Looking for Short, Used Class C with Island Bed

I should have said "shortest". From my research it looks like a 26-footer is the smallest Class C with an island bed.
  • You generally won't find an island bed on shorter models because it would require having the rear wheel wells in the walkway around the bed, which means either having a decidedly not flat floor there or having the whole floor raised up rather higher than usual.

    A few companies offer twin bed arrangements on shorter units, with a center walkway between the two beds. Possibly that could be an alternative that would work for you; possibly not. (Some further have available a filler bit available to convert the twin beds to a huge king bed with no walkway.)

    Nope. It has a 2-sided island bed like so . . .



    3-sided island beds (what I want) run along these lines (28' and longer) . . .

  • I remember a unit that had a folding rear bed that might have slid out??? maybe a winnie.

  • An island bed without it being inside a side-protruding slide out is a rare find these days. Being only 26 feet over-all length is even harder to find.

    I don't like a slide out located above or behind the rear axle because of the issues with weight distribution. I feel a centered walk-around queen bed without a rear slide out makes for an ideal bedroom in a class B+/C.
  • it's been years since I have been looking but 24 footers all had corner beds and you had to go to 26 ft for island
