screen TV, a bar and… an air conditioner. Called a Swamp
Cooler, Ron says the unit can make all the difference when it
gets hot. A custom bar and Adirondack chairs were made from
the very same cedar trees most Nebraska farmers cuss at.
While it may be questionable where “home” is, it’s clear
that this space along the banks of the Mighty Mo is a favorite.
“After spending three or four days here, you don’t want to go
to another home.”
Rich and Lanette Hinckley bought their first camper 12
years ago. “It was such a little thing!” Lanette tells. Their latest
model, a 35 foot Keystone Challenger, is 14 feet wide and
weighs 11,000 pounds.
When not in the RV, Rich and Lanette have a traditional
home in Yankton. Beautifully appointed inside and out, their stick built home has been featured
with Yankton’s annual Tour of Gardens and Tour of Homes.
Despite the fact that the RV is only a fraction of the size of the their home – 490 square feet
compared to 3,200 - decorating the RV was just as important to them as decorating the home.
And, as you can see from the pictures, living in an RV means having the comforts of a luxurious
home, just on a reduced scale.
The inside is similar to the decorating style found at their home in Yankton, with warm
colors, soft lighting and decorative accents. Lanette is resourceful in finding ways to add décor
that works in a moving home. Wall art is attached with Velcro, or
double sided tape to keep things in place.
The large kitchen island gives Lanette plenty of room to cook for
the grandkids when they visit. Modern appliances in a black finish,
beautiful countertops, double sink and warm oak cabinetry make this
kitchen the envy of any home!
Both the bathroom and kitchen have oil-rubbed bronze fixtures,
and are much more spacious than you would expect.
The main living area includes dining table and chairs, recliners,
sofa and a desk area. The bedroom has a king size bed and plenty of
storage room.
Outside, you’ll find charming signage and lighting that can be
easily put up, taken down and stored.
