My family and I really enjoyed spending time in this RV which we used both as an "apartment" for me and as a family getaway since it was so close to the beach. I will never forget how it felt spending nights there in all seasons and in good and bad weather. From that time til now I remain a fan of tiny spaces. Your space is right on point!
