A simple and light weight solution for the front bed.

• IKEA LURÖY slatted base inserted into the mattress
• Custom made cover
• Two tensioning straps to keep the mattress in place

Details about how Ronny has been wired will follow here soon. Below you’ll find a sneak preview of some of the different features that are already installed.

Two solar panels provide off grid autonomy to a custom battery (which can also charge when plugged in on mains power). Programming of all the different features is done with a Rasperry Pi.

Features already installed include the actuators for the bed, a reversing camera, water pump, starry sky and lights and a car radio (because the basics also count).

The bed is probably our craziest idea. Since Ronny seats 7, it would be absurd if it only sleeps 2, or 3. The logical solution was a bed that can be stowed away during the day, and lowered for the night. Some research led us to several available -and very expensive- solutions. Then we stumbled upon the website of Linak. Sofie exchanged ideas with one of their agents, and so we bought an actuator system for the bed. It turned out absolutely amazing! Enter the starry sky below the bed and you’ll have to agree, that this is an absolute masterpiece.
