      It shows the level of respect he has for his wife. He knows her comfort is as valuable as his.
      We also learn as we get older that just because a certain way “feels comfortable” today doesn’t mean it will feel the same on our body tomorrow. Maybe today our knees ache and tomorrow it’s our back…. 😑😂

    I have to admit, when you bought this truck and I listened to your plan for it, I was beyond skeptical. With each video my skepticism started to fade.

    SUGGESTION: build or find a folding footstool to support the center section of the bed to stop it from sagging. Simply place it beneath as a support. It would serve a dual purpose too. You also could create a padded footstool that supports the center section. It might be a nice addition when the dining table is folded and you want to stretch out your legs.
    Thanks for sharing your lives and faith with us. We enjoy your projects and positive attitude.

    You are doing a great job on building that camper using such good problem-solving skills Bill. Elizabeth was right when she called your travel trailer an RV. Here is one of many explanations I found:
    “A recreational vehicle, often abbreviated as RV, is a motor vehicle or trailer that includes living quarters designed for accommodation. Types of RVs include motorhomes, campervans, coaches, caravans (also known as travel trailers and campers), fifth-wheel trailers, popup campers, and truck campers.”

    • @LiveSimpleLiveFree
      @LiveSimpleLiveFree  Месяц назад +1

      Yes, our travel trailer was an RV. I didn't "correct" her because I didn't think it was an RV. I said, "you mean our travel trailer" so people would know she was talking about the trailer and not our current box truck RV.

The only thing I would add would be a longer tension rod from side to side with a curtain that would keep Beth from having lights in her face if Bill is up and at his computer desk. Just a thought but having traveled and lived in a motor home for 3 years with my husband and toddler that would be a great addition.

    Thinking more of a cotton quilted topper to protect the cushions from sweat etc and help extend their life, rather than a foam one for comfort. Just a suggestion, you must do what you feel works best for you both. Happy travels!

      We will be using sleeping bags on the bed. We will either be in or, or on top of it, depending on the temperature.

    Hopefully the 1/2 inch will give you cracking warning. Overall, excellent job Bill, takes a lot of courage to endeavor in such project.
