replace twin beds in rear bedroom

[femuse]

Hi,

we have just bought a 1990 32' Excella to replace our 1974 29'. Before moving in it, we have a few modifications to make.

The 1st project will be to change from twin beds to double. Stripping the existing bedroom looks like a no-brainer. The problem seems to be how to position the bed to have clearance around it, not whack our heads on the cabinets and mostly to be able to get into the bedroom without too much contortion.
It looks like the mattresses they put in are longer than the traditional 3/4 full that we have on our 1974. A shorter mattress will help some.
I know several people have remodeled the bedroom, and we would love to hear from them. Which way did you orient the mattress, and mostly: if you had to do it again, what would you change ?

Thank you for your input.
