If you want a rear RV-queen sized bed, you will probably need to get a 27 foot bumper-to-bumper rig similar to our 2004 Tioga 26Q. Bed is sideways with left side against rear wall. The Tioga/Jamboree 26Q is no longer made by Fleetwood but there are a number of used ones available. Similar newer models usually have a slide. If your wife must drive, she will have to accept a little longer rig than a 24 footer. If either of you have arthritis etc., sleeping in the overhead or on jacknife sofa or convertible dinette is not comfotable. Also, short rigs have little inside cabinet space and little outside storage space, meaning you have a lot of clutter and put stuff in shower and in the aisle.
The older we get, a comfortable rear bed becomes essential.
