Finding comfortable chairs and a place to store them is one of the Holy Grails of Class B RVing. I've gone through at least four sets of chairs of all kind. Currently we have been traveling with the very compact Xpress lounger chairs that fold up to the size of a pizza box and can be conveniently stored just about anywhere. The problem is they are not that large and you can only sit upright in them. In other words you can't relax. I had always been envious of the larger RVs when they got their bulky comfortable chairs out like the zero gravity loungers. Where to store them? Then in a Cabelas I saw one on sale for $39. I succumbed. I assumed I would be able to carry only one inconveniently inside the B and it would be in the way on rainy inside days. I bought it anyway.
I got to experimenting and discovered in my Great West Van Legend that there was just enough gap space between the sofa and rear doors to store it upright without taking out any existing storage space I was using. I realized that when the sofa was lowered into a bed that the chair acted as a bed headboard. My pillow previously had tended to slip over the edge into that gap. The bonus. Two will fit so I am going to buy a second one.
Zero gravity lounger chair - 20" wide Timber Crest model from Cabelas.

Zero gravity chair stored behind sofa where you barely see it.

Now that I like. I have one that I got some time ago and never have taken it with me. Definitely going to the B-Rally in May.

You had to mention mice didn't you!! I haven't seen any telltale signs, plus I have been using my unit off and on all winter. Since the weather is starting to get nicer I think it is time to head out tomorrow and give it a good going over to check all the nooks and crannies to make sure that none of the little critters found their way in.
I HATE MICE!!!

I ran the diesel engine and propane generator to keep them happy. We discovered that a field mouse had been partying in the two lower drawers next to the fridge. First time for that. I guess the 'green' winter kept our furry friend in good spirits. Hmm. Where did he/she get into the PW Plateau TS.Under the sink area? THey are said to crawl up a tire and find an opening then go in and party. If this sunshine continues it will be RV time again. We can take the mouse.Holly the Coton de Tulear likes hide and seek!!

Mice are nice. As a descendent from the Vikings of Normandy(9th century), I wonder if mice-like creatures found their way into stewpots. I am a Perry(real name),(Norman) actually. We are off "wandering" too with our PW Plateau TS, mice or no mice. Cheers.

We also added a hook on the same wall to hang our window washing squeegie. Now the squeegie can drip without getting other things wet.

One problem which I have not resolved, is how to undo the grub screw which holds the fan blade to the shaft, from the inside of the RV. My 3/32" Allen Key is barely long enough to reach, let alone turn. Aside from that, one cannot see what one is doing, it has to be done by feeling. It would be nice to have the ability to remove and clean the fan blade while travelling without having to climb on the roof. Has anyone solved this problem?
