| Custom sleeper with large beds require the bed to be across the rear | ||
 |
Arguably, Custom Sleepers with Rear beds take better advantage of the square inches of space a sleeper occupies. There is room for a larger bed, they don't have as much aisle, so the space is doing something else. Rear bed sleepers simply fill up the sleeper length more efficiently... | |

| Because if a bed is crossways across the back, then a large shower and a large refrigerator can be across from each other and a counter and a wardrobe closet can be across from each other... all in about 110 inches (with a 48" bed)... at 120" there is room for a full or queen* sized bedTo get the same sized larger shower and refrigerator in a back door design requires a minimum of 120" sleeper and it is impractical to put a bunk wider than 42" as it becomes too wide for the aisle. | Trucks to Retire With | |
| Custom sleeper home page | *most beds are combo designs, in that a bed often folds up into the wall and a table top then folds from the bed underside. This means there is a limit to the bed width if it converts into a table... the limit is usually around 50", depending on the amount of room high on the wall that the bed folds into. Water heaters and water tanks are typically under one or both ends of the bed so the bottom edge of a folded up bed is already 20 or so inches from the floor, so adding the 20" to say 48" and you see that the bed starts taking up a lot of room when folded up. Thus the practical limits on bed width when sharing the same space with a table / booth arrangement.
