Exactly!  This is what we do

I am with you Ronahue.  We used to do the same thing.  My wife was afraid there would be a grizzly bear or something else, waiting to get a midnight snack, if she were to go potty alone.  So we would both go together and I was sure if something did come, I could run faster.  In all seriousness though, as you said, this sure beats walking in the middle of the night to take care of business and my dear wife has extended much grace to me over these 40 years, I am blessed.

simple fix, buy a 172. bunks were made to solve this issue. I hear they discontinued the 172 now, hopefully the 176 is available next time im looking. i liked that the 172 was the lightest camper too

I don't think there is a good way. Somebody is going to get woke up and/or stepped on. This sort of thing fosters those "loving understanding" kind of feelings that only persons in a small camper can fully appreciate.   

or so I'm told........

In our 179 I sleep on the outside when Sharon needs to get up she wakes me up I get out of bed wait for her to take care of business then we both go back to bed. It's camping what's the big deal? When we had a tent I use to have to walk to the bathroom with her this is easier.

Levitation works well.  http://www.levitation.org  ðŸ˜Ž

If the two sleeping in the bed are an "older" couple, the man should probably sleep on the outside, so he can go pee in the night without waking his lovely bride.  

This is one of the reasons I took out the upper bunk in our 172.  It made a nice storage area at the foot end of the bed and made it possible for my wife to get up enough to step over me.  Neither of us could get the hang of levitation, no matter how hard we tried.
Never leave footprints behind.
