B with drop down bed?

About three years ago we saw a B with a pull down (murphy type)bed in the rear. It may be the Great West van that a link is posted to in one of the responses. It did not seem very popular at this RV show and I think (may be wrong) that it was not a model that was continued.

Yes, it is a good idea as it gives the option of making up a full bed with sheets in the rear and folding it out of the way. The power sofa/bed is often used with a sleep sack or sleeping bag and no sheets. We don't have the power sofa/bed. We just leave the bed made up while we are traveling, use the front if we are eating in, and don't really need the space where the bed is to be kept open.

Our Sportsmobile has a sofa/bed which, while traveling we keep set up as a sofa. Once we set up it's a simple pull forward on the seat bottom and push the back down. Our bedding folds in thirds behind the seat when traveling and unfolds easily to make the bed. Everything's there and we're done. Maybe not for everyone, but in our B, it's perfect for us. Comfy, convienent, and easy.

We leave the twin beds in our RT 210P made up all the time. We use them as couches during the day.

Our van is old, however, we couldn't find the "B" that suited our needs and our pocketbook so we made one to suit us. She slept crosswise on the converted dinnett/bed and I slept lengthwise on the floor until we decided on this.

Beds stay made up all the time and we seldom convert to a Queen sise and seldom use the table. TV trays or outside piknik table works for us. Great storage above the cab--room for Freezer, etc.
We have traveled coast to coast in the 1988 RV and love it. We are old and frugal but still enjoy a good time.

PPL Motorhomes has a Great West Vans with just such a setup for 16k right now.

After looking at the prices of the suggestions, I can already see nothing is going to be within my budget. Had seen some Roadtrek's in my area, decent condition, for about $20k.

New truck is only $32k and upgrade camper another 15k max. Since I plan on using the truck as my DD, I would still have to buy a vehicle capable of towing 5,000#s which would cost $20k used.

So, looks like our current plan of truck and TC will be the way to go.

Thanks anyway and happy camping.

Another option is the Tiger by Provan. The bed is in the cab-over and you can get them on a 4x4 chassis for high ground clearance and going off the pavement.

On most Chevy Roadtrek 190's (& 210?), the rear bad can be left made up. The front seats are on swivels, and recline. So they can be faced around to eat (front table) and relax. Ground clearance is kind of lacking, tho'.

Leisure Travel Van has a couple of B;s that might be what you're looking for
