A structural panel for a recreational vehicle includes a plurality of layers laminated together to form a lamination. The lamination forms an outer surface of the structural panel, which is configured to form a sidewall, a ceiling, or a floor of the recreational vehicle when mounted in the recreational vehicle relative to the vehicle chassis. The structural panel further includes an image that is formed on or in one of the plurality of layers in or internal to the structural panel and which is visible at the outer surface. The image is in a location that is in a known fixed registry with a structural reference, such as the outer perimeter, of the structural panel prior to the panel being mounted in the recreational vehicle wherein the location of the image is known relative to the structural reference of the structural panel.

SPATIAL AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE FRAME STRUCTURE
20220402554 · 2022-12-22 ·

A spatial frame structure of a vehicle designed for connecting structural assemblies. The described frame construction allows the use of interchangeable high-capacity fuel tanks. As a result, most structural assemblies are mounted to the outside of the frame, thus creating additional space in which elements of alternative fuel and energy source systems (e.g. natural gas tanks, electric batteries) can be assembled. This makes it possible to increase the working time of the agricultural vehicle. The frame construction comprises rigidly interconnected longitudinal tubular beams, transverse, perpendicular and diagonally arranged structural pipes, additionally connecting stiffness elements. The structure includes fastening elements for connecting the following structural assemblies: rear wheel hubs, which are assembled with electric drives; mechanical implement coupling device; structure of replaceable fuel tanks; door platform; folding driver's cab; chassis steering axle with electric drive; side component containers; power plant; mechanical coupling device for trailers and semi-trailers.
