Life in the RV.

I decided that it might be a good time to describe how 11 people are able to sleep, eat, and shower in an RV designed to sleep maybe 6. (2 queen beds and 2 single beds (actually tables that turn into beds))

Sleeping. In the beginning we were getting along just perfectly with only 6 riders and 3 drivers because we always had 3 people in the pPrius. That meant that the 6 sleeping spots were occupied. Then we added two more riders, but it was still ok because we did large shifts of 4 or 3 riders. Now, we are doing teams of two in the Prius, so we have 9 people trying to sleep in 6 spots. We are sleeping in shifts just as we are riding in shifts... this makes it a bit difficult to get a decent amount of sleep, but we are managing pretty well.

Eating. Every day or 2 days we have gone grocery shopping. Loaded up with bagels, bread, turkey, pb and j, pretzels, chips, oatmeal, apples, tangerines, bananas, etc. The food is stored in the small fridge aboard and in 2 coolers. Everyone is eating like hogs at all times because thats what one does when they arent riding or sleeping. It's just understood to be that way.

Shower. We have a limited amount of water aboard our RV so when one showers it is rare and a good idea to wash your clothes while you are at it. The past shower I took I just jumped in with my riding clothes on to wash them. It worked great.

That's a snapshot of life for 11 aboard an RV maxed for 6.
