Real Life and more....

Thought I'd take a few minutes to share some experiences that I have had the past 2 years in regards to RV's..

Two years ago...my daughter and son-in-law bought a trailer (RV) and took me along for a trip to the east coast to re-connect with my past! This RV was really comfy. It had a bathroom completely across the back of it with tub, shower, vanity, toilet and clothes closet......privacy galore! The table made into my bed and although it was a wee bit short...it was hard and really comfortable and I slept like a baby! All in all it was a great trip, and I decided I could handle the "RV experience"

Well, during the next year they traded that RV in for a 5th wheel, which sits on the bed of a truck. This time we were off again to the east coast for my sister's 50th wedding anniversary. A very different experience this time..... This RV had a "tip-out" which consisted of a dining table and chairs and a couch which made into a queen size bed! Now ,here's the part where bigger is NOT always better! The bed (when open) had a "blow -up" mattress and when inflated was like the rolling hills of Tennessee. I had to find a groove for each section of my body. I tried to sleep on it several times just as a couch but it was so narrow that all the covers would slide off and I would be froze! Since the table didn't make into a bed I had no other choices and the table and chairs were soooo close to the couch that you couldn't sit there to eat anyway.The kitchen bar had 2 stools at it and 2 nice swivel lazy boy chairs, but I prefer a bed of sorts to sleep on!

Thennnn.....there was the bathroom...open for all to see from stem to stern. Going up the 3 stairs to the bedroom, on the left was a tub/shower and a sink and on the right was an itty bitty closet with a toilet in it. You really had to go out to change your mind! Not possible to get dressed in and if you were of any size.....forget it! I weigh 100 lbs soaking wet and I found it tight quarters!

There were curtains between the bath apparatus and the bed but certainly not sound proof and pretty flimsy.
So....I think I have finished with the "RV" crowd. I am a creature of habit and this will not become one I can assure you and I haven't even mentioned the bug bites and the bee sting...Oh well ...maybe the next time I get on a "pity kick"....cya
