I'll try to get some photos this weekend.  The storage space under 
the v-berth now contains the PTE,  some parts for the bimini, some 
additional screening, a jug of Odorlos, and other loose parts that I 
haven't identified yet.  They may just be spares.  But it's mostly 
empty even with all that.

As you described, the porta-potti gets moved out into the main cabin 
when the berth is made up.  Getting in and out of the v-berth is 
fairly easy for the port-side occupant.  The starboard-side occupant 
has a real challenge climbing over and past the port-side occupant to 
get out, but it's manageable.  Just put the early riser on the port-side!

Cheers!
