Small bunkhouse RVs? Have I missed any?
I have a 2012 R-pod 177 that we started RVing with about 3 years ago but my family has outgrown it (there's now 4 of us), so we're starting to look for a "bunkhouse" plan to replace it, probably withi...

That is less than ideal, but the plans I'm looking at all look a LOT easier to get in/out of bed than the R-pod we have. She makes me sleep "in", so I have to climb over her and through the narrow opening between kitchen and bath which is maybe 30-36 inches in the R-pod 177. Further complicating it is an overhead cabinet right in the middle.

That surprises me a bit, I feel sure we're never near the limit of our R-pod even with its single 3500# axle. Then again, it's small enough there's not a whole lot that will fit inside and I don't travel with a lot in the tanks if it can be avoided.
As to the mirrors, the 4runner's mirrors can see around the 77" or so body of the R-pod... but going to an 85" wide camper may necessitate add-on mirrors.
