i just close the curtains to hide the fixed bedI'm surprised that no one has mentioned the time it takes to straighten out the covers on most fixed bed layouts.
The bed in our motorhome is visible during the day, and makes the interior look very untidy, unless it is remade, ready for use.
I find that this easily takes as much time as making up the bed in our previous van, although, having said that, the fixed bed is great for my afternoon nap.

I think that is another factor about beds you have to make up. Some are made up of several mattresses stuck together. Our beds aren't like this, each is one complete single mattress - and very comfortable!Hired a m/home a few years ago before we owned one, had to make the bed and take it down everyday. Cor what a bloody caddle put us off m/homes altogether and made up beds are all lumps and bumps No Thanks. Would never own a m/home without a fixed bed either over garage or over cab both are brilliant imo, rather sleep in my tent than make up lumpy sofas.
Each to their own though.

I do like the look of the beds that drop down over the lounge (Chausson Best of 10 and whatever they call the new similar configuration on the Fiat base) and that might be the type we go for at some time in the future as it combines the both of best years.

The chausson we have put a deposit on has a drop down bed, and no nicknic, it doesn't obstruct the door or more important the early morning cuppa making. That was the first thing I checked, I'm now freting that the bed comes down far enough, cause I couldn't sleep in the old over the cab bed, too claustrophobic !

Fixed bed every time for me. Like to take a snooze in the afternoon and great when travelling overnight to just pull up for a couple of hours. Mine is in a panel van so what you loose in living floor space is made up for with the much needed storage. Also can open up the rear doors to assist in fitting the sheet.
There's still the bunk beds at the back.There is a lot to be said for being able to have an afternoon snooze and on the way crab a couple of hours without having to make bed .
No such thing as wasted space
Fixed bed above garage , scooter in the garage , tow car on the back , fibreglass dingy on the roof of tow car, beer in fridge, a roast in the oven and it's good to go , and a lounge up front to lounge in
