Thanks for the idea of the bins. Currently all 3 beds on the one side are occupied (I have 3 kids), but I can still use bins on top of the bunk over the kitchen.
Did you happen to see my question regarding the kitchen mini blind?
Ours had the wand for the kitchen mini-blind. It's just a standard one. Frankly, I don't really like that mini-blind there because with the window crank where it is, there is very little functionality for that blind.
The netting is a good way to save weight :C.
We've got 5 kids and the 4 girls use all the beds in the back. They like to use those cupboards to put their clothes, but I would rather they keep their books/DVDs/and PS2 games there.
I'm encouraging them to use the wardrobe/closet that's opposite the bathroom. When we camp, we don't really wear clothes that need to be hung so I filled that closet with 3 sets of hanging shoe holders. They hang off the rod and provide little compartments for the girls to roll up their clothes and use. The older kids get the higher compartments (because they can reach them). The smallest girl uses bins on her bed since she doesn't need the entire bed space.
It's great seeing more people getting this model (or at least wanting/planning to ;) ) because it really helps us all if anyone has a question or a problem to solve :C.
I returned from our trip to Minneapolis 3 days later than planned because on top of the flat tire that repaired, a worn tire that was replaced, we had a bent axle that caused one of the wheel bearings to fail. It was supposed to be our second to last day, but we had to spend 3 extra days in Montana (not a bad thing) for parts and repair. The entire axle and one drum brake was replaced. Thank goodness for Coach Net!
We spent 27 straight nights in the RV--our longest stretch so far. We're heading again this long weekend :C.
Oh, BTW, when I took delivery of our Premier back in May, I noticed that the bag for the air sofa mattress was defective (torn at some of the holding tabs). The dealer ordered a new one for me and it finally arrived in August. So I guess I'll be trying out the sofa for the first time this weekend.
Is it fairly simple to fold back together?
