- samsontdogExplorerMy DW hated the rear corner bed as she had to climb over to go potty plus the bed was hard to make up. Did not keep it long before selling. We now a walk around bed
- pnicholsExplorer IIWe wanted a small motorhome to get into small spots, plus the DW needed her own bed that is always available for instant use to spread out on due to a bad back.
These requirements added up to a small Class C motorhome - in which she uses the corner bed queen and I use the overhead cab queen. We don't "make" the corner bed. We keep a fitted zip-on sheet on a 3 inch mattress topper on top of the corner bed ... this is not hard to unzip/remove/reinstall at all after periodic laundering of the fitted sheet. - JanssExplorer IIUsed to have one. We used a Travasak, now known as Superbag, for bedding. Basically a queen sized sleeping bag with zippers on both sides and sheets that velcro in.
Yes, the inside person must climb over to get in or out of bed. It was somewhat bothersome, but we just tried to get in and out at the same time...even when getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Didn't always work out though. Eventually, I started getting cramps in my leg while trying to climb over. Was glad to get another motorhome with walkaround queen. - darsben1ExplorerDepends on your age and how frisky your DW will get when she climbs over you. At 20-35 years old it was fun at 67 not so much
- neschultzExplorerOurs works fine for us. I'm 5'11" and sleep on the outside. I enjoy having the wall beside me and at my feet. My wife is 5'4" and sleeps on the bathroom side with the rounded corner. So when she gets up during the night, there is no climbing over and it doesn't even wake me. I never get up in the night but do occasionally go to bed after her but that usually doesn't require a crawl over so it's not a problem. We do keep a hassock at the end of the bed that makes getting in and out easier. We use a fitted sheet on the bottom and loose blanket/s on top. I'm 68 and she's....... a few years younger. The only bed I think I'd like better is the one that lowers from the ceiling.
- LetsRVExplorerSorry but wouldn't even consider a corner bed: Difficult to make and sheets/blankets don't fit, short on one side, the climb over thing, and generally only barely a full size mattress (if that).
Did kinda like darsben age difference response though. :) - The_LogansExplorerIt was EXTREMELY annoying...
- stripitExplorerOur first rv had one, we were so excited to get that trailer never gave a thought to the corner bed. After the first night we knew we made a mistake. Kept that trailer about 2 months and sold it for a unit with a walk around bed. Never ever going back to that kind of bed. Someone was made to wake up during the night when one or the other got up. Very difficut to make and sheets were custom fit to contour the way the bed was made.
- Snowman9000ExplorerOur corner bed is a full 60x80 queen. More than half of the 60 inch foot is open. The person on the outside has to clamber over the foot of the bed, more so than over the other person. It's not a big deal for us, but I'm sure it depends a lot of the person's physical fitness.
It lets us have a nice big permanent bed in a small RV. In our list of must haves for the next RV, a walkaround bed is not a high priority at all. In a perfect world, we would have two twins that double as lounging areas. - Horizon170Explorer
