Hi me again;
Okay no measurements yet but here are some pics as I realized I never took any of the curbside single made up.
A couple of design notes - this is factory original - we have seen this side panel also as a slide out section rather than the flip up style. The square flat leg you see that rests on the ground - is what flips down on a loaded spring and slides back up to form a V in the hollow you see in one of the pics. The panel is then held in place by the infamous white latch - which cost an arm and a leg if you break them.
Also note that we have not finished the restoration and the back rest has not been re-attached to its original position. The short back rest does not sit along the side of the wall as pictured (however it is much mor comfortable and warmer!) it is actually hinged to the wood panel mounted on the wall - there is a snap that holds that panel up and snaps to a snap on the under side of the oval window.
Lastly the filler cushion is stored in the shelf behind the table and the table is usually in its full down position but can also be left part way up as well. The filler cushion is snaped to two snaps that were screwed into the base bench pictured with two blue strapes - that replaced the original hard clear plastic strapes. You can sleep either way head to front or head to back.
The other single is pictured left in Couch/Nook mode. We added the big cushions because well the factory back rest would give you a major back ache in about 3 seconds. And for short legged people the bench is pretty wide so the fancy cushions really came in handy.
You can also see by the door picture that there is plenty of room to get by and out the door if need be.
We only slept in the singles twice and they were the best nights sleep we had - as neither of us had to share the bed with the dogs
Hope these help..if you want measurements let me know.
PS Janet how do you like this pre 70's fabric - kinda cool really but they are tired and we will be continuing to reupholster them with the blue suede.

We realized that the pads pull down, and you pull the seat boards out, but they do not meet in the middle. That only formed part of the beds. The table folds up toward the window, not down toward the bed, to make a bridge to form a double. And the end caps of the dinette seats come out, with folded wood frames, they accordian under the seat when not pulled out. The extra pads fit in this new open space forming two single beds. Instead of the seats sitting flat they are tipped back toward the window, so they never lay flat when down. I will try to post a picture, tomorrow when I have the camera at home.
