While we were staying in Draper I decided to get some shots of inside the RV. Maddie usually slept on the dining table that folds out into a bed. Grace and Emily slept in two different Pack ’n' Plays right in front of the stove and fridge. I’d usually get Gracie up and lay her down with Maddie while I put the Pack ’n’ Play away so we could get to the fridge.
The three boys shared the bunk beds, which are pretty spacious.
This is the view from the master bedroom looking towards the back of the trailer. The door is on the left right here.
This is the view when you come into the trailer from the door. To the right is the master bedroom and to the left is the kitchen and dining area.
Here is a view of the master bedroom. There are two sliding doors to enter this room.
Proof I was there!
Looking out the door. The master is on my left now and the kitchen on my right.
Another shot of the kitchen/girls’ room. We ended up clipping fitted crib sheets over the tops of the Pack ’n’ Plays and then blankets and towels all around the sides to help keep the girls warm and to help Emily settle down. This was definitely the coolest area of the trailer with the AC going and the girls would have gotten the brunt of the cooled air. They stayed nice and cozy and it definitely helped cut down on the distractions and stimuli for Emily.
The tiny little bathroom sink that actually sits outside of the bathroom.
A look at the bathroom. It’s not a full-sized tub but two littles fit in there just fine. I was so glad to be able to get a tub at all. It works great! While we were driving we kept all the bathroom supplies in there. Josh and the boys usually took showers at the RV facilities so they had a bin they would take with them every morning. And there was a bin for the girls if we decided to stay in the RV or go to the facilities too. None of the kids EVER went to the showers or bathrooms by themselves.
This shot is taken by standing in the bathroom doorway and looking towards the front of the trailer. You can see the two sliding doors for the master bedroom. The TV is mounted on that big black space between the two sliding doors and it swivels around so it can be used in the master or in the main part of the trailer. We watched it way more in the master bedroom because it was so much quieter in there with the doors closed. It was almost impossible to hear in the main part of the trailer with the AC on. :(
The couch on the left of this picture also folds out to a full-size bed but Maddie thought the dining area was more comfortable. We’ll probably move Ryley over to the couch and let Cash and Sawyer have their own bunk beds eventually.
Storage for clothing was the biggest issue we had. This trailer really has a ton of storage and it was great. The master bed lifts up and there is access to a big space where we put all the plastic bins that had the clothes in them. Originally my plan was to have 7 bins have clothes for everyone everyday and have all the jammies and underwear/socks in two other bins. As the trip went on we found that rolling up outfits for everyone with their undies and everything in them was a better plan. That way we only needed two bins out at a time - the dirty clothes bin and the clean clothes bin. We ended up storing all the jammies in some drawers under the dining seats. All the blankets were stored in the drawer beneath the couch. The Pack ’n’ Plays got put away everyday and stored on the bottom bunk bed. Towels were a big problem and usually got hung up on door to the bathroom or the dining table or on the sides of the Pack ’n” Plays to dry out. We also tried to hang them up outside on makeshift clothes lines but that never really seemed to work.
Even though it was tight and we usually had to eat in shifts the trailer was a great way to travel. Sure beats having to unload and reload the car into two different hotel rooms every day and night. We can’t wait to take it out again!
