Can you sleep 4 in a class B

Nice rig. Too bad the side door and steering wheel are on the wrong side.

Exactly, I don't plan to overnight in it often. I think the kitchen and bath will be the most useful.

But Mr. Landlord makes a great point that I hadn't thought of. It would probably make sense to stow sleeping bags in this rather than bedding.

I took a look at the Winnebago Travato a couple of days ago and was not impressed. It looked very poorly constructed. I will focus on Roadtrek and Airstream next.

I almost laughed once in the Travato. I agree on its construction. Worse though for me was the lack of legroom and general comfort of the front seats. For long trips, it was totally unacceptable. If I was in my early 20's and did not have any kids, it might work for 5 years or so. The only production quasi sleep 4 class b was the Airstream Westfalia that was built in 2005. I was so sad that they stopped production on this. I would have bought one in a second if they made this today. Even though we are about 10 years later, these go for over 50K with over 100K miles.

Best Ducato Class B conversion in Australia is Horizon Casuarina, looks bit like the New Zion See video below and internal shot

As well IVECO Dailys have been replacing the Sprinter here as a. base for a Class C Motorhome Presumably the very new Model of the Daily is very good

I must have looked at the best Travato out there. It looked to be well made.

I struggled with a solution to get 4 people to sleep comfortably in a class B. I created sportsmobile floorplans and everything. The bottom line is "not unless you are willing to sacrifice something". The main problem you are going to have is storage and livability. Every morning and evening, you get to play, what I call, "the lego game" either putting everything in the mode to sleep or to use for dining. For me, it was only wife, 7 year old daughter and myself. The single bunk I used on the front 2 seats in my CS Adventurous. That alone was a pain in the butt. With 4 people, forget bedding, you are only going to be able to use sleeping bags and maybe pillows. Add in clothes and food and all your storage is full in the class B. Good luck being able to bring chairs, firewood, a grill, toys and stuff.

After my first season camping, I am going to add a travel trailer (RPod 182G) that will be dedicated for sleeping only. When I get up, I want to not have to put away my bedding and then covert the bed back to a dining table. I want to get up, make coffee and breakfast and be done. I feel that I would spend over an hour everyday playing this lego game and this ruined the RV experience.

Isn't there a B manufacturer that has a drop down bed over the cab area, as well as a double or queen in the back? Don't recall the company, but thought I saw that. Maybe not ideal for adults, but could work with kids.

Quite common in Australia. When I showed a drop down bed in a Sprinter B, sometime ago, it was a real novelty for North Americans. Now becoming almost the norm in the US for B's

Sounds like a Chevy Roadtrek might be the best bet.

The OP is looking to tow the B behind a 45 ft Class A. The max length he can have in Florida is 65 ft. Therefore he can't go anything larger than a 20 ft B.
