I don't have your model so I can't give you any ideas.  I would call the dealer have a talk with you salesman about it.  Maybe there is a problem with your Pod.

I have the 173T.  The problems that you state are true.  When I went to see my dealer before I bought it, he pointed out to me that although FR states that it sleeps 6, 4 is probably the highest, with 5 pushing it.

I think for the tent area they are talking about the size of the air mattress, not the opening.  My air mattress fits over the gap, so no need for support, that is where my legs are.

I have not tried to sleep on the sofa by itself, tent is normally down and I sleep on the air mattress.

Hopefully that helps.  I do think FR needs to change what they state.

Welcome thinking1.  I guess you copy-and-pasted from Word, I tried to clean up your post a little - not sure what is going on with the formatting.

If you have any other questions about podding, like questions about the water system, electrical system, lug nut maintenance, etc, fire away!
