[Rhodes22-list] A final question on the Rhodes 22

[Gardner, Douglas (LNG-DAY)]

We do have some pictures of a v-berth extension on the photo website, in
case you are curious how such a thing might work!

Check out Bill and Sandy Gallant's v-berth extension on the Tech page:

Specifically, you'll want to see:

It doesn't show the cushion, but I'm sure you can imagine that.

FWIW, my wife really LOVES sleeping in the v-berth.  She's 5'0".

I prefer sleeping on the dinette/bed.  Lots of room there.

Bary,
I know of a couple that lived on a R22 for 7 months. Granted, they were
very 
good friends considering they were married, but they managed. In order to  
get enough room for both to sleep comfortably, they extended the V berth
with an 
 additional support board which went over the top of the conventional 
porta-potti  head area and all the across. They made a cushion for this
extension and 
with  the pop top enclosure, they were snug as bugs in a rug.
My wife and I don't like the confines of the cabin. We use the cockpit fill

in cushions and make our bed in the cockpit. Much more room and the stars
are  
fantastic. That way we don't have to move the potty and the cabin can be
used 
in  the morning without disturbing the other person. Nothing worse than 
sleeping  with your head directly over the head.
 
Rummy
