I have been RVing for many years and always take my sewing machine with me. I don't find any problem with the sewing machine and where to put it, what I do have problem with is when I am doing the piecing where do I put every little piece and I have found that the bed is the best place. I keep everything in Tote boxes and keep them in an orderly manner under the bed. You might also find that you are to busy socializing to do much sewing. Enjoy.
