Why so few Murphy beds ?
Especially on shorter (<22') trailers. It seems like a natural to me. Is it because you lose the under bed storage ?

Yes, people vote with their pocket book, but WHY ?
Probably because opening/closing a Murphy bed is as much fun as setting up and taking down a dinette or jackknife couch.
They're okay for occasional use but, if you need it every day it gets real old, real quick.
Actually, quite the contrary. I sell a lot of condos that have murphy beds. Counterbalanced properly, they are VERY easy to open, and close, and can be fully made up when closed, so they're immediately ready to sleep when opened up -- not so with a dinette conversion or jack knife sofa in an RV for sure!!
