Morning all.
From the outset, my project brief was: - My platform – tug – vehicle is my bedroom and my transport, everything else happens outside.
By everything I mean: - Cooking & dishwashing / personal hygiene – showering or basin bathing / toileting / getting dressed / laundry ..... and so on.
All of that auxiliary stuff I refer to as peripherals....Necessary ... but aside from the main objective.
Given that I have very limited space all of those activities have to happen outside.
And all of them I’ve been doing for many years in one rig or another. It’s interesting that, barring my caravan phase, none of them have remained unchanged much over the years and I do have a lot of practice at what works, and what’s “glamping” and for the most part unnecessary.
The only difference is that this is the first time I’m living out of my SUV
I got a lot of extremely valuable pointers from RV, which ultimately let me dodge a ton of bullets, even re-doing, like must be able to sit upright on the bed... Never would have thought of that, but so blooming obvious, how could I have missed it!!!!
And it took weeks of planning to get that right, but I was resolute to not start before I’d resolved that.
And there were a lot more... a HUGE THANK YOU.
So I thought it’s nice that I can perhaps "pay-forward"and post all about the itps and so on I've learnt over some 40 years and the “right thing to do” is to focus my posts on all the peripherals first, and then how I put everything together, my “build” as it were.
But I seem to be not making a connection, (or am I just “off the mark” on this forum, or is it just me being stupid? <again>
Do you chaps actually want the peripherals? Or do you mostly want to know how I put it all together? Shall I first post about how I put it together then do the peripherals?
HELP please...

many connections happen and you will never know how valuable your posted info was to someone. Many are super private here, read and learn but will not 'get connected' as you wish. Connection is not what they want but your great info is indeed accepted and knowledge passed on to others.
