Thanks! It does seem like the recliners may work for some sleep in a pinch!

To update, we did get a 17MKE about 3 weeks ago. We've used it twice so far, once with electric hookup and this weekend at Seacliff State Beach in Santa Cruz without hookups and it worked really well for us with the slide out. We really like it! Having to slide out to lower the Murphy bed is one unfortunate sore point but with the slid extended the trailer is really roomy and we have space for our two dog's beds without blocking the late night stumble to the bathroom.
