John and Evelyn Culver are full time RVers who travel in a very nice 2003 Monaco Windsor.

As you can see by the stained glass, John served our country proudly as a Marine Corps Officer! This fabulous desk was designed by John and Evelyn and constructed by Mr. Tom Bradley (you can email him here
marisco12@cox.net ) Several engineering problems had to be overcome in order to make this desk the marvel that it is.

They had to route the heater vent under the desk and out the left pedestal.

Since electronic equipment is stored and running in the left pedestal of the desk, a fan was installed as well as a ventilation screen on the cabinet door face nearest the left pedestal.

John has a PC tower, a printer, power cables and other assorted electronic equipment neatly concealed in this left pedestal.

The top drawer is indeed top drawer. When extended it is a laptop desk.

Under this drawer is storage for those oversized atlas books.

There is ample storage under the desk that will accommodate full sized three-ring binders.

The spacious two drawer hanging file system on the right pedestal is very convenient for filing.

The top is covered with plexiglass under which is a map of the united states, very handy when planning your next trip.

The chair is a Lazyboy swivel, glider, recliner which was reinstalled on a round base with a cut-out to enable it to fit neatly under the slide lip when retracted.

They use this chair for a desk chair and also for a card playing or dining chair when they have extra company. They simply swing it around and place a portable table between the driving chairs and the Lazyboy, add a dining chair to make a foursome and they have a cozy and comfortable game table space. This is a great desk in all respects and it fits where they took out a couch which John says was uncomfortable - click on the video and watch how the slide opens around this desk.

I love reading about people who make their RV work for them. Brilliantly done. Someday we just may have our RV to change, of course.
(couldn't get the video to play on my imac, though)

Wonder if this is the same John Culver I served with at USMCAS El Toro in 1962-1963 ?

Awesome! Can you do that for us? A desk is the only thing I wish for, otherwise we have all we need in our 2004 Sunnybrook 31' BWDS fifth wheel.
