Hi We are looking at a 2nd hand Elody - our mian issue is whether we can fit the 4 of us in as we sleep on camp beds, this type: http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/hi-gear-aluminum-camping-bed-p143627 especially as 3 will have to share the larger sleeping pod with the eldest in the smaller pod. Each bed is 65cm wide and 195 long. My reserach suggests the sleeping area is just over 4m in total and probably separated into 2 sizes of 1.4m and 2.7m (based on the Cabanon Athena which has similar dimensions) - but measurements are one thing and the reality quite another. Any advice welcome.

Thanks both, we are really keen but don't want to make a wrong purchase really, especially as will want to be using this for week plus trips and need to be sure of the sleeping space.
JK98 - thanks, those measurements make more sense to someone my age.
Gailbonny - your family make up is virtually the same as ours (me, OH, son age 13 (and already 6ft) and other age 8) - but no dogs, we are away from the house too long during the day to have a dog  . Is the new pod hung in the living space? Anbd is left there permanently?

Thanks Wurzel, been looking at the Athena also as thats very similar.
However, we've shelved our plans at the moment to save up a bit more money to get a newer tent. Must admit though that my eye has been caught by bell tents at the moment - though that will require some significant saving.

Our four berth compartment measures eight foot wide (2.44), and the two berth is just four foot wide (1.22). The only problem you may have is the length - due to the inner pod tapering in as it goes upwards - and I can't help you with the measurement of the pod at the point where the top of the camp bed comes to, as our pods are both packed away now
