Big Build Update 02/12/24 — Reimagining the bed layout
Remember when I said this build was “done” over a year ago? …I should have known better 
I now find myself in the process of reimagining the bed layout to improve a few quality of life things for another massive ~7 – 8 month long trip! (Headed up to the far reaches of Newfoundland & Labrador via stops in the keys, appalachia, and UP.)
The simplicity of the bed layout as its exists has been excellent—and if it wasn’t for another extended period of full time living out of the GFC, I’d most likely leave it exactly as is. It’s the perfect simple setup for overnighters, weekends, and 1 – 3 week long trips w/o accommodation “breaks”.
The QoL improvements to be made are to support the comfort of “full time” living:
- Downsizing our fridge (To 45L from 95L) and relocating it to the cab.
- Introducing running water for cooking, cleaning, etc.
- Improving the comfort of the open “lounging space”
- Honoring the principals that went into our current layout: Maintaining a sense of openness with an approachable, comfortable, and minimal feel that prioritizes livable space over gear.
Excited to share more with y’all here as things progress. In the meantime cross-posting a few of my marketplace listings, including a free GFC mattress and the custom cabinet that was built for the current layout. Please DM me if interested in either!
