Newbie from N. IL

Looking forward to starting our retirement adventure in a few years. Recently ordered a Flagstaff 21ds with Murphy bed. Anyone out there have one? Stressing over storage. Hoping we made a wise decision. Thanks in advance for any comments/advice.

Welcome and Congrats from Southern Illinois.

We too have the Murphy Bed / Sofa in our TT and love it.

Don't fret over your storage. This is a "been there, done that" topic with all of us when we were newbies. Overpacking is probably the number one neurotic thing we all have done, and the most guilty of, before realizing we didn't need to pack all of "the stuff", of which we thought we needed. After a couple camping trips under your belt you will have mastered the art of how to become creatively ingenious with your storage and deciphering between your needs and wants in packing / stocking your TT.

Most of all while you're figuring it out.

Welcome from NW Illinois. Storage was our big concern but we found a location fairly quickly.
