Any mfg'r make a TT with a single twin bed? Looking to solo RV and don't need a big bed.I'm seeing models with two twins but none with one. I suppose I could rip one out but would rather not do that. Also would prefer the bed to run the width of the trailer rather than along one of the long walls to provide more floor space.Thanks.

No, the short queen is small enough for most.

Not going to say no there isn't.Most likely you will find what you seek in extremely small trailers like a TAB.In reality, RVs are designed and built for a wide audience, a single twin bed is not a wide audience.You are going to find multiple twins, one full size and one twin one queen and several twins and so on in larger trailers.As far as a bed running the full length of the wall, might find something like that in a "lite" trailer. Lite trailers are a bit more narrow in width than standard trailers.Typically in RVs the bed length IS short and finding any bed in standard home lengths is almost impossible.Even the so called twin beds are not as wide as your home bed, so a FULL size bed is a bit closer to what you seek.Home twin is about 40" wide, RV twins are on the order of 32-34 wide or about what a home couch depth is.Keep in mind, many trailers the dinette table drops to make a bed, that also is counted as a bed, in your case, ignore the table bed..

Not sure how small you were looking for, there is the little Flagstaff e-pro E16BH which has 30x74 bunks across the rear, and a good sized u shaped dinette in the front.Edit addThe R-pods also have several with a 42" bunk.

I rv solo also, and I've looked around quite a bit for a lone 'twin size' bed. The closest thing I've found is the 17' Escape which has dinettes both front and back. In the bathroom model (17B) the front dinette is 30" wide, which would suit me fine as a full-time bed.I think the T@B was mentioned... one floor plan has a U dinette, which could possibly be used as a bed on the rear section of the U (across the back) while still keeping 2 seats, 1 on either side.Most TTs are built to cater to a wide variety of potential customers (which is good for resale later on, too). Solo travelers are a fairly narrow band of potential buyers.Of course, a cargo trailer could be built out in any configuration one desired (within space constraints, naturally) either by a handy person or by a specialty company. You could have exactly the layout and features you'd like.

Slides or no-slides?Length?The Escape 19 may work. The mfg will let you flip the bed and dinette. Make the front dinette into a small bed and the large rear bed a U-dinette.Also a small Toy Hauler may work, put in a Futon or whatever you want in the floor space.

Nash 22H.

Excellent choice.

Also take a look at sister company Outdoors RV Black Rock 18DB, "best of both worlds use of small space".

They also list the same trailer with a murphy/sofa bed, but I didn't see any for sale. 177FK

I like that Retro too. They have their own Forum. You could always put a thick carpet down under the bed and buy a better Twin Mattress...then on the sides put a little night stand with the extra space saved by the narrow twin mattress.

All good choices.

Here in Ontario we have a custom coach builder Taylor Coach which has been in business since 1967 and specializes in smaller sized custom designs and yes, they do ship to customers in the US. As they say in their advertising - "Various layouts available to meet your needs please contact us." :B

Taylor Coach shows a 10 ft model that says single bed, not single beds. I wonder if it truly has just one single? Worth checking out.

My TT ( 2012 Funfinder 189FDS ) has a east-west rv queen, and came with a drop down bunk above that. I travel solo. I gave some thought to removing the bed, and just using the fold down bunk.

It would have opened up some floor space up front, but would have turned the pass thru storage into floor space. Had I done that, I would have bought a cab high cap for the truck to use as space for the junk that is currently in the storage area of the trailer.

I suppose I could modify the existing bed to make it just a twin, but it would only open up a few sq ft of space.

Getting a factory built custom layout is likely going to be pricey, so I would think it would be more cost effective to find something close to what you want, then modify to suit.

Indeed!

Thanks everyone for your replies.

Some beds "convert" into a couch or seating.

Our first TT was a 1980s 20 ft Terry Taurus, the one bed ran across the front and when not being used as a bed during the day it folded up to make a long couch.

The previous owner in their wise wisdom removed the fold up mechanism and dropped a 3/4" sheet of plywood across..

I removed the full sheet plywood, made a small cabinet to fill in the space a bit then made a removable section of plywood that allowed me to turn that back into a couch for daytime. Used a trifold foam futon which allowed to be folded up for couch..

It also had a twin bunk bed over that bed that folded up for day time and down for night.. I ended up just removing that bunk due to severe water damage..

Then the dinette also could make into a twin bed.

Looking for a single bed RV in anything over 16-17ft is not going to be easy, most trailers in that size will have at least two to three beds.

For a single twin your most likely will be looking at the small trailers like TAB (14ft or smaller, think canned ham or teardrop style) which are primarily designed for ONE person or a extremely close "couple".

Like I said, you need to go and look at the RVs on the lot, sometimes things are not obvious from the manufacturers brochures..

As mentioned, the Escape 17' trailer has a two dinette floorplan. One dinette is a 4 seat dinette width wise at the front that can turn into a double bed. The other dinette is a 2 seat dinette width wise at the back that turns into a single bed. Both dinettes are 74" long. Single is between 30 & 38" wide; double is 5 2" wide.
