Where are the twin beds nowadays? I love my wife but I toss and turn. DW is a light sleeper. She goes to bed at 9, I go closer to 11. She gets up at 6, I sleep to 7:30 - you get the picture.And how about folks who travel with siblings, adult children or close friends? (I have several friends I love to camp with but we ain't that kind of friends, ya know?)We were at the RV show here in Richmond and nary a trailer, 5th wheel classC or A had twin beds. Airstream had the only trailer with twin beds. DW is close to dropping the cash for a bed of her own.Trailers have option lists longer than a politician's nose, but twin beds have become extinct. Surely I'm not the only guy (or gal) out here who would have chosen that option.Teach

I think you're right- other than a Sabre that had 2 master bedrooms (one at each end), I don't recall another setup that had multiple equal beds (lots of bunks, but they're hardly equal!).If it's important to you, you should be able to rip out the beds in the bedroom and rebuild it to suit.

Yea, kind of makes you wonder how Lucy and Ricky had little Ricky don't it. The sexual revolution of the '60s sure got rid of the twin bed concept, didn't it!Nay an RV that I'm aware of.

I believe you can get class Bs with twin beds. Otherwise, you are usually looking at a dedicated queen and a convertible bed.Casita has an option of twin beds. If you want bigger, you might look at bunk models - some may allow you to fold the upper bunks away, leaving the two lower bunks.You might also look at the DIY/mod board for folks who have replaced the standard queen bed with twins.

The problem is that two twin beds are as wide, or wider, than a king. Would require a larger bedroom to have any room between beds without givng up other useable room there. And space is already at a premium. Probably just not enough demand to justify makng a model to accomodate them.

Sorry, I disagree with the need for twin beds for what should be obvious reasons. :W

We're the opposite. Penny sleeps in the dinette (our sofa has an inflatable mattress) because she's up at the crack o' dawn.

Riverside Retro had a twin bed option in the past. I recently saw another trailer with the designation tb which did have twin beds, unfortunately I do not remember the brand. I can see lots of situations where twin beds would be more practical than a queen. I expect the option is available, but not super popular so dealers don't keep them on the lot.

Call Northwood and build your own Silver Fox 32 ft. You can get a hide-a-bed for the slideout. We have a 32 and have never regretted anything except when the guy pulled alongside us with the 46 ft Bluebird worth around 1.5 million. Then I realized, "Ours is paid for!" It has been warm in an Ohio Blizzard for 3 days and 4 degrees in Branson.

Call Northwood and have them custom build a Arctic Fox. We have one in N VA and we love it. Very heavy so you need a 3/4-1 ton big engine. I will never buy anything else. We slept in a Ohio Blizzard and 4 degrees in Branson with out problems.the Arctic Fox Silver Fox 32A has a hideabed option.

I also would like to see twin bed options. I occasionally box in my sleep and have come frighteningly close to injuring my wife; to the point that I piled pillows between us for a time. In addition, if I use the trailer when attending a rifle match with a buddy, I would like to be able to offer a bed rather than a couch (we thought about buying a bunk model for this reason but really didn't want what would generally be wasted space). I quite like the top picture posted by FrankShore. GD

Hybrid. You can each have your own queen bed.

X2 on the memory foam topper.

We have a 3" thick one that we just bought, and it completely deadens any movement. One partner could flop around like a salmon all night long and the other wouldn't even know.

Another idea; My wife has restless leg syndrome and often spends the night kicking every 16 seconds (I've laid there and timed it!). A really good mattress may isolate those movements enough that you don't bother each other.
