Husband is 6'4", he sleeps at an angle or on his side. I curl up against the back wall.
Only complaint is having to climb over him to get out of bed

I'm 6'2" and me and my wife both just slept on the dinette bed. We have the 182 with bunk beds in the back and if we go without kids my wife will sleep on one of the bunks. I can almost stretch out completely and slept pretty good...

While I think all pods are the same hight they do not all have the the sam AC unit in them. Maybe that is the difference.

I am 6'4" and can find ways to make the rPod work for me. The rPod actually seemed to have more headroom than the other trailers that we looked at, thus causing the reason why we like the rPod so much. I find the shower is the most problematic, ducking required, and the bed being second. While sleeping I find i can put one foot in the corner and keep my other leg slightly bent and it works for me. But its not my permanent residence and by all means it beats the two person back packing tent that we previously had.

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like some pretty big guys are finding ways to get comfortable enough. I think to fully appreciate the pod, we sometimes have to remind ourselves what it's like to sleep on the ground in a tent. The trade-offs for a small, nimble camper don't seem so severe then.

Just living the high life while in the woods.  Gotta be stylish, ya know!


But, seriously, if I had hair, it'd be brushing against the A/C while I stand in the kitchen.  Must be a difference in my first-gen R-Pod.

I am 6'2 1/2" and sleep on my back sometimes, but sleep on my side most of the time.

Wall-to-wall inside my R-Pod, its 6'2" across.  I'm 6' and find it a bit tight to lie flat on my back and end up sleeping on my side somewhat curled-up.

As a side note, walking around, I just fit with less than an inch to spare under the A/C.

I've read that some tall podders have to take over the entire bed or dinnette, with their spouse taking the other.  This is so they can sleep diagonally.
