La Bestia 18/6/23 P4

 The layout developed in combination with Dove. It became a refinement of my layout (5th iteration) using standard Dove modular items and equipment specifications. They had to provide a warranty so all equipment was what they determined as functional. Mostly Dometic or associated suppliers.

Equipment included:

Toilet/shower cubicle c/w exhaust fan/hatch

Turbo extractor fan/hatch over cooking area

LPG hob

Sink

3x openable windows

110L fridge

Microwave

200W rooftop PV panel

2x100 Ah batteries

1600W inverter

AC/DC & DC/DC chargers

12V TV and retractable rooftop aerial

240V rooftop air conditioner

LPG hot water service

100L fresh water tank and pump

45L grey water recovery tank

Wind out Fiamma awning

External shower pod

Diesel heater

plus an owner supplied 240V air compressor 

They had never used the layout I had landed on. It was a bit of a challenge to convince them it would work. The key difference being a convertible meals area with slide out table combined with north-south bed direction. The boot layout was also critical for functionality.

My specification was a bit of an eye opener to them (image of page 2 of 4 included here)
