People, after 6 weeks on the road, we have some improvements to propose in the way things work. We need to make business cases, issue RFPs and get to work. Soon.
1. Toilets that empty themselves, as Martijn suggested earlier. Come on, we can go to Mars nowadays, something should be possible from a technology/ automation perspective. We are open to solutions with reasonable prices.
2. Hammocks that move themselves. We all now how extremely annoying it is when this moment comes that the hammock stops moving and you still haven’t fallen asleep. Unacceptable. We need a solution soon. Something like the mechanism that rotates the lamb in the Greek Easter, adapted for hammocks. Just saying. All proposals accepted.
3. (This is very innovative and needs society mindset change): We need silencers for kids. The kids can still scream, if they want, they will just wear this special thing in their mouth so that the noise level decreases. It is impossible otherwise.
(Citing an average dialogue with Gioia, occurs some million times a day:
Gioia: says something very loud
Sissy/Martijn: ‘Less loud moppie, we are not alone’
Gioia: continues in the same volume
Sissy/Martijn: ‘Shhhh, less loud, we need to respect our neighbours.’
Gioia: ‘Why?’
Sissy/Martijn: f*ck, there we go with the ‘why’ story again.
Gioia: goes on in high decibels, nothing changes
Sissy/Martijn: (with sweet voice, though starting getting nervous): Gioia, I am next to you, you don’t need to scream
Gioia: notices some irritation from dad and mom, but continues making het point very loudly.
The next scene has Martijn and Sissy banging their head on whatever surface is available.)
Healthy people come from healthy families, and you can’t have a healthy family without sane parents. All proposals accepted.
4. We need a smart vacuum cleaner for the campers and the area outside. Something that can be smart enough to know if it is dust, or sand, or food or liquid, that can lift the ladders and the bags on the floor when cleaning and can make a nice ‘beeep’ when done, so you know you can enter your clean camper again. When working outside, the supercleaner needs to evaluate the wind situation and work accordingly. Meaning: if the wind insists on blowing in the same direction with the same power, either do nothing and try again later (no point in cleaning), or keep cleaning and recleaning like a maniac, as per a certain user setting.
5. We have many trees growing in very unhandy for the camper positions. We need a way out – literally. We propose horizontal and vertical saws, placed on the top and sides of the camper that cut what whatever is on the way. We imagine weid landscapes where a square shape is left behind between trees, but we believe people will get used to it and might even like it eventually. High priority.
6. Washing up. We have no clue how to solve this, all options are good options. We are open to suggestions.
