Excellent dimension, functional layout with the ability to individualize, wonderful use of light placement and reasonable platform for a balanced structure. When will you have plans and a production video online? I volunteer with a traveling health group and this beats the Chev cargo van I’ve converted to a mobile clinic/bedroom/education center/storage van hands down. We’ve stayed away from the towed campers and self-contained units because it takes as much time and money to convert the overflowing floor plans of the less-pricey units as it does to buy new. Heating and aux pwr is also a problem with commercial units. Being able to start with an open floor plan, insulate and wire it to our equipment needs and put in a few travel luxuries would make a big difference to our effectiveness on site…and free up the van for the storage/equipment transport it was designed for. Also, the look of the PAD units is warm and inviting, something our clients will appreciate as well. Looking forward to seeing more of your products. gg
Gus! Thank you for the feedback! Shoot us an e-mail at PAD, http://www.portlandalternativedwellings.com, if you’d ever like to talk more. We’d love to work with you on designing and building something to fit your needs.
thanks again!!! Dee
Fun idea – think we’ll see a section of Portland devoted to these like we will with the food carts? You never know – good luck with your venture!
