Give me some way to sleep 4 in a B
So I have a 30ft Class C. It's too big for what we want and my wife won't drive it. She wants, and I want, to move to the Class B. The B's are superb for she and I. But I have a 17yo and a 9yo...

The subject came up about sleeping on the floor. I put a standard 26" x 75" Thermarest pad down on my Great West Van Legend Sprinter floor. It just fits and you can still get in the bathroom. I doubt you'll find another Sprinter B that can do this with this size mattress since no one else has that aisle width and/or bathroom door location. Also, that would only enable you to sleep 3.
BTW, the OP already has a C and expressed interest in a Sprinter B. I'm just looking at those options since this is a B forum addressing the question.
Kind of a timely topic because we are heading out to Virginia and will be bringing our 10 year old grand daughter back to Minnesota with us for a vacation camping trip over two nights. We're considering a tent but maybe this will work as well.
We do something similar, but with a different product and for a different reason.
For trips that are more than a day's drive to "get there" (i.e., to the starting point), I usually drive "there" solo, and DW follows at 30,000 feet. For us, that works.
We have a PW Lexor TS. So, in the back, it's either the sofa or the bed, but only one at a time. And, yes, I could sleep crosswise on the sofa, but I don't like how I fit.
So when I'm "staging" (as it were), and thus alone, I frequently use one of these on the floor, leaving the sofa as a sofa. Fortunately ours are all black, not the port wine currently available. The cover can be removed and washed if necessary and/or desired.
And, we've found that, rather than "memory foam" or some such as a "topper" for the reclined sofa, we use two of these side by side.
So, my being on the floor, or the two of us on the bed, it's comfy. Like home? Not quite, but, very acceptable.
The only "issue" we've had to figure out is, as we change altitude, we need to change the inflation. When we're climbing, we open the inflation valve on them before we go up - else they can get, shall we say, somewhat larger.
For transport, we move the sofa forward slightly, fold these in half, drop them behind the sofa (side by side), then move the sofa back. They're out of the way, are no meaningful additional weight, and really easy to set up.
Sure works for us.
