Many things have changed over this long, extremely snowy winter, including a lot of my plans for the Vehicle. In a few weeks, I'll be meeting with designers at Advantage Trailer Company in Illinois to finalize plans so they can build me an enclosed trailer shell. This is a gooseneck trailer with a complete metal shell--the "skin" of my little house.
I'm looking at a solar powered mini-split for heating and cooling. The mini-split is a magical machine that extracts heat from cold winter air! I'm also planning on a small wood stove for cooking and back-up heat.
I've abandoned the fancy, experimental insulations I was considering, and am going for closed cell rigid foam and thick walls, to super-insulate my space.
Those are the headlines for now. More details to follow.
