Question 1972 Sovereign sleeping arrangements

Hello.

Most of the photos I've seen of other 72s look virtually identical to mine. The one odd thing about mine is that there's only one single bed (on the door side.) Across are drawers and a sort of working/writing top with closets on each side. They are factory made as they match the other closets exactly. Does anybody know anything about this model? One would think such a big trailer would have two single beds besides the pull-out couch...

Thanks!

The one bed in the middle of the trailer is a double bed, sleeps two when pulled out.

IIRC, that "double" bed is 48"W, so the "two" that fit in there had better be r-e-a-l-l-y good friends...

OTOH, it would be real nice to have all that storage space, plus there's a nice space for a TV there, just in front of the window.

That's what spooning was invented for. Less room for conversation.

I have a similar lay out, but with a double closet to the rear and a dresser under the window.

Almost always sunny here unless there is a hurricane bearing down on you. And then it's time to hook up the burb and roll. So far I've been very lucky.

Thanks!

Thank you all for your response. I thought I was the only one with such a sleeping arrangement. I think somebody must have ripped off the double bed because there is just a mattress for a single bed. I'll check and see if there's a mechanism below it that turns the thing into a double. It would be nice to have enough room for two to spoon...
