8 - The RV

The RV is fantastic. It’s so nice to be able to have the freedom to stop and relax wherever we fancy.
It’s just above 5 tonnes, 3.8 metres high, 3 metres wide and 7.5 metres long. Fred has never driven anything quite as big but is handling it really well (so far!). It’s an automatic so he finds driving quite enjoyable especially since the seats are so comfortable.
It could sleep 6 people; there’s a bed in the back, one above the cab and one which can be converted from the table and chairs. It seems quite wasteful for just the 2 of us but, honestly, it is the smallest we could get!
The bathroom is a fair size comprising a toilet and shower. The shower is better than some I’ve had in houses! There is a sink and medicine cabinet just outside the bathroom.
The kitchen consists of a sink, a few drawers, 3 hobs, 2 cupboards and a microwave.
There are plenty of overhead cupboards for storage and we’ve filled most of them already.
That leaves only the ‘old man’ chair which Tala quite likes; she alternates between it and one of the dining seats.
The petrol tank holds about 200 litres so costs around 140 Euros and will do almost 1000km which isn’t as bad as we thought it would be.
