[A/S] Airstreaming with an 18 month old baby



We will soon be introducing our son, his wife, and our 18 month old 
grandaughter to the delights of Airstreaming. They will have sole use of our 
1988 25ft Excella with the rear double bed, centre bath, and we will stay in 
one fixed campground. We will be in a tent nearby, so any appliance problems 
will be sorted by me. The one aspect where I would appreciate the benefits 
of the groups experiences is with sleeping arrangements. Emma, the baby, 
will be in bed by 7.30 p.m. Various possibilities spring to mind. We could 
purchase a travelling crib, and she could sleep on the double bed, with 
parents using the sofa bed. We are 900 miles from the trailer, so we can't 
experiment. I wonder if there is enough space on the vanity to rest a crib, 
so that the parents don't have to make up the sofa bed each night. Is there 
enough space on the floor beside the rear bed to make up a sleeping area? 
Probably too narrow, from memory, as this is not a wide-bodied model. It 
would be good if the parents could use the full-time double. I would be 
grateful for your advice. Thanks, from Nick.
