AZ Layout & Bed Frame with Storage

I’ve been thinking about how exactly I want to arrange my household furniture in the trailer, and I went back into design mode.  Household furniture is large by RV standards, so it’s a bit awkward.  I’m pretty happy with the design I’ve come up with, including a new bed frame / storage solution I’m going to be building early next week.

Noise – My Achilles Heel

My biggest fear about the AZ trip, and the whole transition to RV life in general is about noise.  It may sound silly to most people, but I am very noise adverse.  I’ve built a lot of things in my life around avoiding noise, and as such I’ve built a very comfortable place for myself.  Exceedingly quiet townhouse in a quiet part of town, driving a quiet luxury car, working from home so I don’t have to deal with traffic or people at the office.  All very quiet.  There are many parts about travel that are not quiet at all.
