Moturis 23ft Freedom Elite

Some dear friends of ours will be touring the US in a Moturis 23ft Freedom Elite rental soon. They have a baby and she is wondering if a baby travel bed will fit somewhere in the camper? I was thinking, if anywhere, perhaps where the dining table sits? Does anyone know or have any other suggestions or ideas?

Thanks in advance! :)

    Depends on which baby travel bed.

    The Pack 'N Play we've used off and on with various grandchildren over the past 12 years would probably fit in the aisle of that RV, between the dinette and range. If that space is too narrow, it should still fit inside the U-shape dinette, with table removed, maybe extending lengthwise into the aisle.

    I don't see any other places in that floorplan where I would put a baby bed at night. Even that location is not very good, because the bed will block emergency egress for people sleeping in the back of the RV.

    Something else that might work, if you can handle the reach into the bed, would be to convert the dinette to a bed, leaving the cushions off, and put the baby bed up there. That space works for my grandson's latest travel bed, which is kind of a little indoor tent with a padded floor. But he's 30 months, different needs from an infant. If that's what you mean by "baby."

    The size of the bed, the size of the space, are the critical factors, both vaguely know. My youngest daughter bought a Pack 'N Play early 2012 that was about 4 inches narrower, 4 inches shorter, than the one my wife and I bought about ten years earlier.


    I'm not sure which travel bed they have. I think you're right that where the dinette sits will probably be the best option. The baby is 10 months old. I like your idea of just converting the dinette and then leaving the cushions off. I think that would definitely work if it didn't fit safely where the table goes.

    I may see if I can find this model somewhere local and just measure the space so that they know exactly what their options are and pack accordingly.

    Thanks so much for taking the time to answer and for your suggestions! :)

    As Europeans, I'm sure they'd be shocked that the baby *not* traveling in a car seat was an option. Thanks for your concern, though.
