The best new drop down bunk I have seen will be on the 2015 Coachmen Sportscoach Cross Country 404RB. It's called a "salon bunk". It's a 12 foot long bunk that drops down from the bulkhead over the dinette and sofa. Long enough to sleep 2. When up it's totally concealed. It's a belt driven mechanism. I can't find any pics on line but it was featured in the new Motorhome magazine (pg 52). This could open up a whole new range of bunks essentially combining drop down and bunkhouse ideas in one. I love it.
That sounded really cool so I googled it and found this:

I have the old scissor-type bunk above the cockpit in my Allegro. It's pretty stable and can sleep 2 kids. Without it, we could only sleep 4 at most (I have twins in the back and a pull-out couch).
The other cool thing about the dropdown bunk is that it kind of becomes its own "room" when you close off the windshield curtains and the divider curtains.
Direct answer to the question: it's useful for kids or an adult in a pinch.
