    For the middle gap in the bed, you could totally install a hinged flap to cover the space. So you have options to spread out completely and make it out as a sleeping/bedding platform if you wish to.
    Another option once you have that gap closed and leveled as a full platform is to have a small "floor" sitting area. Throw a light rug or tapestry, some flat cushions, maybe a low table and it will make a nice space for tea or seated meditation!

    Hi Alexandria, you mentioned no more fulltime car or van life after quarantine is lifted. I can’t wait to see what other content you have in store! 😊 I’ve been watching you for a while now and it’s nice to watch your videos; regardless, if your going to continue living in your car/van. Sending lots of love and positivity your way! 😊💖🌸🌷

    To be honest, I mostly stopped watching when you moved into the Civic and was overjoyed to see this Back in the Van video pop up. Then I was disheartened all over again when you said you were transitioning out of vanlife. You were the first vehicle living channel I stumbled on way back in your Liberty days and it opened my eyes to a whole new world. Initially, my reaction was that I wouldn’t be a viewer anymore with your vanlife ending but after some reflection, I realized it’s not just your vanlife that we’re here for, it’s your entire journey, and getting to see your life grow and change is a privilege we’re lucky enough you want to share with us. So thank-you for everything and I can’t wait to see what’s next for you.

    Had you thought of using a removable wooden cutout between the 2 beds? Like, in the event you actually want to sleep directly next to that person. I realize with part time vanlifing, not such a big deal anymore, but for those stuck in it with no where else to go, seems like having a removable piece between the 2 beds, you could still have the same functionalities of the desk and separate beds and cooking area with the added function of being able to have a full on queen bed if you choose to, which on a separate note, I know I recommended it in a past videos comment section, Teton sports mammoth deer hunter bag rated for negative 35 degrees! They make one that can fit 2 people and it’s huge. I seriously can’t recommend it enough. But that being said, lookin forward to the future content even if it’s not fully van life related lol

    With all the $$$ you save on rent ...ya can invest in gold bricks . ( store in hiding spot in van. Ha ! )
    Windows may get cold so some styrofoam glued to % of side windows ???
    It's a mansion compared to the Honda.
    God bless and stay safe and healthy.
    ( banana /oranges potatoes boil ..cut small /salt / pot lid and it does not take much water or time to cook up...carrot green peas in can ..sunflower seeds...seal bag to keep fresh....scramble eggs...olive oil is best...only use medium heat with oil...too hot & oil smokes and then it's unhealthy. Sardines in can...10 grain bread...) your a very positive girl Keep it up. ( inspirational story Life without Limbs Nick Vujicic )
