Has anyone camped in the summer heat in a 172. We are leaning toward that model.My husband is concerned since there are no windows on the bunk end, that it might be stuffy.
Any information is appreciated.

I don't think that will be a problem. Open a window or 2 and turn on the exhaust fan to a slow speed and you have have plenty of air circulating.

We have a 172 and the outside temp was never a problem. The AC units are loud, but cool nicely.

I was in Az and NM this July, pretty hot. So as not to freeze out the top bunk,( which the a/c will do), I use a milder temp on the A/c and have a 12" fan on the floor, pointed under the top bunk. I get the little extra breeze I like and we both sleep well.
Just camped in what I call cold, and just ran the heater. Lee

Does anyone know how deep the storage is under the bottom bunk on a 172. I am going to start looking for storage containers.

It is now official!!! We are ordering our R Pod 172 on Monday morning. We got a great deal from a local dealer, and they are going to store it for us until March. I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!
My husband wants to know if anyone has pulled with a Ford F150? Do you use a sway bar?

Pepperpod,
I use the plastic storage boxes that are designed to slide under a bed. Those fit very well. Anything else I found is too tall.
