Are twin beds for old people?

[davidathomas42]

So i'm still searching for an A Class to full time in for a year+. Only a few weeks away from the house selling so need to get cracking.

I really like the rear island beds as you can get in and out both sides and they have nice little wardrobes either side.

The twin beds however seem to either be more popular as the majority for sale are twins. Or everyone bought them and hates them hence more for sale ?

I cant see why anyone would want twins as I definitely dont want to sleep that close to a guest should I have one. If i'm by myself I can star out in the bed and I still sleep entwined on the current girl at night when she's with me.

So my thinking is that twins are for old people that dont "cuddle" anymore ;-)
Or am I missing something here that everyone else has worked out from owning them longer?

Prefer twins and that is what we hunted out and was in are early 40s when we bought it.

Wardrobes are for the old people not single beds. Who wants a wardrobe these days.

Most twins also have "the love cushion" that goes in the middle.

If I bought a van with single beds I would very quickly only need one of them and I would be a lot poorer

I like a wardrobe to hang my shirts in

lol me... I was thinking work uniform in one side and dress shirts in the other.. Im 45

I was under the impression that Germans preferred that layout. And lots of vans, particularly high end ones, are German.

Do you carry your ‘love cushion’ or is it discarded in a spare room at home?

LOL... Nice double island bed for us...
We Burstner owners know what it's all about..

 

[RowleyBirkinQC]

We chose twin beds because of the versatility and large garage. Still get ‘wardrobe’ hanging space if that’s important to you.

Not an A class but having the choice of decent sized singles or a large double in our coachbuild works best for us.
The double saves on heating in the winter. After sharing a bed with management for forty two years a single bed feels strange. If I am away with our son we use the singles.

Last thing I’m thinking about is work whilst in my van.

I’ve converted my wardrobe to shelves.

Also most van doubles don’t allow for a proper size (height) man.

Burstner double for us , i wouldn’t even dare suggest singles !

Previous van had twin beds did not like them, when she snores you can't give them a dig in the ribs

You choose what layout suits your needs , we are all different with individual taste and needs.

Are motorhomes for old people?

 

[TheAleMan]

We are having singles in our next van that is on order with the option to turn it into a big double for those opportune nights if you get my drift.

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

My bed is big enough for 3 or 4

We always look for good wardrobes. I'm not old, only 79. Prefer double bed.

Not if Mrs CC don’t find out

Hired a double bed version and could never live with the central shower bog setup so hunted down our perfect layout of twin bed with full end bathroom. Still can't fault it and a twin bed fits 2 very snuggly

Long gone are the days we I could sleep thro without feeling the call of nature so it’s definitely twin beds for us otherwise it means trampling over each other multiple times during the night. Tried the bottle routine but this can be very tricky if you know what I mean!

You’ll start Chris off by talking like that!

 

[Folkranger]

With an A Class why take up 2 metres of the van with a bed when you have a perfectly good double at the front?

Much cooler for sleeping when hot.

 

[gus-lopez]

seperate rooms is far better.

 

[Orion]

Doesn’t have to be an A Class either - a decent sized double for us in our Adria Compact SC.

 

[Reallyretired]

We changed to singles as we both have to get up multiple times. We also don't sleep well so the twin beds with a wardrobe between allows one to read without disturbing the other.

 

[funflair]

The first van we bought had twin singles and we slept one night in it before I turned the bed bases and mattresses around to make a transverse double with a bit of room at the side for a cup of tea or discarded clothes, we put it back when we sold as the new keepers wanted twin singles.

The next van we ordered as twin singles just to get a big garage and I altered the bedroom straight away to make it a massive transverse and we had a new mattress made to suit.
