We recently rented a 7m Burstner with rear bunks for the kids. Very nice and practical. But, we are currently considering a purchase and would like to understand how having a rear lounge instead makes life on the road any more enjoyable.
From what I can see, a lot of British builders do these (eg Swift Sundance 630). I am told that the rear lounge is a British phenomenon (maybe climate related!) with few foreign brands supporting this layout.
The only downsides I can see compared to bunks are: Smaller external storage locker, making the beds in the evening, possibly extra .5m length. For me, these don't compete with the upside of a large separate living space with great windows & views.
Does anybody have any opinions? I hope so.
