   I have been working on a 177 about 10 years old this winter.   I took "Terrapin" out this week to the woods at a California State Park.  Everything works but the ceiling fan.  Fix that next. 
The rig fits everywhere which is why I bought it.  It is definitely compact but keeping things organized helps a lot.  I wish the bed was a few inches longer.  I am getting used to sleeping at an angle across the bed.  It is cozy and reminds of sleeping on a boat.   Not as well insulated as some larger rigs but overall very satisfactory.  The low was 34 degrees.  Making coffee got the rig up close to 50 degrees.  Next trip will be soon.
