A one clip strap holds our large pillows and covers in place. Push it up, latch it, and it's ready and out of the way until you are ready for bed. There is good storage under the couch just a bit hard get to as it doesn't fully open up. Not a place to store things you want ready access to thoughout the day. The couch is large enough for me to catch a nap on if I don't want to bring the bed down.Re: Rockwood 2503sMy TV is a 2010 F150,SuperCrew. 5.4 liter with 3.55 axle ratio. It has the trailer towing package which adds transmission oil cooler and radiator upgrade. Also have electronic trailer braking and weight distribution hitch. Pulls, accelerates, and brakes great. Only issue is the MPG which drops to about half (or less) when I'm towing our 2503s. I don't know our loaded cargo weight but the wife and I aren't ones to travel light. The truck bed is loaded up with ice chests, chairs, etc. Tip. Get yourself some cabinet corner safety cushions. The upper cabinets by the bed have sharp corners. Otherwise we love our MiniLite 2503S and will be heading out Friday for our third straight weekend trip.Re: Rockwood 2503sWe recently purchased a Rockwood MiniLite 2503S. Have taken it out a couple times and absolutely love it. However, this is our first travel trailer so we don't have comparisons. The murphy bed was one of the selling points as it allowed for a couch, more room in the bathroom, and second entry door on the other end. The slight inconvenience of putting the bed up and down is more than offset by having more room in the trailer during the day.
