Access to overhead bunk
I have a class c with no slide outs. I have a ladder to climb into the over head bunk which works fine except I can’t use it when the couch is folded out to make a bed. How do you then get in and out ...

Overhead bed....difficult for the older adult or senior??
Dang!! I don't think I'm quite that decrepit yet. I'm 65, 5'10", and 230 lbs....yet have no problem navigating the ladder in or out of our overhead bed whatsoever. It is my preferred place to sleep.
Well ... not braggin' (maybe complaining?) ... but I'm 77, 6'2", ~220 lbs., and can get up into our 24 foot Itasca Class C's overhead cab bed with narry a problem (yet)! :C
However, our Class C has a higher floor than the cab floor so I guess this makes the up/down ladder trip a fairly short one. The headroom is fine for me to sit upright in the bed with my feet hanging over the side. I just stow the ladder tucked inside the bedding when not sleeping up there.
Since our coach is a widebody one, the head and foot have a nice storage slot all along them. In this space at the head and foot of the bed I stow such things as an outdoor lounge chair, a couple of outdoor folding tables, a fan, a CPAP machine, books, extra blankets, etc..
So what we wind up with is two queen beds, and a full bed (made up from the dinette, if needed) in a small Class C.
