Rough car sketches

I've put some sketches below to help demonstrate the evolution of an idea throughout the design process.

In the first and second sketch below, you can see the wheel arches in the back of the troopie. Don't worry - we're not wasting the space above them, they are just drawn with empty space above to illustrate thier position.

You can see the evolution of two ideas here:

Firstly, the idea of a bed flipping over from the left hand side, over to the right. It's just one of 6 designs we have on paper, but it was convenient to measure them on screen.

The second idea is our way of managing fresh water. We plan to have three 20L jerry cans, one beneath the sink, connected to a water pump and the other two just behind the back seats. The second one is not pictured, but sits along side. You can see one of them in white (only the top bit)

All measurments are exact with regards to the floor plan of the car with the exception of the angle of the front seats -We forgot to get this measurement from our test drive. The wheel arch on the drivers side is slightly longer to allow for the diesel tank filler neck.

You can see in this picture our tap that can be rotated to allow access to water when the back door is open for filling drinking water bottles, washing up outside, filling up the kettle etc.

It's hard to get perspective on the size, but all the sketches sit below the window line. Oh and another thing, we have to make sure there is an access hole in the back of the cupboards so we can fill up the rear window washer bottle - visible in the right picture.
