As I look at it I see that in a sense the vehicle is two side by side  
recumbents, and so perhaps you should think of it that way.

Work to protect each person, and ensure that any equipment is in  
waterproof bags or boxes. It's hard to imagine it as a whole without  
all the other stuff you will carry. I suppose ponchos on the people,  
with helmets that have clear treated visors might seem too simple or  
primitive...? Can you use cardboard boxes to get a rough idea of the  
vehicle all loaded up? Since this is not a streamlined HPV, and it's  
stable on four wheels, aerodynamics are not so important.
