Class A with seating in back

When I was a kid I got to go on an rv trip and had a blast. One thing I liked about the one we went in (sorry don't remember brand its been 40 years) was that in the back it had bench seating with a table that converted into beds. We have 2 kids and I've been looking for one that has two separated seating areas so they could each get some alone time. I've seen the thor model that converts but that is only a double bed in the back. Also saw a Forest River that had bunks in the hallway that could be used but that has more sleeping area that would be wasted for us since we only have 4 people. Anyone know of one that has seatbelts (with removable table)in the back that converts to a king or queen? Would like to be in the 30'-35' range if possible.

Haven't had any luck in my searches.

Thanks

  • Saw a small Class C a couple of years ago that had a rear dinette. Think it was Canadian, but can't remember the brand. Someone would have to sleep in the overhead to sleep 4 though. Most of the small Class C's we've rented overseas (Maui brand named) have had the rear dinette/bed plus a cabover bed.

    Our old 1972 Lifetime Class A (23 foot) had a rear couch that converted to a bed, plus a dinette/bed behind the cockpit, and a bed over the cockpit. Hard to find that layout today.

    I've never seen a modern motorhome with the dinette in back. Likely because functionally you'd be walking through the bedroom to get to the dining area. In terms of "separate" areas - my favorite floorplan is the Challenger 37kt. The front living area has French doors to make it a separate room. It also has a fold out couch and optional bunk to make this a true separate living/sleeping area. The dining area is sectioned off in the hall with floor to ceiling windows and the rear is the master BR, again sectioned off. Love that floorplan.

  • Lots of coaches still come with the seating "dinette". Nice thing about them is the storage under each bench. When doing your search, look for or add a filter with 'dinette' in the search box. You'll most likely have to add the seat belts if that's important to you....Dennis
