Yup... Had a mouse get in atthe campground last night. Heard it rummaging around and finally opened the under sink cupboard to see it on the sink pipe. Best we can figure it came inthroughthe slide out rubber seal (that appears to not be sealed)... Not a pleasant nights sleep as he came back for round two!
When I get more time I will search the forum for advice... Unless someone has some here?

Great responses! We went with a mattress topper and then added a pice of wood to extend the back bench seat forward a bit. Just it's morning we were able roll up the topper, strap it up and have breakfast for all four of us. Worked great!
Loving our garage! Was able to listen to the Sounders game out the back yesterday! I am able to hold all kinds of stuff back there... And will admit to being mesmerized by those blue lights last night!
Now to deal with the mice problem... Grrr!

BTW...if you are looking for more basket, hooks, etc. for your Garage model trac wall, here is a good site.

They even have pics of a Pod garage. I have the magnet rack, great for holding grill tools, knives, etc. not cheap...but worth it to me.

Definitely suggest a mattress topper....bought a foam topper, love it. Costco always has them.
I too keep a griddle in the "garage cooler" area, plus other kitchen stuff and grilling stuff. I store my dish strainer and dish towels etc. in the sink when moving. Baskets are full, I ordered more online for more stuff. Love the garage area. T.V. Reception usually sucks. I download movies and programs to my iPad and watch stuff from that during rainy times.
I also have used small bungee cords and secure to the hanging wall baskets to hold in place plastic storage bins for longer outings...keeps them from sliding around. I keep food, snacks etc, saves room....and I didnt want the storage bins sliding all around in the garage area.
Hope that helps.

Donna and I have a 4 inch dual foam firm mattres when not in use I roll it up and secure with 2 bungee cords, I leave them under the mattress when sleeping, your cant feel it I also made a folding 1/4 inch luan plywood (doubler) this goes between the foam and the exsisting cushions in the rear dinette area (172) its a little hassle about 2 or 3 minutes, to set up, we store the rolled up foam and the 1/4 doubler on the top bunk during the day, this leaves the lower for nap time. ohh p.s. I got the mattress at walmart for $99.00 its a full size, fits almost perfect and sleeps like a dream, its almost as good as our home big bucks mattress.

First, welcome to the Forum. We are new owners as well. We intend to buy a 2" memory foam topper for the dinette/bunk, and just toss it onto the queen bed in our 177 when not in use. If not needed at night, it will get re-tossed onto the dinette table.

We have the 176T (pop out bed where your kitchen is) but we use a mattress topper, too. If it is just the 2 of you, could you fold/roll up and store the topper on the backside of the dinette on the long cushion; leaving the opposite sides of the dinette open for seating?
Just a thought.

Awesome! You all are great!
Mattress topper? How small can you get them to fold up? And, any difference in a 2" vs. a 2.5" or 3" as far as foldability goes? We will generally eat outside and leave the dinette as a bed, but, alas, in Washington state, the rain drives us inside...
Thanks tons!
