Lots of B-asic Questions

[ExpressVan]

I'm trying to wrap my brain around Class B travel after traveling in a simple van set up for years. I wonder about lots of "little" things, and would like to hear from experienced owners about them:

1. Has anyone put a conventional, box spring mattress on top of the existing bed? The Ontour2.2 would work for us in terms of bed length, but we are very set on the mattress we use in our current van.

2. Refrigerators: Do the larger compression fridges keep up in extreme temps? How is the noise level? What do you do for ice for drinks (we like lots)?

3. Where in the world do you put cups, phones, eyeglasses, etc. given the lack of bedside surfaces in most B's I've seen? (We have deep window sills with cupholders, etc.)

4. Is there enough space for a few basic tools, hoses and cords along with two camp chairs and a two-burner stove behind the sofas? (I suppose our small CLAM has to stay home.)

We had hoped to go to an RV show and answer some of these questions ourselves, but somewhere between Kansas and Texas, we managed to get COVID and had to miss it.
