   I understand the highways  We are going to look - a friend bought some other brand (sob) of travel trailer about the size of ours that has a comfortable couch that pulls out into a bed. The couch was just the size of that uncomfortable bench. We've used a custom made pad from the upholstery shop which helps but that couch was great.

	We removed the ottoman near the bed to improve space in our 179. Bought a little tripod folding stool to use there when needed. We also replaced the soft foam in the other ottoman with firm foam so you don’t sink. Will probably replace the bench foam eventually, too. This worked great for our last 8-day trip and much easier than some of the more extensive modifications I have seen described.

	Yes I saw a post where someone got a futon and put it in their camper. I just purchased a futon and will try to put it in this weekend . I just took out the foot stool by the bed and it’s so much better: much roomier. Next will be trying to hook up some solar. We need power to our outlets to run a cpap at night, but best we can tell, only the lights and slide are feeding off the battery.

	I used the furnace power connection to tap into for an outlet on the base of the bed behind the front ottoman next to the AC outlet that is in our 179. Then I tapped into the entertainment center power for another outlet next to the AC outlet that powers the television. That one powers my CPAP machine. I also installed USB power outlets at the same time. See my mods for further information.

	Thanks Stephen H; I’ve really enjoyed reading about all your “pod mods”. I’ll study this and see if I’m capable of this mod
