Searching for coaches with drop down beds?

We have a 2004 Safari Trek and love it! The drop down bed is very comfortable.

Our only concern is finding a 'step-up' to get in and out of the bed since we're not getting any younger! Any ideas out there?

Thanks Nike...sounds like a nice rig that fits y'all well!

We have an '03 Holiday Rambler Traveler...

31' - Ford F53 chassis V-10... 1 street-side slide

It has a rear lounge with the bed that drops over the couches...

We love it, & really like not hauling around a bedroom all the time...

Go to RVtrader & search for it... there's several around in nice shape...

Just searched for one...the rear lounge is very nice and has a large 5'er look/feel to it. Is bed comfortable and can you raise it with bed made (covers, pillows, etc.)?

We have a comforter & pillows on ours... it goes 'almost' all the way up with the pillows there... certainly high enough to use that way... I'm 6'4", & it is fine... you're gonna sit down back there anyway...

if we want it all the way up, we just put the pillows in the drawer that is built into the rear couch...

I really like this layout, as I get up before my DW... I can make coffee & set at the table & read or use the laptop, & she can roll over & keep snoozin'...

There is a privacy curtain in the front 'cab' area... we pull that of course, & use that for a dressing area, as the front seats swivel to face the isle... there's lots of room up there...

if we're parked so the front has a nice view, I'll take my coffee up there & sit in the early morning...

a cool thing that the Traveler has is, two switches that you can reach from the bed... one turns off the dash radio (that plays throughout the coach), and the other one turns off all of the ceiling lights at once... very handy...

Carl,
I have owned 2 Safari Treks. A 24ft 1995 and a 28ft 1998. Beautiful units. The Trek is solid and well built. Cabinetry is solid wood. It does have the feel and luxury of large Diesel pushers in a short motorhome. Check out Trek Tracks. It is a forum for Trek owners.

Thanks everyone for all the great leads....I'll be busy checking them out while waiting for my NADA Appraisal book to come!

The following Winnebago models have drop down beds:Sightseer-Vista-Via-Forza. The corresponding Itasca coaches also have drop down beds.

I love that drop down bed idea on the Trek and I wish there were some floor plans in larger motorhomes that had that. Basically your motorhome is either all livingroom or all bedroom depending on where you put the bed, instead of two separate rooms. I realize everybody may not like that concept, but I do but I'd like it in at least a 35 foot motorhome.

Holiday Rambler(2003-2008) had models similar to the Safari Trek when they were all being produced by Monaco.
