I have the distinct pleasure of owning an 1980 Bethany Compact 560...and I
love the looks others give it when they see those twin pullout beds sticking out the sides!  They have so much more appearant room inside..the cabin is
almost 11 feet long and 12 wide across the wings.
  Almost every trip other campers come up and want to see inside. Mine is a late production Bethany so it has white formica and plaid upholstry instead of the earlier orange's and red's.   It pulls like a dream...and sets up easily because there is NO cables or cranks...the spring loaded arms let me set the
roof up with only one hand. White spoke wheels instead of the stock black  
w/baby moon hubcaps moderized the outside appearance too.
  I usually camp alone so I try to keep a neat cabin and campsite and the 560 has ample storage for all the stuff I take along.   It's a shame they quit building this style of camper.

VERY cool camper, Gunrunner!

I do agree that there are some of the older designs that would have merited keeping around - this would be one of them!
