We have to take some storage out so we can have a bed. I am not just taking it out
for the sake of only more space. The space is intended for sleeping. The bed that
came with this unit is not wide enough. It pulls out to create a bed only slightly
larger than a twin. AND is designed poorly. When collapsed into a couch
the back rests 6 inches from the wall comes out way too far.
We will actually gain some space when we build a dinette in the front (under the
seats) The previous owner installed a solid oak booth purchased at a furniture store
and bolted it to the floor. It was heavy, uncomfortable, no storage and did not look
good. It left the batteries exposed as well. By rearranging the bed set
up we will lose 30 inches of storage, which is considerable but gain quite a bit in
the front when we build a dinette. We are considering having the dinette colapse into
a bed. The problem is again, size. We are used to a queen bed and will do fine with a
double size. A good nights sleep is important and the bed/dinette
still makes a small sleeping space. We are not big people but I want to be
comfortable. 3 months is a long time. Any feed back on this will be appreciated.
I don't like spray painting. It is messy difficult to use. I prefer to use rags and
sponges. Thanks for the heads up on the white being too bright. I may change my mind
too. At this point we are open to all options and are taking the advice here very
seriously.
