Hi Pamela! We don't seem to take many pics of our site when we're set up, but we'll try to answer your questions.
Our
Scamp 13 has the sofa/bunks in the front, which we are keeping for our grandsons when they are old enough to join us on camping trips. Since the rear dinette is a full-time bed, we use 1 or 2 small folding tables while sitting on the couch; tables also double as laptop 'desks'.
I cook outside about half the time - especially stuff whose 'aromas' we don't want in the trailer! When using the trailer cooktop, I put a large plastic cutting board up as a backsplash to protect the 'rat fur' from getting soiled and/or smelly. This has worked well so far but I've bookmarked an earlier posting from Donna D about some flexible material that looks like 'diamond plate' and would like to install that behind the entire counter.
We don't have an
awning - one of those 'someday' items. If it is hot, we follow the shade of on-site trees or else stay in the shadow of the Egg. When we boondock, we set up a 4x4 ft. "privacy cabana" as our shower room and use a Coleman battery-operated pump - works amazingly well, not too heavy and stows in a small space. Note: the frame of our cabana will not support the
weight of a 'solar shower' bag - we put the pump in a large pan of water warmed on the stove.
Da Dog - Minnie, our little Dachuahua, weighs between 15 & 16 pounds, depending on how many other campers bring her Milk Bones! She's the perfect size to travel in a FGRV! In fact, she seems to think our
Scamp is an over-sized crate in which WE are allowed to sleep!
We wish you happy hunting in your search for the Egg just-right-for-you. You won't regret you choice of a FGRV.
Take care, L 'n D
