Looking for Short, Used Class C with Island Bed

I should have said "shortest". From my research it looks like a 26-footer is the smallest Class C with an island bed.

    You generally won't find an island bed on shorter models because it would require having the rear wheel wells in the walkway around the bed, which means either having a decidedly not flat floor there or having the whole floor raised up rather higher than usual.

    A few companies offer twin bed arrangements on shorter units, with a center walkway between the two beds. Possibly that could be an alternative that would work for you; possibly not. (Some further have available a filler bit available to convert the twin beds to a huge king bed with no walkway.)

    Nope. It has a 2-sided island bed like so . . .



    3-sided island beds (what I want) run along these lines (28' and longer) . . .

  • I remember a unit that had a folding rear bed that might have slid out??? maybe a winnie.

  • An island bed without it being inside a side-protruding slide out is a rare find these days. Being only 26 feet over-all length is even harder to find.

    I don't like a slide out located above or behind the rear axle because of the issues with weight distribution. I feel a centered walk-around queen bed without a rear slide out makes for an ideal bedroom in a class B+/C.
  • it's been years since I have been looking but 24 footers all had corner beds and you had to go to 26 ft for island
