Morning, how exciting, thought I’d just share our experience - we had our first van in 2012 after 2 years of looking, a Bessacarr with U shaped loung. 6 berth. Absolutely loved it. On one of our first trips we left the New Forest campsite early and parked up on a beachside car park in Dorset. Made scrambled eggs on toast for family breakfast, all sat in rear lounge looking out the windows at the fab views and couldn’t understand why anyone would not have a rear lounge. Its a moment that engraved in my motorhoming memory.
We now have a Burstner with fixed rear beds (be glad when kids start stopping home so we can have the posh part of the van) and drop down bed over dinette.
Times & needs change and I do agree that comfort wise our current beds far outweigh the one we made up from the lounge. We had mattress topper, which then has to be stored somewhere. It got to the point when out and about or weather good and not actually in the van a lot we just left the bed made up anyway!! Just beware of damp. We were aware of Swift damp problems and kept an eye on our underfloor however this did not prevent a £2.5k bill to have it fixed after 5 years.
Absolutely love our current van but would still change a couple of things if we bought it again but the more perfect it is for your needs the more pricey it seems to become. Same as everything, maybe small compromises. No compromises on the lifestyle though, freedom to stay or move on from good / not so good places. It’s a adventure - can’t wait to start travelling again.
Enjoy the searching too, love it...
Take care.
