Tree of Life is based on a large fifth wheel travel trailer with several expanding slide-outs that give the interior a very spacious feeling.
The original fiberglass body was lined with rigid foam insulation that is held in place by decorative cedar shingles.
A separate metal roof is framed over the original contoured roof.
The area under the raised bedroom where the fifth wheel hitch is located has been enclosed to create a storage room.
A deck with steps leading up to it and natural wooden railings surrounds the entry door.
This means that in order to move the unit, it is necessary to dismantle several of these components before the slide-outs can be retracted and the trailer becomes roadworthy.
The exterior and interior decorative motifs relate to Tree of Life in a number of ways.
Surrounding the outside is a veritable forest of trees that weave around each other.

Inside, the marquetry shows replicas of many works of art found throughout historical and prehistorical times, such as the ancient cave paintings (below).

And a Zoom friend of mine asked if I would mind if he made a video about it so here is a link to that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
I sold the Tree of Life to a couple who live near Gila Hot Springs in New Mexico, so now it is set up in this grand location.
