Lack of sleep options

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.

    Close to Airstream $ tho.
  • Sorry, I disagree with the need for twin beds for what should be obvious reasons. :W
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 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.
