we're building a CAMPER PLANE (part 1)

You’ve probably heard of camper vans… but what about prepping a plane for full time living? Think 'Van Life' meets 'Plane Life'. This week we finally installed our first camper prototype into the plane - and quickly realized it wasn’t going to work quite the way we hoped. So instead of forcing it, we went back to the drawing board and started building something completely from scratch. Our goal with this whole setup is to make full time travel as easy & multifunctional as possible, since we’re about to hit the road full time! We installed L-track in the back that everything will lock into so she’s firmly planted in there but can also take it all out when not wanting to use it! Our birds got a 1,330 lb useful load and it’s currently looking like our wood prototype will be right around 100 lbs, but we’re trying to keep it as light weight as possible! So once we complete this prototype and decide if we like the layout, ‪@DriveOVP‬ is helping us create the final design out of a stronger, light weight material🙌 So if you love aviation, have a passion for travel or are even just curious what the final product of a ‘camperplane’ is going to look like (lowkey so are we 😂) be sure to follow along! It’s already been a wild journey!!🤘 Prototype #2 is officially underway - and things are finally starting to click.
