I've always figured that as long as you are able and willing to climb up into the crows nest, bed over the cab, a full time bed down is wasted floor space.

I think it's about having a layout that fits.

Above a poster mentioned they have no problem using the dinette and the cabover. But if they didn't have the cabover - just the dinette - would it still work?

I love having the cabover because it allows me a dedicated bed. The TT I had before had the dinette and a couch only. Fortunately, the couch was positioned so that I could leave it as a bed and still be able to get around. I've seen other layouts where that would not be doable.

Toad Toes, no it would not work just to have the dinette
As far as the " crows nest as folks call it" my suggestion, buy a better ladder. We have one of those collapsible ladders, wide rungs very stable. I hope to continue to be able to climb four stair rungs for a very long time.

This is what I do not get, lets say you have been married 20, 30 40 years like us (44 years) Why do you have to sleep in the same bed? Don't get it. We have the same bed at home and would not change that.
But for 2 weeks on vacation? And BTW if one wants some romance the dinette works fine.

And as I said above, we are on vacation, DW wants to stay up and read, cool, I want to turn in early cool, one has to get up to use the facilities cool. Kind of nice in a lot of ways
