After 10 months on the road, we finally took the plunge and did some remodeling. Well, I watched and Allen did his thing. First, we made Lizzy an official bedroom in the den/kid room/Playstation room/the room that wasn't being utilized enough to be in the RV. So he took out the couch and shelves that were being wasted behind it and built a bed frame. Now she has a great space that doesn't have to be converted to a bed and doesn't store junk. Paint and curtains to come later.
Then Allen & the kids surprised me with phase II of our remodel and removed a wall and stairs. (They even took the pics they knew I'd want! Though honestly, I'd have closed the door to hide the other mess.) The wall was decorative (and heavy) and while we liked it, we'd rather have extra space in our living room. We replaced those with a bench, which provides extra seating, storage inside, and lets us still get upstairs to the boy's loft. They also have a ladder in Lizzy's room. We love it now! As does the dog. :) We'll decorate the wall now. Still thinking about painting. 
So now it's much better for this fulltime RVing family!

I can't wait to see how Lizzy continues to decorate her room.
I love following other FOTR....so I am going to 'follow' you. If you get a chance, stop in and see us too!
We are actually not on the road at this very moment (very rare) but we usually are and are HS'ing with two kiddos. We miss being out in our RV SO badly when we are at our 'stick' house. The road just calls. Love to have other families to relate to!
(: Come by if you can!

Having that room for the kids makes such a huge difference. I really think that it just a huge difference to everyone's sanity to have that bit of 'space'.
And getting rid of anything heavy is good -- fuel costs way too much!
