A full size futon bed and room for hand sewing , not a sewing machine. It does carry our bikes and inflatable kayak. It’s just fine for us but when it’s cold or I’m missing my sewing machine I look longingly at those big RVs. If it’s raining we just go somewhere else.
Been there done that, tent camping, car camping and van camping in an old Chevy van. Twenty-five is pretty small but I call ours the traveling money pit. We are building and changing things to make it so we can boondock. It also seems there is always stuff that needs to be fixed. Thankfully hubby is pretty handy. Once we figure out the retire thing, he will be 65 soon, we hope to do some more traveling.
