Hard Sided Pop Up Questions

We bought a used Chalet & used it several years then traded it off for a 26 tt with a bathroom. I missed it terribly for the convenience. It actually set up in 5 minutes. We bought a quality futon mattress from a furniture store & left the cushions at home so had a bed made up all the time. Area below bed was open & I used 4 cardboard apple boxes for clothes & towels. Dinette cushions were for 4 people total so removed them & covered foam (used foam from old sofa cushions) to make smaller seats & make room for a new 8” deep cabinet that went across the front from side to side with 2 sliding doors for dishes & groceries. We built it ourselves. shelf on top for alarm clock or even small crockpot. We wired in an outlet & stained it to match the base cabinets. We bent 2 aluminum strips so they would hook into the A frame above the sink & laid a piece of wire shelving on it so it made a nice shelf high & out of the way. Kept a plastic dishpan up there & that’s where dirty dishes went. Only do dishes 1x day. Shelf & bracelets laid on bed when we folded up. Table takes up valuable room so we leave it home & eat on lap trays or outside.
We’ve concluded our tt is too much work so we are inches from trading it off for another aliner. Bottom line, is keep it simple & enjoy your time more.
