I stumbled upon this thread when I was looking to see how a piano could be brought in Airstream.
We have a 2016FC23D, and so far, our trips have not been long enough for me to justify even attempting it. But that may change in the next 5~6 years.
When we do start traveling for extended periods of time, say longer than a month, I do feel that I must bring my piano with me. I can't not play for that long because it would drive me crazy.
I do understand OP's desire to travel with a real piano. If I was a serious classical player, I would probably feel the same way. But I'm not a serous classical player, and I find a today's modern digital piano quite adequate--new ones have really come a long way, and they feel almost like a real thing. Plus you don't need to tune it, you can use a headphone, you can abuse it and if it breaks, no big deal.
With our 23D, I don't think I can make a permanent set up even with a digital piano. I'm thinking of just putting on the dinette when I play. If so, all I need is a height adjustable stool. But I haven't figured out where I would put it away when I'm not playing. When we are moving, I could just put it on the bed, and that's probably the safest place, but not sure if I want to keep it on the bed when we are stationary (It's not like I play 5 hours a day; it would be 1.5 hours every other day). I haven't measured the dimensions, but possibly, the storage under bed is a candidate. If it doesn't fit in there, maybe some modification of seating area is needed to put it under the couch.
I just wondered what other people have done, but speculating from lack of pictures on the internet, not a whole lot of people do this, I figured.
