With a little creativity and work, you could probably convert the sleeping / eating area into a bed for 1 and a small table for 2.

I forgot to mention that the Class A I sold 18 months ago didn't have a bedroom - the bed came down out of the ceiling and I had to inflate the air mattress every night.  Converting the dinette into a bed wouldn't be that big a deal!

Thanks for the info.  I also am looking for something compact and easy to tow as I have very little experience towing anything. Not planning any long trips, just weekends with friends and family.

My wife and I are beginning our 3rd summer of happy RP 151 ownership. Yes it is small, but it is just the 2 of us and neither of us is a large person. We like the layout and usually leave the table / bed in the bed set up. We mostly eat outside at the campground table, if the weather is bad we will sit on the edge of the bed and eat there. We had the R dome and used it a couple of times, but sold it as we did not need the space and do not have pets. We camp most often in local National Forest Campgrounds and found that there usually was not space for the dome. We purchased a canvas awning instead. We have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and have no plans to upgrade to something larger. And because of the small size, it tows very well behind our V6 4Runner without any hitch accessories.

Happy Trails...

2 things come to mind.. can you live with the kitchen in the front? It's tight near your head if very tall, and was in fact what kept us from buying a pod when they first came out. And the 151 does not have a dedicated bed.. means setting up and tearing down the "bedroom" any time you want to use the "dining room"..

Sorry I didn't post anything! Just learning how this works!  I'm looking at a 2010 Model 151 - anyone know anything about that model?  It's just going to be me and a small dog for short outings with the kids and grandkids - want something so I have my own "space" but don't need much more than a place to sleep and put a coffee pot!
