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)
