Naw.. the first few trips, we tried to get his big butt to sleep up there.. Thought maybe if I was on it he would be more comfortable.. He never did take to it, so those first few years of podding we slept with a 110 pound and 80 pound dog, on the floor. People mumble about getting out of the crack with a partner.. try doing that AND having almost nowhere on the floor safe to put your feet.. LOLI do miss my big dog..

A quorum of the forum members has been convened/polled and the following decision has been rendered:

"We will accept your explanation, at face value; with no testimony/statement from Mrs. furpod regarding why you were banished to sleeping on the dinette, with the dog, on any particular night(s)."

It's all good 'bro....you're off the hook!
*********************************************************************

In looking at the picture, how could you NOT miss him/her?
I have a similar situation with Dixie. When I made my own dinette, I made it in such a way that she could have her bed/sleep under the table.
She won't do it....got to be in the 2' floor space right below my bed.
A small price to pay for such devoted friends.]]> Fri, 25 Mar 2016 14:21:57 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7632&PID=71909#71909 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7632&PID=71905#71905 Author: furpod

Ok Thanks.

I am also considering the R180 and that has the smaller dinette table but looks to be the same mechanical device as the larger table. ]]> Fri, 25 Mar 2016 11:21:22 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7632&PID=71902#71902 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7632&PID=71901#71901 Author: dacolson

LOL. I reinforced ours with 1x2s around the whole table opening. Then ran 1x2 supports at the corners down to the floor. My wife and I sleep there and use the tent space on the 172T for storage when it cools down. Much warmer. I never noticed any issues with stability of the table previously, but feel better with the reinforcement and it was a simple mod.]]> Fri, 25 Mar 2016 11:18:13 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7632&PID=71901#71901 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7632&PID=71900#71900 Author: Guests

Those of you that use tables as beds, are they built well enough for a 170 lb person to use it. Will it hold up to repeated use as a bed?

Thanks for your experience and comments.]]> Fri, 25 Mar 2016 07:12:50 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7632&PID=71880#71880
