Appreciate the ideas of the prior 213 fans, and may well eventually go for that idea if all else fails.
So far Old Blister--er My Sweet Bride--wants to keep the sofa and dinette as both are handy, they just don't make a bed she likes.
We did a little foam wedge & air mattress routine for a few outings but that wasn't good enough for our geezer bodies.
We turned the dinette into our head space which does work better but still there a a couple obstacles to Real Comfort.
Next we are hitting the custom Foam Man this week for another experiment.
Question on 'cabin noise' from the kitches-back area:
We've managed to tune most of the clatter down several notches, yes still have a few annoyances, dependent on how rough the pavement is. Freeways is pretty quiet.
Just "how quiet" is the general practical level?
We;ve padded the pots & pans, put a really wonderful cutting block/silencer on the stove rack, & found ways to get rid of 'most' the clatter. Don't know how much effort & how far to expect to go.
