Topic: real size of bunks in 176
Posted: 05 Apr 2013 at 2:33pm

Went out and measured mine...

Wall to wall, the length is 74"

The bottom bunk is 32" wide, the top is 30" wide (due to the wall curvature)

Welcome, as far as I know the 172 is the only pod with over sized bunks 42"x74" that is one of the reasens we picked the 172, all the other bunks are 31"x74" to narrow. It would have been nice if the 172 had a slide out, but that is just another thing that can break down, and you add another 250 pounds. The extra few sqaure feet dont realy matter to us , we spend our days in the outdoors, also with the r-dome you add another room.

If you want something done right, do it yourself.

We are looking at getting an RPOD sometime this year. We have 2 kids, ages 4 and 10, who really want the bunk beds. We would prefer to get an RPOD with a slide out, but have noticed that the bunks in these have smaller dimensions listed than the 172. I took a tape measure with me and went to look at a 182G that is at a dealer near us. The pamphlet says they are 38x74, but they only measure 30" with a tape measure.

Can anyone tell me the real measurements of the bunks in a 176? The pamphlet says 31". The length isn't an issue - my husband is 5'4", I am 4'9", and our kids are short as well!

Thanks!
