In a tent with Dad is a different store though, leave mom and the littles in the camper...

My son is 10,
If Mom joins us I will be in the TV, and they will have the TD. If he brings a friend, then I'm in the TD and they are in the TV.

Two in a tear is cramped enough for us, I added an extra room onto the front for one kid, and will be making a second story that packs away into the front room, for the other three, this spring.
My trailer total length is 15', the body 13', average for larger cars. The width is 6', to allow crosswise sleeping for the kids.

My trailer is a box, not a tear, and I have deliberately kept if flexible. I'm a single mom with 14-yo twins now, and soon they won't want to camp with mom any more. In fact, I can only get dear son to go out with us once a year any more. But I am set up for 3 adult-sized people at this point!

Last year I had a bunk bed for the kids and my old cot next to it. They are just about wall-to-wall, and my old camp cot was higher than the new bunk bed's bottom cot, so it made getting in and out of that bottom bunk difficult. Now we have a single cot of the same design as the bunk bed cots, which puts the two lower sleepers on the same level. True, it's two cots, but they are friendly cots! :lol: Here's last year's set-up (no pictures with the new cot yet)

And here it is set up for just dear daughter and me, with my camp table set up. In practice, the table isn't there for the two of us, we have two camp chairs to help us get dressed and undressed (and read before we got to bed). This is a slouchy, not a standy! 8)
