So I've been looking into sand crawlers and I love the idea more and more.
Star Wars' Sand Crawlers are around 40 m long (130 ft), and 17 m high and wide (55 ft). According to one source they reach around 30 km/h (19 mph), which would make sense since they are so massive.
So I've gone ahead and one with AW's "creating a vehicle":
It would probably have a frame similar to the Semi/Bus/Ambulance category or even more, so Massive 3 or even 4, 2 Battle opions.
It's strengths would be huge and capacious i think, given that according to wookiepedia a crawler can fit an entire jawa clan and a cargo of up to 1500 droids.
Also capacious would give us the possibility to fit the establishment, the child-thing's den and the savvyhead's workplace.
For looks I went for powerful, because it's more or less a moving building.
As a weakness, slow would fit, given the 30 km/h listed above. Could also be a guzzler because you need a lot of fuel to move that thing.
As battle options I chose +1 armor and +1 massive, mainly because speed and handling don't really fit.

So what do you guys think? Any thing i should change?
Also, I am really considering being the driver of this monster, with "My other car is a tank" as a move, parking that specialised battle vehicle in the Crawler's garage.

I like the idea more and more also, I think you've picked the specs pretty well. I think for strengths I would prefer something more like off-road and easily repaired but the ones you choose seem to make sense for the vision. and it probably wouldn't be fair to ignore the reality of the thing.
plan of the sandcrawler I started making
I started making a drawing of how we might lay out the inside. it's still a rough-draft but something to get us thinking about where we might have our rooms, how we might accept guests inside, where we might eat meals, make plans ect..

some of the things I'll naturally be looking at is:
adding detail to the rooms, figuring out defenses (gun emplacements, etc...)

for the moment I'm imagining that my establishment will be in the sub-layer or even in a corner of the main hold. the retractable stair seems like it goes into the sub-layer and when the big hatch goes down, it leads straight into the hold.

I love it! Scab is going to be crawling in and out of every inch of that thing!

I love your design and would like to immediately call dibs on the room near the bridge!
Also maybe park my second car in the hangar/savvyhead workshop~

I imagine that my area will be near the lower-rear so that I have a garage area that we can lower a ramp and drive into. I think it looks awesome.

This is awesome. I love this idea. Let’s get this going. I’ll put up our first chapter thread.
