Permanent bed v drop down bed - A-class type

We looked very closely at the Chausson 610 which only has a drop down bed, but because it is a low profile it drops down over the salon area, which puts that area completely out of action. So when one of you wants to go to bed/ get up, you both have to. If you go for an 'A' class the bed will drop down over the driver and passenger seats leaving the salon free. So the 610 got booted out and we have now gone back to an 'A' class with fixed rear transverse bed with a drop down at the front (only with that because that is how it comes). And the weapon of choice for us is a Dethleffs Globebus i8 and only 6.65 meters long as well. But, and a big but, they are expensive and very difficult to find S/H.

The drop-down bed in my Hymer is as easy to get into as getting up the steps through the door into the van. But I guess a real overcab bed is a lot higher than that.

Thanks Hairydog, that's encouraging. Do you use it for 2 people? if so how do you find the access out from the inside in the night if needed?
 
I agree

Just checkout the interior "space" as well as all the obvious given it is ebay !

Hi ya,
I take it you've looked at Towing your Scooter, OR rear Mounting it in a specialist Frame Annie !.
This would unlock LOTS of vehicle Layout & Cost choices for you !

We have towed it in the past but it does become a bit of a ball ache in some of the wildingdpots I use my choice is buy a boot scooter that limits where I can go or stick out for a van like hipsters wildAx where the bed folds to one side Adria also do one too but it's getting one at the right price.
