Hi Ingo,

These are the things I would consider.
1. enclosed or not for security/gravel rash for bikes.

2.build it high to clear those rough tracks you want to get to.

3.build it stronger than necessary so you burn those precious hours riding not fixing.

4.water tank for drinking/cooking/showering.

5. 2 X 12 volt pumps 1x for water,1x for fuel.

6. pull out kitchen or BBQ.

7. cheap 12 volt $20 shower.

8. 3rd battery for lights inside and out,and your shower ?stereo solar panel (its Great !)

9.lockable tool box for compressor and tools.

10.lockable box for helmet Armour ,boots ETC.

11.flat floor with relocatable alloy channels . (different bikes ) or to sleep in??

12.Awning for those Veg days wet days working on bikes.

13.roof racks ,we put a basket on ours once.

14.cool spray job LOL!!

Hope this helps as they say collect all thoughts shape it to your needs and do it once do it right .

Cheers.

Its was us Sir kev.

Unfortunately the site path bandwidth is preventing me from uploading images to-night , there is one image of the basic frame upside down in members pics.

I'll try and add some when the comms improves.

Was a lot of fun Ingo , and our design stood up very well thanks to reasonable suspension movement.
I made significant and time consuming error.
That was to fit mudguards early on - the requirements of getting the suspension just right meant I cut the guards off and re-made them, as the spring hanger positions changed.

In the end we achieved our $1000 ex wheels budget, and friends with us had theirs made commercially and they did not work as well.
