I found an interesting article<\/a> today about what makes an RV liveable. The author lists twelve items. Of those, four are items that I loved about Miranda from the get-go, two are things I was able to change, and three are things I’ve been hankering to change. That means that nine of the twelve items applied to me. I’d say the article was pretty relevant!<\/p>\n

The four items I loved are:<\/p>\n

1) Separate vanity and toilet (#8);<\/p>\n

2) An accessible toilet (#10);<\/p>\n

3) Real doors (#11);<\/p>\n

4) Lots of windows (#12). I recently saw a class C that had no window in the back. I can’t imagine not having my great view… even if it means a chillier room in the winter!<\/p>\n

The two things I was able to change:<\/p>\n

1) Easy to maintain floors (#1). Miranda had hardwood in some places and carpet in the rest. I replaced the carpet with vinyl. The combination of the two is easy to upkeep;<\/p>\n

2) A dedicated workspace (#7). I was lucky to be able to convert a whole room<\/em> into a computer space.<\/p>\n

The three things I’ve been hankering to change:<\/p>\n

1) Adding a counter extension (#4), but the only place to put one would interfere with the drawers, so that will probably never happen;<\/p>\n

2) The wardrobe<\/a> (#6);<\/p>\n

3) The pantry (#9); improving my food storage is my number two priority after figuring out what to do with all my clothes.<\/p>\n

The three items that weren’t relevant to me:<\/p>\n

1) A re-configurable dining area (#2) since I find the dinette<\/a> useful (which is good because it’s not removable!);<\/p>\n

2) An island style bed (#3) since I live alone and all I want is an unobstrusive flat place to sleep, so the loft makes me happy;<\/p>\n

3) An adjustable television set (#5) since I don’t own a tv. I did have a lapse in judgement when I thought “Gee, I should get one since most parks include cable in their free hookups” and then I remembered that I didn’t watch tv most of the year I had free cable included in my rent AND that the reason I gave away my television was that I hadn’t turned it on in over eighteen months and was sick of dusting it AND where, praytell, would I store such an item?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
