We originally put a deposit on one with the u-shaped couch, but with further consideration changed to the electric sofa model. The U-shaped comes with more outside storage than the other including a small pass-through area but was not as comfortable to sit on as it might look. The other negative with that set-up is the location of the tv up front. If one person is watching tv, anyone else doing anything around the coach (cooking, using bathroom) would constantly be blocking their view. I would have to turn up the volume sitting that far away.
The electric sofa model, with a smaller tv in the back allows one person to sit close and watch without affecting what your co-occupant might want to do. We lost some outside storage but gained a bunk bed which we will use for storage. It was the only way to carry 2 nice folding chairs (other than those chairs in a bag)
The distance on either model from the back to the end of the seating area(beginning of galley) is 60". Both beds when converted are 60" by 80".
Another advantage of the electric sofa is the flexibility to partially recline it to suit your taste or slide it forward to provide a lot of storage behind it. So for someone going camping they could store anything they would be removing when they got to their campsite. It would have to be removed before you could turn it into a bed.
