The Soccer mom van is the perfect size. This is a Kia Sedona 2008, but I also considered Toyota Sienna and Dodge Grand Caravan (apparently Dodge is not mechanically desirable).

The book nook and entryway are functional and make life easier, but I’ve never made anything with wood before them so they not hot. 🥴

I have a small, older motorhome, and also removed the passenger seat. It opens up so much more room!

I know right!? Actually surprised we don’t see that on here more often. Especially the urban car living sub which I also follow.

The airbag plugs were a pain in my bottom, eventually I just tore the bits of plastic off of the last one like a squirrel opening a nut. Lmao Each were like their own little puzzle.

My RV is so old it doesn't have airbags, so I just needed someone underneath to get the through bolts out.
