70 to 80 years old ! with a class C
Is their any one that is 70 to 80 years old with a class C that sleeps in the over head bed ? is it hard to get in and out and for making up the bed. Thinking of going from a trailer to a small C 22/2...

In thirty years of owning RVs, we had one C with the bed overhead. I was in my early 40s then and found it to be a nuisance for our needs. We had another small C (24 feet) with two couches that made beds. We now have a Phoenix Cruiser less than 24 feet that is 93 inches wide and it is a dream. The corner bed works fine for us although it is a bit of a hassle and many folks won't touch them.
Personally, I would never consider an overhead bed but that is just personal preference. I also have found a direct relationship between hassle and length of the rig. A few extra feet brings lots of benefits but also increases problems in accessing parking, making tight turns and accessing fuel. Put a toad behind a 26 foot rig and you gotta really plan for pulling into get gas. Now, for a lot of folks the extra length is worth it but it is not for us.
Incidentally, we have owned three Bs and one Chevy 20 van we converted ourselves for traveling and occasionally overnighting. I suspect when we start having a few more infirmities that come from aging we will be back to a Class B van. Take a look at the Phoenix Cruiser 2100 for a possible interesting thought to your selection.
