Trailers and motor homes are still uncommon vehicles in Brazil – especially compared to countries like the United States, for example, where the culture of traveling around the country in these houses on wheels is strong. Even so, the public interested in them has been growing – and understanding a little more about this market niche can open your company's doors to these new customers. First, as the name implies, these vehicles are basically houses on wheels – and houses need, of course, furniture. In this specific case, however, everything needs to be very well thought out. The furniture needs to be all bespoke, light and multifunctional. HOW TO CREATE FURNITURE FOR MOTOR HOME AND TRAILERS It is clear that the design of furniture and environments is something that is part of the daily life of any joinery. But in this case, this is even more important. As space in these vehicles is very limited, absolutely everything needs to be planned in advance for the environment to be functional. Also, the more mobiles that are all-in-one, the better. A bed, for example, can turn into a sofa, a folding table can be hidden in a closet. THINK ABOUT STORAGE As with any space-constrained environment, it is important that furniture is designed to optimize storage spaces. Seats, for example, can have a hollow interior; the bed can be designed to house drawers or dividers underneath; cabinets can have customizable dividers for the customer to choose how to organize their internal space. In addition, as a complement, there are also accessories that can make life easier in a vehicle like this – thinner hangers (especially the velvet ones, which don't let the parts slip) or multiples . Also think about the specific needs for each of the rooms, so that they are always organized. The kitchen should have adequate cabinets to hold ingredients (niche for small seasoning jars, for example), and a board for cutting food that fits exactly in the sink bowl is also a good way to gain space. The bathroom must have adequate space for toiletries such as shampoo and conditioner. SPECIFIC NEEDS At the planning stage, also ask your customer what their motor home habits are – where they like to travel and what they like to do. For someone who loves outdoor cooking, a place to store a grill and a small folding table with stools can come in very handy. For those looking to spend a lot of time on the road, a clothesline or place to hang clothes (such as a rope with hooks) outside can also come in handy. For those looking for an even more self-sufficient vehicle, it is also possible to install solar energy capture boards on the roof. And, if you intend, in addition to creating furniture for different spaces, to also start restoring ready-made spaces and pieces, here we give some tips on the subject.
