First Houseguests

We had friends visit last week and stay in our RV with us.  Rick and Tanya came from Nova Scotia for six days.  Now, you have to wonder, how can 4 adults and a large dog live happily and comfortable in a 38 foot RV?  It was fantastic!  We had plenty of room and loads of fun!

Making the bed up the first time was a challenge.  The directions were worthless and we couldn't really remember the demo we got upon delivery.  But after a couple glasses of wine anything is possible.  The bed is an air mattress inside the sofa.  It is put together somewhat differently than a traditional sofa bed.  When you open it there is an air compressor to pump it up....no blowing at all!  There was still room around the sides to move and get in and out.  And there's straps to keep it from sliding off during the night.  Can't you just see that - as you toss around during the night all of a sudden the whole mattress dumps you on the floor?  Good thing there are straps.  So, anyway each night we made it up and each morning we took it down.

My galley is a 'one butt galley' and we did eat each breakfast and all but one dinner at home.  I planned very simple meals so we would have lots of time to play.  No dishwasher but since everyone was right there in the same room with me, I really didn't mind doing dishes....I wasn't off in another room while everyone else had fun.  And Tanya dried each time....thanks, Tanya!

So, we have found that there is plenty of space for anything we might need to do.  Having friends stay with us is FUN!  Like camping!
