My last C, a 26' Jamboree, was what was known as the "party plan". It had a couch, two swivel chairs (with a pull out table between them), and a dinette, along with a full width rear bath; the only dedicated bed was the overhead. The layout gave us tons of living/seating area (could easily seat 9 even without the swivel cab seats) for the "party", yet still had a dedicated bed (the crow's nest, as some have called it). The dinette made into a bed (albeit for short people) and the couch pulled into a bed, so we could sleep 6.
DW & I slept up top, and when our kids came along they would use the couch and dinette. It took only a minute to set up/take down those beds, but it was kind of a pain to make sure everyone was up in order to make breakfast, and of course the party had to move outside if they wanted to go to bed early.
Overall, we loved the layout, since the dedicated floor space for "living" was larger than with a floor level bed. Although we now have an A, I believe that one of the advantages of a C is that the overhead bed allows more of the floorspace to be used for "living" as opposed to sleeping, as long as you are physically able to climb up & down every night.
