I agree with all that OpenD but in my case I need to keep one end for storage of large dirty items. I also like the idea of a sleeping nook at the closed end, so I envision entry through a standard door in the side, plus a few small windows in the sides, all reinforced as necessary so that the container is not unduly weakened. This departs somewhat from the KISS principle you so elegantly espouse and which I truly admire. I had thought along those lines myself. I just have to keep the big doors for the lawnmowers and similar junk and entry through the side makes laying out a living space lots easier.
