I’ve been documenting my initial planning phase for an Office on Wheels project — a mobile workspace and camper trailer combination. I’m using Notion to organise research and define the project’s capabilities and requirements.
I initially envisioned a single-bed design, emphasising the office functionality over sleeping quarters. However, upon developing user stories, I had a realisation: it needs to have a double bed as I will use it to go away other than for just working trips.
Design Specifications
My preliminary sketches outline dimensions of approximately 2200mm wide with a 3600mm main cabin length. The trailer features an extended drawbar with an integrated bike rack to keep the overall structure lightweight and portable.
Prototyping Strategy
Drawing on past experience, I reference a cautionary lesson: furniture pieces that met individual requirements proved too small for all the things we had not thought of… and ultimately they were very expensive failures.
To mitigate similar issues, I plan to construct a full-scale mockup of the interior within my studio space.
