Opinions on Twin Beds vs Fold Down Couch

[lucytravel12]

Still searching for a new camper. Just missed out on a good one, should have moved faster 😞 We think we would prefer the twin beds. Our thinking is that we'd like to be able to keep the beds made up for sleeping so we don't have to fool with the sheets, blankets, etc. every morning and night. We figured we'd keep the linens on the beds all the time, and put a comforter on top for sitting on during meals, for relaxing, etc.

We're thinking with the fold-out couch we'll have to make up the beds every morning and night. If you use the couch and davenports as twins (U-shaped), how do you work our the linens?

Looking online, there aren't very many LTV Free Spirits with twin beds available. Is it worth it to keep watching and waiting???

We leave our sofa down and made up into a bed almost all the time. We have two twin 2" memory foam toppers so it is very comfortable. The nice thing about the power sofa is we can run it up a bit to use as a lounger when reading or watching TV. We can remove the center pad and set it up as 2 twins if we want to as well. So for us the sofa works best.

if your fold out couch is a jack knife sofa, it will not be comfortable to sit or sleep on. my first Class A had twin beds. when you rolled over against the wall in cool weather it was a rude awakening. almost ordered a TC with twins and the salesman recommended not having the middle nightstand screwed down so a potential purchaser could just move the twins together and make a king out of them.

I like the twin beds. They double as sofas. We use a 1/2" pad covered in a twin sheet. We roll it up with the sheet on it if we need a sofa. Most of the time we just eat from the front seats during heavy rain and outside at a picnic table in good weather or a light rain while using a portable cover. The outdoors is much nicer than staying cooped up in a B all the time. Bs are great for sleeping comfortably without heat or mosquitoes. The rest of the time is usually outside.

This is a PW Lexor TD- front seats swivel.

can also sit on the bed if wanted.

Shan tends to sit up on the bed to read or watch TV...I tend to sit in the swiveled pass seat...then I am out of her way if she is doing something in the galley.

as in the post below- make use of outdoors space- we carry a couple of folding chairs and have an awning- but usually we have a spot with a picnic table and rig up our hammock

I'm interested to hear the answers to this as well.

If you leave it made up as a "king", where do you sit to eat, relax, etc.?

we have twins- with fillers in the middle to make a "king"...( an RV king that is).

we leave made up as a bed.

the sofa model ( winnie era) we tested was lumpy to the point where a mattress topper would be needed.
