Sleeping in overhead bed is for kids without arthritis, etc.
Gary,
Not necessarily ... I'm far from being a kid due to my arthritis and other stuff ... and I sleep in our Class C's cabover bed all the time. Maybe not all Class C cabover bed areas are the same. Ours has plenty of length (I'm 6'2") and headroom - plus the roof vent right there provides fresh air while I sleep. Also, the stock ladder that it came with has wide steps so it's easy on the feet to go up and down.
The DW has the rear corner bed in our 24 footer all to herself because she needs the spread-out room for to her bad back. For occasional guests, we use the full size bed that the dinette quickly converts into. I also have slept (slightly cross-wise) in the dinette full size bed.
I'm at times concerned by our Class C's 101 inch exterior coach width - but never by it's length being "too short" ... in fact I wish it was both narrower and shorter so we could take it on the the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier NP.
