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 ?

a murphy bed is NOT a couch. It's a regular bed that folds up against a wall. The one in my brothers winni has a very nice comfortable couch in front of the murphy bed, couch folds over, murphy bed comes down, easy access from either side, as comfortable as any short queen RV bed. Uses a typical RV short queen mattress.
you do give up underbed storage, but in a small trailer gain a nice couch in addition to the dinette.
Now a jacknife sofa, another story. doesn't usually make a good couch or good bed.
