Hi Riverman

Yes, it does, in the main living/bedroom area.  The porch has an optional bucket groundsheet.  If you are thinking of buying one I can thoroughly recommend it.  We love our SV8!

does anyone know if there's a double airbad to fit in the removable 2-man bedroom? It seems to be 130cm & all the beds I've seen are 137 wide or more.
If there isn't, what do other people do with this '2 man' room, just use it for storage/a single, ta?

I've just bought it too btw but it's not arrived yet.

Hi ernst,I noticed this as well but thought my 137cm airbed would fit in it if needed,it's only 3.5cm a side if you place the airbed bang in the middle and the inner tents i've ever seen are hardly that tight when in place.Will know better tommorrow as we are gonna finally get to put ours up,i'll take an airbed along as well now to see for sure.

We'll probably use ours for storage anyway tbh.

We bought the standard double airbeds from Asda and if we put one in the 2 person bedroom it fills it completely.  We only use this bedroom if one of the kids brings along a friend so this is not a problem.  The airbeds are fine in the other bedrooms and if pushed to one side give about 30 cm at one side, plenty of room to put holdalls, etc or the kids bits and pieces in their room.  At the end of the day how much room do you need in the bedroom pods - they're only a place to sleep!

What brand, though? I did wonder about this myself and am guessing the 137cm wide Coleman will go in at a squeeze? Wouldn't you think that manufacturers would bear in mind dimensions of most successful airbeds, when deciding inner sizes!

Preferably enough room for a standard airbed, like the much-loved Coleman Comfort double?

exactly liddenham. I don't care how much extra room there is, I only want to be sure a double airbed'll fit in before I waste my money. It is silly tbh to make a bead pod 130 cm when doubles are normally 137 & singles 70cm. I'll probably use one of the larger pods as storage & was planning on me & dh having the smallest pod - want a bit of distance between my 3, they either snore, heavybreathe or talk in their sleep. The more distance the better.

If you say a 137 air bed will fit in a 130 pod I guess I'll have to believe you.
