Sketchup designs

Shown below are two figures from the same point of view. Facing the passenger cab is the top right of each figure, and the bottom left of the pictured truck bed faces the tailgate.

Figure 1: Unrolled bed

Figure 2: Rolled-up bed

After careful consideration for the brainstorm ideas, the following elements have been included in the Sketch-up design in order to visualize the layout:

• The twin bed rolls out, laying between the wheel wells. Approximately 1 cm of space should exist on each side.
• The sink and stove will occupy the pictured spaces at varying times.
• The stove is to fold down
• The sink will slide horizontally over the stove
• A custom cutting board will cover the sink with a lip to prevent movement
• The potty is pictured on the bottom right of both figures
• It will be a composting toilet, sitting tall enough for personal comfort, leaving enough room for composting reactions
• In Figure 2, the bed is rolled up, revealing black mats and a wooden platform
• The black mats will be similar to upholstered seat cushions in three large sections to provide comfort under the bed
• These mats can fold up to encase the bed, creating more usable surface area, and protect the bed from dirt
• The surface under these mats may be carpeted for increased sitting comfort and dirty boots/gear when necessary
• To allow drainage, the wooden floor is a slatted surface with a slanted under-layer
• The shower, toilet and kitchen will be located in this section
• The toilet will rotate to face the stove area when in use, then store in the pictured position
• The shower will be sectioned off, perhaps by a zippered section or curtain
• Shelving pictured in the figures are placeholders for everyday storage (clothes, food, hygiene, supplies)
• The right side of the bed has been left empty aside from the toilet. Remaining space will be used for other essentials (currently undetermined).

Kitchen

• The kitchen will be situated toward the tailgate of the truck, next to the sanitation area
• It must be able to stow away and be out of the way due to safety concerns
• If an emergency arises, occupants must be able to leave the camper quickly. There must be as few obstructions as possible by the doorway in order to ensure safe and quick leave of the space.

Ideas so far:

Actual sink

• Unlike most other campers out there, this camper will feature an actual sink, similar to those found in Tiny Houses.
• Some campers have fold out plastic sinks or buckets. Backpacking supply offers folding or pop up sinks that stow away in a small footprint
• The sink top can be covered by a cutting board or other platform when not in use to increase usable surface area.
• Considering: Lillangen (Brand), a small rectangular sink with built in lip
  

Sliding sink

• the sink will be mounted to a sliding platform that will allow use in the kitchen when necessary, but sit above the wheel wells when in storage

A protective kitchen cover

• If going with the idea of making the camper a bathtub, the kitchen will need a cover of sorts to keep water out in the event of a shower or potty use
• Covering up the kitchen when going potty is important due to sanitation concerns
• It is undesirable for kitchen items to become wet upon showering
• Refer to the "sanitation" section for more details on covers
