Here is a quick video to give you an update on the interior.
We started to put some shiplap on the wall. It makes a huge difference. But with all the cabinets and and other finishing on the walls, we realize we bought way to much of this stuff. Good thing we can bring it back.
It was great to put in the The Tiny Wood Stove. We will do a more in-depth post about it later, but key reason we selected this was the tiny footprint, the ability to have wood storage on the bottom, air intake from outside, and most of all that it has an oven!!!
Another item we have not talked much about yet is the awesome TV lift from TVLiftCabinet.com. We are building some automation around it and the key feature here is its ability to rotate the screen 180 degrees so we can use it both downstairs and in the lounge.
More to come soon….
You have some great ideas in designing this mobile home. I’m sure it will be an awesome way to travel across the country!
I wonder if it may be feasible to incorporate a regenerative breaking system coupled with the lithium battery system, so as to harness energy while descending on roads, and simultaneously reduce brake pad wear. And maybe something to similarly harness wind energy, especially when moving on the road.
Very interesting. Our Tesla uses regenerative breaking, but I wonder how much it actually contributes. Unless we drive a lot or all the time, I wonder if it is worth the investment.
Wind is something that I do think make sense as it can be contributing whether we drive or not.
One thing we certainly realized is that the north east winters do not provide enough sun given our solar foot print. We allowed enough space for two more battery modules which we may opt for. Then looking at various alternatives to add three more solar panels.
