lol I loved reading your post birdbybird...
We dont have a 'cosco' here although I have seen them as we've traveled around the country. I guess I'll have too keep looking. Eventually, when I'm not looking, I will probably find a mattress. I like the air mattress ok. It is a special one made for Hospital Beds so it is not thick BUT it is HOT. I am am not a cold natured person and it about burns me up. Finally instead of using sheets on it? I just put a thick quilt over it and that did help too keep from getting so hot at night..
We love too meet people when we're traveling. We have been on a few tours (not via MH) and met a lot of wonderful people along the way. In Sept we are going too 'Reelfoot Lake' in Tennessee. That is one part of Tennessee we've never been too. There is some wonderful photography shots there and I do love dabbling in photography. Here is one photo shot I found online. It only makes me more curious about the trip..

Sooo...it takes a whole month before your guilt in delaying our pics moves you to take corrective action:)
You really have opened the interior space. That wider aisle is so nice compared to what is available with a dinette and sofa.
That floor mattress looks a bit thin for my liking, but there is space there for a much larger one.
Pretty co-pilot.
Good pics. Thanks.
P.S.
I include the following to show everyone how the stock layout leaves a narrow aisle.

Since some people seem to have long memories re: pictures..... Nothing fancy but it works for me. The open floor space also lets me change up the dog crating depending on where I am going and who is traveling with me!
The counter top box I had made to fit over the stove burners and keep "stuff" from falling into the burners and provide sandwich making space. I use the microwave most of the time so the "counter" gets used most of the time and I don't ever see the stove top now...... I velco'ed the dog bone jar and the basket to the counter. Need to keep important things close to hand....so I have been told by my traveling buddies. :roll:
The Induction cook top fits nicely here but the advantage is that I can take it outside and cook outside anytime I want. It uses very little electric.....
The bed that replaced the jack-knife sofa. Much more comfortable. Had mattress made for 32 inches. Wanted to leave as much aisle space as possible but decided not to skimp too much. Measured how much space my legs took up in their usual sleeping position and added a couple of inches for comfort. Also needed it wide enough to take snuggle dogs while reading and watching TV ๐
Better view of the box built under the bed. The water tank takes up part of the space under there but b/c I raised it a couple of inches there is a good 6-8 inches of storage space for extra blankets, pillows, whatever...... All I have to do is raise the mattress up on its edge on the ledge in back and open the lid...much easier to get into and out of than under the couch......
Found the office chair at IKEA, can we say CHEAP, but it raises to accommodate long legs, can be loosened to rock back like a recliner and has a back that comes up just high enough to support my head if I want to kick back. The small computer table just happened to jump out at me when I was a IKEA. It also raises and lowers height to fit different chairs (Like maybe outside in the camp chair). The top can come off to brake down farther if I need to get it out of my way more. I can till carry the other small table I have. Might be useful outside when boondocking. Still thinking about possibilities for a foot rest. Raise the chair and use the bed? Find a small box that can store in the seat of the chair and might provide another storage option. When I see it I will know.....
Looking from the back kitchen area. The floor now has room for the small mattress I had made. Sleeps just fine and the dogs loved having me sleep with them for a change! It reminded me of tent camping and being the one near the tent door. Last one down and first on up........but it worked when we went down to camp and kayak with DD and her significant other.
Looking back from the front...removing the last of the dinette seats really opened up the floor...visually and also actually for my size 12 feet and a few dogs.
The next project: taking out the old TV (the new small one I finally found and ordered will go under the cabinet above the end of the bed) and deciding how best to use this space.....The cabinets that are there waste a bunch of space. It really is deep enough for a small person not afraid of tight spaces to sleep. If nothing else...more storage!!
Herschel, the best co-pilot, waiting to see if he actually gets to go somewhere....or "...what are you doing taking pictures when we could be heading down the road?"
"Well, maybe if I just chill, she will get her act together off we will go....."
