It Will Be Different This Time

Normally when we have guests camping with us, they generally opt to sleep in the bunk room, which, believe it or not is quite roomy. It gives them their own privacy and space.
But we do have a pullout bed in the living room/kitchen area, and this time our guests who have stayed with us before have opted to sleep there instead.
Of course, that makes things a little different since it's the main area of the camper, and so there's more tiptoeing required. Two of us, myself and my wife's cousin's wife are early risers, but Larry likes to sleep in a bit.
But no worries. I will set up the bunk room as a makeshift morning space, including putting the Keurig and a few cups in there. I can also make a little space to put my tablet and get some work done in there.
It will be different, but hey, I guess even if we are camping in what might be considered a bit of a luxury camper, we have to at least rough it a little bit.

@porwest A person could actually live in it full-time.

@BarBaraPrz You sure could. Although, for full timing it, I'd probably want a 5th wheel. Much bigger inside.

That just sounds like having guests anywhere lol. When we had guests for our wedding we had people in most rooms and most of our friends sleep later than we do. It was tricky but fun.

It actually sounds rather cozy and a great way to sort of get away.

Moving the Keurig to the bunk room sounds like a good idea for you morning people. I certainly would be cranky if people were sleeping and I couldn't get into the kitchen area to get my coffee

Yeah, at first I thought the bunk room wouldn't serve much purpose. But over time it's been a great place to use for storage when we don't have company, and to serve as a changing room since it's harder to maneuver in the bedroom which has less space. Plus, when guests want to use it, that's handy too. Can't imagine not having it now.

I like my privacy and will have to adjust when my husband's cousin and Godchild and the Godchild's son come to stay with me. Fortunately it will only be for a weekend.
