Looks great! We've got a 17B on order, and I believe a U dinette is also an option on that model. If so, Lisa, how long does it take you to set up the bed at night? We're kinda wondering about the daily hassle factor and like to take a lil' nap after lunch when trailering!

You also have to consider where you will put the topper ( you will want more cushion under the hips after a few days ) and where you will put the bedding.
We leave ours as a bed.

Gosh, you've got the same tug as we do; real happy with our 2011 RAV4 V6 and didn't want to have to get a bigger tug so ordered the 17B. We always thought to keep the bed set up during the day 'cause we didn't want to have to store the topper (same reasoning as you--makes bigger hips happy!). We'll get a gaucho bed for the front dinette in case eventual grand kids come along but planned otherwise just to use it as a permanent seating area.
