Modeling My Future Box Van

I vote barn doors. the problem I see with your plan above is you are losing a lot of cubic feet. plus you have a small door again. I also vote for a few windows. highdesertranger

Spent a little time this evening playing around with adding windows that are concealable.

Neat window concept...but just make sure that you're tall enough to be able to raise the window coverings.

Dragging around a step stool just so you can open and close window coverings is likely to get a little old real quick....

Nicoloyd, thanks for posting your sketchup ideas. I used Excel and and loved visualizing the possibilities, but this is way cool.

I got to thinking... a little 'outside the box' ... on the 10' box study. What about a raised roof there in the middle so you can walk tall? Keep enough cross-beam structural integrity, don't go above the solar panel finish height. Maybe just have one fan up there and put the other one somewhere else. A sound-deadening mat and thin carpet or vinyl might suffice for flooring.

Good ideas sassypickins, thank you. I had thought about raising the roof of the 10' box, still a consideration. I am not done playing with the 10' box yet, working on both box models to better weigh out their pro's and con's.
