Heat, Tired!

This heat just makes me so tired.  We spent the day in Springfield Missouri today.  We had a recall on a small electronic part for our motorhome that we needed to get taken care of before we left on our trip and that was where we needed to take it to get it fixed.  It is about a 3 hour drive from us so we spent the day.  The courtesy van took us to the Bass Pro Shop and we ate lunch there and wandered around a bit and timed it just right for calling for our ride back to the shop – when the van dropped us off at the time we were told the camper was ready it was!  How nice was that.

I have had several e mails from some of you ladies wanting to know what kind of camper we have and how small is it that I don’t bring a sewing machine and more stuff along with us.  We have a 2008 Navion IQ from Winnebago.  The floor plan we have is no longer being made for some reason – I don’t know why we thought it looked much more comfortable than the one they are staying with now.

Here is a link to the floor plan we have is the 24CL plan.  Yes the other floor plan has a rear slide with a bed.  The bed though is not a regular bed either though as if folds to a couch in the daytime.  The bench seats in the front were not comfortable and very narrow for sitting and do not recline.  The wardrobe was smaller than the one in ours and it had very few over head cabinets.  All in all we are very satisfied with ours for the amount of time that we travel.  Now if you lived in it for half a year or so it would be way too small.

We do spend a lot of time outside and mainly use it 1- for sleeping (we made the bed more comfortable by using memory foam – I cut it in 3 pieces to fit the bed, roll them up like sleeping bags when not in use and strap them tight – store under the table when traveling – the leg of the table keeps them under it.  If we do not have the bed made up until night then we store the memory foam behind the drivers seat and passenger seat as there is a bit of room there to store things when not driving. 2- the bathroom! yes the bathroom is small but we extended the size of the shower by taking out the shower door and installing a curved shower rod instead also if the campground has clean showers we use theirs instead as they are usually roomier – we use shower shoes because the floors don’t always look the greatest but if the water is faster and more room to move – why not!  and 3-for cooking.

The price in the link above is well over what we paid – end of the year models were going out and next years were coming in.  There is a video on that link above also that shows what the inside of it looks like and also a virtual tour.  In the tour you see all of the overhead cabinets that are above the dinette (which is a small queen, by that I mean it is in between queen and double) also more cabinet space above the third chair.  The tv swivels out when it is used, when it isn’t it goes right up against the wall.

Have fun looking at it.   Now you see why I say I don’t bring a sewing machine and I am careful about what we pack
