How do you feel about your corner bed?
I love all these 32' units with their walk-around queen beds, but I'm not enthusiastic about their length. So I'm wondering how you feel about...okay, I'll say it--being "stuffed" into your corner bed...

Take out a pen and piece of paper and try to sketch Class C floorplans, with these conditions:
1. 24 feet maximum length for go-anywhere compactness.
2. no slides
3. floor height permanently available approximate queen size bed not counting the cabover
4. dinette or U-lounge
5. 6 cf or larger refrig
6. cooktop with MW or CO above and oven or storage below, and an end flip-out
7. twin or single kitchen sink
8. the usual bathroom area with shower, toilet, sink, cabinet, etc.
9. one or two floor-to-ceiling closets
10. maybe even a lounge chair, not counting any swiveling cab seats
and .... you'll probably find from your sketching attempts that a corner bed is the only way to have it.
Our 24 footer - since small but with no slides is what we wanted - has all of the above including the number 10 lounge chair (we don't have any cab seats that swivel). However, because of her bad back the DW gets the entire corner bed to herself and it is easy for just one person to use. I make up it's foam topper with clean sheets whenever needed. The corner bed mattress remains permanently covered, so there is no need to get under or handle the large and heavy mattress itself. I'm able to use the overhead cab bed all to myself, which is plenty of room and easy to make up for camping and put away for travel. I'm around 6'2".
So what we have is two approximately size queen beds and an additional guest full size bed quickly made from the dinette, plus all the other motorhome conveniences ... all in 24 feet. However, the longest time we've ever spent in it so far has been only about a 10 week trip.
