Drop down island bed over cab....

[BB103]

Looking for a coach built van, and would like a big front lounge, with bench seats facing each other, long enough to sit with your legs up, which then has a drop down island bed....any suggestions gratefully appreciated!

I think island beds are normally fixed, whilst drop downs occupy the space previously used for something else, eg cab seats or lounge seating.
BTW

No such thing!

Nearest I know is Frankia i640. But it is an A class,and not an island bed.but you can sleep longitudinaly

My hymer B544 has had the seats moved to become 2 large sofas and the bed drops down from over the cab. Plenty of room and works for us

Cheers Simon, I think Chausson did do that configuration years ago but alas no longer do! The best option we can find so fat is the Chausson 630 with longitudinal twin beds over the lounge, but we'd prefer a longitudinal double.

Thanks teddybear, I'll have a look at that.

Thanks Pete, that looks rather nice!

Think i read your post wrong . Dont Burstner do one but the lounge is at rear and bed drops down

Hi again Pete and thanks busy builder the B544 looks really nice, but when I looked closer just wondering if you can sleep long ways in the bed or is it just across the van?

 

[BusyBuilder]

BB103, don't worry about the size of the bed, I'm 6'5" and sleep across the van no problem, in the post 2011 vans the bed is kingsize.

Thanks for getting back to me again but was really wanting a longitudinal bed to save clambering over each other! Cheers

Look at the Frankia 640

Burstner 680g

We nearly bought but at the time went with dethleffs i6767, similar layout but overcab bed instead, meaning the lounge was still usable.

The only one I know about with that configuration is the Frankia i680SG which retails for c.£110,000 new, pics below.

All the best,
