Our 2007 Phoenix Cruiser
HERE has a tight rear corner bed. It is surely not ideal but has been working for us. My wife sleeps against the outside wall, me on the inside. When she has to get up, I get up first. I love to hang a foot over the edge of the bed so that cut corner you see there works to my favor. The bed is on the smaller side which is confining, but since we cuddle a lot, it is tolerable. We're not big people either.
One thing we learned about our rear corner bed is not to have a fluffy comforter. The down-filled fluffy comforter in the pictures is gone. The less fluffy, the easier it is to crawl around on the bed to get under the sheets. We do like flannel sheets and don't give up that slight fluff.
One day I will replace the foam mattress with a more firm one (maybe memory foam) to further ease getting in and out from the bed.
The reduced size rear corner double bed works, it's not great, it just works. It is the one area we had to compromise some to get an otherwise fully practical motor home that fits inside our limited size garage. Our rig measures 23'-8" end-to-end.
I suppose a lot of how you look at it depends on where you are coming from. We went from a tent to
THIS which we owned for 24 years. We always slept on the dinette converted into a bed which was smaller than today and just as confining. We kept the dinette as a bed all the time so we never had a place to eat at. We crawled over it to get up front. The upper bunk was so much tighter, ridiculous for 2 adults, fine for the kids. At age 25 it was great. At age 49 it was torture.
