Towing requires a 1-ton truck, roughly a mid-size heavy-duty pickup (e.g. Ford F-350 or similar class vehicle).
Ariana's model is set up for short-term off-grid use: water tank (rainwater collection possible), stove/oven and refrigerator can run on either electricity or propane, propane fireplace, composting toilet. Gray water (dishes/shower/washing machine) can be held in a small tank and disposed of at a campsite hookup or — if biodegradable products are used (the only kind kept on board) — released in nature. A washer/dryer combo is located under the stairs to the axle-side loft. A solar-panel and battery combination provides off-grid electricity.
Heating is provided by a propane fireplace stove located below the ladder to the porch-side loft.
Lighting consists of LED elements built into the ceiling and loft beams.
Ground Floor
Floor Plan
Furnishings – Ground Floor, Right to Left
Porch / Terrace
A small rain-protected area in front of the entrance door, covered by the rear loft. There is room for one (rocking) chair on. On each porch post hangs a Bryn Mawr owl lantern with light blue glass panes.
Entrance Area / Dining Table
Two benches face each other between the front wall and the start of the kitchen counter / refrigerator. They have seat cushions, and the bench boxes provide storage — including Ariana's camping gear and thermal clothing.
The dining table consists of a tabletop that can be pulled up by ropes to just below the ceiling (i.e. the underside of the porch-side loft floor) and secured there. Four long legs can be clicked on to bring it to dining table height, or four short legs to keep it at bench height, in which case the seat cushions can be folded out to create an additional sleeping space for two people.
Note: The door is currently still blocked when the table is lowered, as it opens inward.
Kitchen Area
Kitchen – Left Side
On the left side of the entrance: the kitchen counter. Two-burner cook top with oven below. Two magnetic strips on the wall behind the cook top hold kitchen knives and magnetic utensils (ladles etc.). Next to the cook top: a section of work surface with two deep drawers for dishes and supplies.
Next to the work surface is the kitchen sink, with pull-out drawers below for the dustbin, cleaning products, dish cloths etc. The sink can be covered with a wooden board for additional counter space. Window above the sink. Above the cook top and work surface: two shelves with rubber band guards, holding frequently used staples such as coffee, muesli, and tea. Under the lowest shelf, Ariana has mounted a metal strip from which magnetic spice tins hang. On the work surface: a portafilter espresso machine.
Dishes and cutlery are typically held in sets of 5, gathered eclectically from flea markets. Notable items include Pac-Man cooking spoons and a game console kitchen towel.
