They certainly made themselves right at home, didn't they? So cute.

This is where we had planned for them to make "make their own"....

...but this is where they spend most their time.

We are thinking of having a custom gate (wire form like seen on dog crates) made around the bottom bunk, so that we don't have to worry about them if we're loading/unloading or if we have guests that don't appreciate them, etc... we'll see.

Here they are at their first RV Park...

They're very good travelers... they've been doing long trips with us in our Honda Element -car camping and tent camping, for years. They love going where we go... this will actually free us up to experience the INSIDES of buildings/points of interests easier.. as leaving them in a car isn't a good option most the time.

Hi Sandi... the flooring was one of the big selling points for me- so beautiful and no carpet! The look would match anything if I decided to change the cushions/fabrics. It looks like wood but it's some sort of "upgraded linoleum".

Here's a link about my rig: http://www.coachmenrv.com/products/free ... e=features

Wow! I will search for the images! Hazen (white) was born deaf and he varies between 12-14lbs. Mike is the true bIGGY he's at 18lbs! But he's all muscle and lean- not big due to overweight.
