Most models, even the shortest ones (24 feet) have the option of sleeping in the overcab bed or in a comfortable pull out bed on the ground floor.<br /><br />JT on the WGS list has a 24-footer, and she can tell you all about how she uses it. She formerly had a dog about Lady's size that traveled with her.<br /><br />Her model is the same one that we had for ten years, so I am fairly familiar with it. We have a different floorplan now, and like our second Lazy Daze even more than the first.<br /><br />In between the two, we fulltimed for eight years in a 40-foot Mountain Aire diesel pusher. Now THAT was a job and a half!<br /><br />Judie Ashfordjudilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640947046484366376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785311472371282139.post-14559113631227677372011-01-06T00:38:15.754-05:002011-01-06T00:38:15.754-05:00Hi Gypsy.
I'm sure you will be feeling heaps ...Hi Gypsy.<br /><br />I'm sure you will be feeling heaps better about everything before long. You are generally optimistic and you've had many changes, some health issues, your eyes, painful back injury and the big trip to Florida recently with all the attending sadness.<br /><br />These things take a greater toll on our bodies and minds than we sometimes realise.<br /><br />You're a very spunky woman with a positive attitude to life so hang in there and I'm sure you'll soon be on your way to another dream trip. You haven't met your Waterloo yet.<br /><br />Blessings.MargieAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591436464085450834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785311472371282139.post-7874285488688939752011-01-05T23:03:25.257-05:002011-01-05T23:03:25.257-05:00Gypsy, if you sell the truck/camper and get a Clas...Gypsy, if you sell the truck/camper and get a Class C, you will know for sure you have the right rig. Making a decision and then changing your mind is sometimes the path to the best end. (Been there, done that. It's tough, but in the end you KNOW you're doing the right thing.) Your experiences might also be a good example for some of us who haven't gotten our RVs yet. The small Class C for a solo woman is sounding better and better to me!<br /><br />Keep your spirits up, you'll end up in the right rig, rolling down the road with Lady. Happy as a clam. But wait until you feel better and maybe go on another short trip before you decide.<br /><br />We're all with you. :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785311472371282139.post-61239029955445460932011-01-05T21:24:08.618-05:002011-01-05T21:24:08.618-05:00I hope you get to feeling better.

From now on I would go to a fill place for LP and let them do it! That's what I do sometime. I can get the tanks off and take to get filled with no problem,but I can't lift them back up in the rig, so I have to ask for help. There is always someone willing to help me.

I use the bed over cab area for storage of things that I don't use often. With all the other sleep choices, I have never tried sleeping up there. We traveled with four small dogs (three now). I am sure you can find a Class-C the size and with the amentities that fit your needs. I also pull a Jeep Liberty behind the RV so that I have spare transportation.

Giving yourself time to heal and consider your future travel plans is a wonderful gift to yourself. <br /><br />Your story is a powerful reminder that one size does not fit all in the RVing world. (Despite what some self-proclaimed "experts" might think.) May you find the perfect fit for you when the time is right. <br /><br />Take care, my friend!Paul and Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236102580496167796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785311472371282139.post-64279150648093366222011-01-05T18:18:07.511-05:002011-01-05T18:18:07.511-05:00Don't feel bad Gypsy, we listened to the 5ver ...Don't feel bad Gypsy, we listened to the 5ver people as well & it just wasn't the right choice for our particular situation. We've had 2 Class C's & would consider another one some day if it was just the 2 of us & no critters. I do my best to stay away from all medications if possible & do not like that wasted Zombie feeling that comes with heavy duty pain pills.

But it was better than nothing. <br />Other times I have just taken my coffee in a Thermos, and drank it in the parking lot, as soon as the vampires were through with me.<br /><br />You must have really come a cropper with that propane tank!! Lots of extra Vit. D will help you heal a lot faster, and will lessen the pain. Maybe a visit to a recommended chiropractor? I surely do wish you a speedy recovery.<br /><br />I like the truck campers as the bed is easier to get in and out of than the cabover bed in a Class C, but there are so many steps to get up into a truck camper, and that probably didn't help your painful back any. This may have contributed to your negative attitude towards your truck camper.<br /><br />As you won't be full-timing again, may I suggest a B+. Those are the sleeker looking C's without the cabover bed. (Like the Chinooks) You're not going to climb up there to go to bed anyway.<br />A regular B has the awkward little van steps on the side, so I prefer a real RV door and a regular step.<br /><br />Best wishes for good results of the bloodwork.<br /><br />Just my tuppence, Penny, TXLakeConroePenny,TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260039376684295639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785311472371282139.post-6944109961721576732011-01-05T16:30:30.229-05:002011-01-05T16:30:30.229-05:00The good news is that by the time you get ready to...The good news is that by the time you get ready to travel your lower spine (tailbone) should be feeling at least 90% better. And I understand how you feel about the pain meds. I took one when I broke my ankle and I said that's enough. But I had them, just in case it got too bad. Now is not the time to make decisions about any camper. When you don't feel good, nothing is right. So we'll just put that off for awhile and think about it later. January is always a let down as families return to their normal lives and winter sets in and it's just blah. So just let it go for now.
