Convertible dinette. Table can be split to use the square piece as an outdoor table and shift the rounded piece against the wall. Also visible is the fold-up butcher block counter extension, which can - of course - also be dropped for ease of entry on the left side. In the cupboard in the center are the pots and pans (visible in photo below). Above it, we use a plastic bag for recycling; shelves each sides, and white & green nets we use for produce. Blue and red pillows can be used outdoors.. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012
With the fold-up butcher block countertop extension raised, the induction cooktop "burner" can be securely set up immediately to the right of the kitchen sink and plugged in above the sink.. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012

Microwave on top, Dometic gas/12v fridge (auto switches, so can be run on propane while boondocking). We store a few tidbits next to the water pump below the fridge.

On the left, we hung a shoe rack and put shower caps in the bottom pockets to store shoes without getting dirt all over. We also use this to store some clothes or other items we want to have easily on hand from the main galley area.. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012
32" TV with Google Chrome device can be swiveled out to face the dinette. Below it is a Jensen radio/amplifier with A/B options for speakers inside &/or outside. (Its DVD doesn't work, however, we can offer by request a stand-alone DVD/CD player that ties into the system.) TV can be plugged into a 3.5mm headphone jack to amplify the sound, and we offer a Bluetooth adapter for that port as well so you can cast your tunes! Clip-on USB plugin fan has battery & can be moved to act as a ceiling fan.. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012

Queen bed (we provide mattress protector, linens, comforter, & pillows/cases)

We prefer it REALLY Dark & as Cool as possible in here, so 3 light control layers:
1. Reflectix in contact w/ the window
2. built-in pull-down blinds
3. IKEA cellular blinds (dark blue)

On the back wall are 7 approx. 20" deep plastic storage bins w/ hinged tops & handles. These can be popped out & back in as needed.

(Not visible:
- 120V outlet w/ USB ports to R of pillows
- bladeless heater/fan behind far L pillows). Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012
Steps (carpeted) leading to the bedroom. Smoke detector is on the right wall here.. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012

We often use on-site showers at camping sites, so use our trailer's shower to store things like the 5-gallon water jug we provide filled with drinking water and often our clothes or food bags we want handy.. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012
Window on left of the dinette has a hook on which one can hang items that aren't heavy. (We actually hang our bananas on here or a small candle lantern.) On the base of the hook, the tennis racket thing is actually an electric fly swatter that uses batteries (provided). Above the valance on top of the window, we Velcro'ed a bunch of koozies for easy access.. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012
(Upon request) we can provide a hiker's cot the fits neatly in the galley. (No bedding provided.). Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012
Under the dinette is an outlet. Also visible are the post bases which allow either a small half-moon table, a square table, or both together. (The square section can also be used as outdoor table with one of the posts and a "tripod" base (provided upon request).. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012
Magnetic door screen when closed. It seals well, though it is frail and can be a bit finicky.

On the left, under the bench seat, are stored all additional cooking appliances (photo below):
- toaster oven
- induction cooktop
- sandwich press/electric grill
- small rice cooker
- single cup coffee machine

To the right is the extendable dog barrier. Once the door screen is closed, it can be unrolled from the right and hooked on the the white lip on the left door jam (photo below).

The WiFi thermometer (additional charge) allows remote monitoring of the inside temperature of the trailer as long as there is internet access working. This is recommended when we get triple-digit or near heat and you want to leave your dogs when you venture out. With this, if the power does fail and the A/C stops working, the battery-supported WiFi will allow this thermometer to alert you if the temperature starts rising.. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012

You can really appreciate the spacious pass-through storage in this photo! Similar portals on both sides allow all kinds of items to be stored easily and safely secured!. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012
You can see some of the V shape towards the front hitch that gives this compact trailer a bit more interior space. The small door under the window houses the standard 20 pound propane tank, which is secured by a metal strap and buckle with a small lock on it to prevent potential theft.. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012
The outdoor fold-down table is now mounted under that front window.. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012
2 gas burners, kitchen tools behind, 3 knife storage in front of the window handle. On the wall is the lighter and a washing glove (next to the water pump button that's not to be activated unless boondocking). We usually use our induction burner to the right of the sink, so the oven glove is on the kitchen spigot. Below is, though a cutting board, we ask you use a cutting "sheet" on top of it. Below that is a dish brush and small bottle of detergent. You can see the kitchen stopper as well.. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012

Under the kitchen sink are cleaning supplies (rear), plastic bin that can be angled out to serve as a pantry or other storage, and bag holder that serves as primary trash bag (can be hung on outside of door, or inside as shown to keep away from our dogs getting into it). We can also provide large collapsible waste baskets that can be secured and used outdoors (you provide garbage bags).. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012
Closeup of entertainment center. With a small external Bluetooth receiver, you can cast tunes from your own device (or stream via WiFi if there's good internet signal). Just fixed the DVD/CD player, and the radio has good reception. Can even play the TV's sound with the provided cable!. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012

Steps (carpeted) leading to the bedroom can be swung down to access the pass-through storage under the bed. We use this spot as a good place to put the cooler we provide with 2 bags of ice so it's still somewhat accessible without having to go outside.. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012

Hiker's cot (available upon request) can be shifted towards the dinette bed to allow access to the bathroom.. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012
Screen door was missing, so we added a magnetic door screen. Works well, if less convenient than the original.

At the base of the door, we added a barrier to help seal the door from the elements. It does add a bit of a lip you have to step over. On the external stair, we have a carpet that fits over the step, and on the inside of the door you can see the welcome mat that's easy to pick up and shake out to keep things tidy inside.. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012
This is what it looks like when the magnetic door screen is closed and the dog barrier is rolled out from the right and hooked onto the metal white lip on the left. Our dogs (50 lbs each, so not tiny) respect it and try to look out from below it. Works well, though can take a bit of getting used to attaching it correctly.

On the far right, you can see the standing heater with modest cool air fan. Just beyond that are the stairs to the bedroom.. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012
Dometic AC with "soft start" controller can be run on just 15Amps!

Flexible unit can work in fan-only mode at speeds low-med-high, or pump out chilled air as set on the right at those same speeds. To be honest, it's not quiet, but it's a necessary evil in our state if you want to camp during the best vacation seasons. (Heater does not currently work on this device.)

Air flow is controlled by opening or closing the vents on the 4 sides or using the slider below the knobs to direct air down.. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012
Fold-down table is great for cooking outdoors! Here it's stored folded up and locked.. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012
The outdoor table has a built-in LED light that can turned on when folded down. Perfect for night use!. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012

2 camper chairs like this one are included at no extra charge!. Forest River V-Cross Vibe 2012
