Mine has a queen width bed on the bottom which is just right for two people and the dog- no cabinets came with this one at all. The upstairs has a 2 piece pad for two more people. I like this top because it is very light weight and easy to deploy. You can't put a rack on the top so I put one over the top when I need to carry extra long or heavy items like my porta-bote. Haven't had it up in high winds. I try to stay home if its a dark and stormy night. It fits perfectly with my philosophy of LWLB: light weight low bucks traveling/camping. Keeps me from wishing I had a v6 motor and 20 inch rotors to stop it all:).
