Rigs with twin beds like the Via
My wife loves the Winnie VIA 25, both it and our "A" have them and I was wondering if any small C's from say the 2005 era had twins. We started using separate beds years ago when we were traveling, b...

There were 28-30 foot rear-queen floor plans from Coachmen, FourWinds, Winnebago and maybe Forest River and Gulfstream that had a rear-twin or rear-single option, moving the wardrobe between the beds. These were almost always no-slide in that era, and were sold mostly into the rental market.
Some actually had bunks, four beds in the back, usually the narrower single rather than twin. Often, the longer single used for barracks and hospital bedding.
Of course, these aren't "small" for a C. You need 28' length to install permanent full-length fore-aft beds in the back, have full bath and a reasonable kitchen, and have both sofa and dinette up front. This was all something the "family of 6-8" rental market required.
Anything smaller I've seen with separate beds, the beds were convertible space. In addition to the cited Phoenix Cruiser and LazyDaze floorplans, there was at least one BT Cruiser floorplan with two sofas converting to two beds, and there may have been one in Forest River's Lexington line. I remember seeing them because we were looking at that coach size, trying to find a queen.
You may also find some B van conversions with a pair of fore-aft single beds (converting from seating). I remember seeing these in somebody's conversions of the first generation Sprinter, which had the length to do it, and was slightly narrow to try fitting a full-length bed east-west. Airstream Interstate had a twins model for sure, and maybe F-R's MB-Cruiser. The Gulfstream Cruisers I remember had cutouts above the belt line to install a bulge that let them install a full or queen crosswise.
