Very well thought out.
It must be very heavy though with all of those slides and cabinets.
One wonders why he did not utilise the wider width to the outside of the flares when closed, which could have made it much wider when opened?
The drop down bed is a great use of space...

Very complex. I like the drop down bed.

Ha! If Clarkson had built it, it would have fallen apart at the first pothole.I just watched the video. Its bloody great. I love the way it folds out and all the things are handy and the way it fits together. No good if ur a fat bastard like me but brilliant engineering.

If Clarkson had built it he would have blown it up too.

I wounded if there are manual override options for all those motors.. could present a problem down the track..

I really like the way that the dunny/shower area can be utilised when not in use unlike in most designs [thumbsupbig]

I love how he has thought of the build in terms ‘how much time you spend using something.’ If you only use it for a short period of time then perhaps it should be able to be moved away out of sight? I love this idea, maybe we should be organising/designing our living and work spaces like this?

Would be interesting to know the cost. Wouldn't be cheap.

Put it across dusty- corrugated and/or muddy roads and I wonder how it will handle it.... Dirt and Dusty in all those sliding tracks would be interesting....

Not when it’s shut / sealed... [emoji6]

The KK lift up and several others seem to manage without a hitch!

As do all the slides on drill rigs etc [emoji41]
