A fully functional RV vehicle mod for DayZ with two operational modes: Drive Mode and Camp Mode.
This mod adds a realistic RV (Recreational Vehicle) that serves as a mobile base. Players can drive it to a location and deploy it as a functional camp with powered utilities and water supply.
- Fully drivable vehicle
- Standard vehicle controls
- Compact mode for transportation
- Storage accessible but utilities disabled
- Deployable/stationary mode
- All utilities become functional
- Interior access enabled
- Full crafting and survival functionality
The RV requires specific resources to power its utilities in Camp Mode:
- External mounting point for portable generator
- Powers all electrical systems
- Generator must be fueled and running
- Required for: lights, electric stove operation
- Fillable water storage system
- Capacity: [TBD - suggest 50-100L]
- Must be filled from water sources
- Required for: sink functionality
- Attachment slot for gas canister
- Powers gas appliances
- Required for: stove/cooking functionality
All utilities only work in Camp Mode when proper resources are equipped:
- Interior lighting system
- Requires: Generator (fueled and running)
- Toggle on/off in camp mode
- Functional water source
- Requires: Filled water tank
- Use for: drinking water, washing items, filling containers
- Water consumption depletes tank
- Cooking surface for food preparation
- Requires:
- Gas canister (for flame)
- Generator (for electric ignition/controls)
- Standard DayZ cooking mechanics
- Built-in storage compartments
- Accessible in both modes
- Capacity: [TBD]
- [TBD - specify which crafting stations]
- Only functional in Camp Mode

Since you mentioned having no 3D modeling skills, here are some options:
-
Use Existing Models:
- Look for existing RV/vehicle models in DayZ modding community
- Adapt vanilla vehicle models
- Use free 3D models with appropriate licenses
-
Community Resources:
- DayZ Modding Discord communities
- Bohemia Interactive forums
- Workshop collaborations
-
Focus on Functionality:
- Start with existing vehicle as base
- Focus on scripting the unique mechanics
- Add visual elements later through collaboration
