Cloud Nine

A few years back I got the RV bug. Not sure how it happened. I surprised even myself by buying a little trailer which could be pulled by my Suzuki SUV. It is fourteen feet long and weighs just under 2,000 lbs. I named it Cloud Nine. It sits parked behind the fence in my side yard when it is not out roaming around, which is most of the time. Lately I have been getting the itch to take her camping again. So here is a little tour to help me get motivated.

I had the seat cushions redone with denim and  red and yellow flower pattern and created throw pillows to match. I also bought  a couple of pieces of high density foam to form the center cushion and bolster. When  the bolster is laid down it becomes the width of a twin bed. That's where I sleep, usually on a sleeping bag or a bedroll that can be stored underneath during the day. I like my US map attached to the underside of the bunk which is in the folded up position in this picture. The bunk folds down as you can see below.


When the bunk is lowered a person can sleep up there if they aren't scared of falling off!
Here is my kitchen with a two burner propane stove top, a little sink, and a microwave in the upper cabinet. The larger door there is the bathroom with a potty and shower all in one. I mostly use the campground facilities but it sure is nice to have a tiny "loo"  at night or when the weather is bad.


 My little fridge has a freezer and makes ice.

I set up my table for eating and writing etc.
 I like all the storage. There is a small closet for hanging clothes in the lower left corner of the picture above.  the other two closets have shelves where I keep dishes, towels, and all kinds of stuff! Four drawers and a vanity mirror seem like luxuries when camping.
Now that you have toured my camper, where do you think I should go in it?

  1. So I have a little RV in my back yard. Could we round them up at a nearby campground near water and drink wine and commune with nature?
