Camping with kids in these trailers?

You might consider the 176 also. I think the 9 year old would appreciate having a separate bunk. For the 10 month old, you might need to do some modifications to turn a bunk into a crib. The 179 would have the same issue but would have more storage for baby things under the kitchen cabinets. We have the 179 and I am considering the Futon modification some people have done since rearranging the small cushions to make the dinette into a bed means there are lots of gaps unless one puts a topper over them. The 178's cushions would likely be similar. Children might find it okay, but I would not like to sleep on an arrangement like that.
