INSPIRATION
See how we got our ideas! Inspiration is an artists best friend.

Tiphoon Expandable Trailer
A sleek concept design by Tipoon
The concept of being able to slide out up and out was the first inspiration we had when it came to the base of the prototype.

Future Improvements
Model Height
Model Layout
It seems when considering the built model we failed to recognize the height differance between the top and bottom. We will improve our next model by making custom wheels to fit a shorter model instead of building the model around the wheels.
We want to create a physical model that showcases the layout of built in and moved-in furniture and utilities that the Cosmic Camper will hold inside.
Full inclusion
Aesthetics
We will build in a compartment in the bottom just so we can place the "ECLSS" system (Rasberry Pi) without interfering with aesthetics. Items. Water tanks, piping, solar panels, and windows will be put on the final model to ensure full prototype accuracy.
Aesthetics are important, to ensure the accuracy of the prototype. The final prototype will be improved to look like the final vision of the model, Including color, model shape, and model functions.
