The inside of the boat is quite well designed given that there is not much space. The picture above is the view from the kitchen looking back into the living area. You can see the door and the steps where you get access to the inside of the boat.
This picture is taken from the aforementioned steps looking back at the kitchen.
This is a view of the kitchen. The living area is off to the left. The kitchen is well equipped. It has a propane stove and an electric refrigerator. It also has a coffee pot, microwave, and toaster which work off of an inverter. For those appliances to work, the engine really needs to be running. Jon and I started the coffee pot one morning with the engine off. The inverter emitted a high pitch squeal and the pot did not seem to be brewing coffee very fast. We turned it off. After the engine was started, the coffee brewed just fine. You do need to be careful to not overload the inverter. I was charging my laptop while the coffee pot was keeping the brewed coffee warm. You could hear the load on the engine when the coffee pot thermostat turned the warmer on.
This is Jon and Jeanne's (J&J) bedroom. There is not a lot of floor space, and the person on the inside of the bed should be the one who gets up the least in the middle of the night.
This is CHuck and Caroline's (C&C) bedroom. It is at the very front of the boat. The two windows at the top of the picture are the windows referenced in the post about the exterior of the boat. The person who sleeps on the inside of this boat is in a bit of a coffin. A claustrophobic person might have a bit of a hard time on that side of the bed.
This is the bathroom. There is a small sink on the left just outside the picture. The towel is covering the toilet. The tub has a interesting feature. The bathtub does not drain until you turn on a pump. It is then drained out the side of the boat into the canal.
If you are easily grossed out, I suggest you skip to the next paragraph. The toilet is electrical. When you flush it, it adds a bit of water, then pumps it away into a macerator which pulverizes whatever was in the bowl. The macerator is basically a garbage disposal for sewage. Maybe a better analogy would be a blender. After the macerator has doe its job (or the smoothie is blended), the sewage is pumped again. In France, it is legal to dump the sewage into the canal. We were warned to NOT swim in the water, and to wash our hands well after any contact with the water.
