We became friends with a nurse we met camping. One day we met for lunch on our way to a camping trip and she looked at our old 24-ft Class C across the parking lot. She said we should get out of the cabover bunk. Seen too many elderly whose retirements were ruined by one bad fall.
We took that advice and got our 31-ft with rear queen. Then one of us had a back injury that triggered a cascade of problems. Can't climb like that anymore, at age 70 but at least we have a coach we can continue to use.
In a Class C, we wanted a bed that was a full time bed. Not something that had to be configured every night and torn down every morning. The cabover met that requirement. So does a rear bed. Dinette, sofabed, etc. don't. If we'd had a corner bed down, probably would have kept the coach, but the things are a pain to make up, and only one person gets in and out easily.
At 70+, agility isn't going to improve with age.
