[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 737856, member: 18958"] Lil. You got positively giddy in your post about the rv. I hope very much you get one. We have two compact old but serviceable pickup trucks. One is extra. Sometime back I saw that people (probably very young and agile ones) are turning compact short bed trucks into campers by putting in a sleeping platform with drawers for storage underneath and a pull out kitchen in a drawer. I can think of all kinds of problems with this, beginning with claustrophobia, to insulation, heat, cold, place for the pets, place for a porta potty. And that is just to start. But somebody did say that he put a porta potty, kitchen and dining table in a small pull trailer on the back, no bigger than the ones that cost a couple hundred dollars on craigslist, that the landscapers use. The more I type, the more jazzed I get. But the thing is...the basic, fundamental thing...is that people have RVS to be comfortable. I am unsure how much of an upgrade this concept is, from sleeping in a tent. I guess the idea is that you do not have to set anything up. I will put aside the nagging doubt that I could even climb in and out of such a contraption. But like SWOTS husband, M is handy. I just asked him if he could make us a bigger camper, as in diy. He said no. However, M says we can try the camper shell concept. We have a camper shell in the side yard so it would cost virtually nothing to get started. I will try to put aside the reality that my head will be about 2 inches from the top of the camper shell. I am remembering that I get claustrophobia when I get a c t scan and mri and need drugs first. This is not computing well with the reality I have stopped the xanex because it causes dementia. I do not know what his problem is. M. There is the money for an older RV. People also convert gmc safari type vancs to camp. Even without raised ceilings. I have been researching this for years and years. Sad. [/QUOTE]
