Where do your kids sleep???
(Preview)
We're looking at 5th wheels and are thinking of just putting our 2yr old on the couch in the living room. We looked at bunkhouses, but they take up so much of the most used living space. We're feeling slightly guilty about not giving her her own space. Where do your kids sleep?
