Hello,

Just a simple question. In the 25FB Queen, how many cm we have between the bottom of the bed and the wall of the window?

Thanks for your help.

Roughly 58 cms for from the base of the bed frame to the wall.

[PhilouCerise]

Thanks Mister Aluminium. 57 cm... So tight !

An other question for the owners with twin beds. How many centimeters do you have between the two frames of two beds. I want to replace the night table by a desk.

Thanks

We have a 2015 25fb twin. I just went out and measured the distance along the front of the nightstand with the underbed storage doors in the open position. The distance between the bedframes is exactly 36".

Our 2018 FC 25 FBT is in storage, so I can't measure the distance but 36 inches sounds about right. We thought we wanted a queen, but found the twin used in 2020 and really enjoy it. We think the TB is much better than the queen. Very easy for either of us to exit the bed to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.

[PhilouCerise]

Thanks

91 cm... It's very good. It's perfect to add a desk.

I prepare the screwdriver, the wood and my traditional handsaw. Before I need to make a Autocad drawing.

Thank you again

Until you hug a freezing cold Aluminum skin with a pen to the world outside locker exposed to heat and cold yea we had that been there tied it from 20 degrees to 120 degrees. Sold it now a new Airsteam living the with tight edges and very comfortable queen bed.

Remember that day we said oh my twins how light and bright and open. Three days into our first trip I heard across the isle well these are horrible.

Just another thought on the subject…
I haven’t measured the space on side or bottom of our queen but we’ve had the twin beds previously and now have the queen. Had heard owners say the queen is a difficult configuration but we love ours. Of course, we also loved our twins although they were in a longer trailer so more space every way around. Not sure why some find the queen not to their liking as we don’t really mind. Maybe the fact that we just use a comforter as bedspread it’s pretty easy to make the bed. The bottom fitted sheet will challenge my stretch but so did the rounded and square corners when making the twin beds and with those I had to repeat that challenge for two beds. As far as getting up at night I think I just acclimated to sitting then scooting to bottom so as not to wake hubby. Not a problem for us and we are decades past 50 so if we manage I have to giggle when I read others comments that they cannot get in/out. Yes, we miss the long visual open space between the twins but with the queen we have less “wasted” floor space, or perhaps unused floor space might be a bette way to put it. And it is nice not rolling over into a chilly or warm aluminum wall.

FWIW, I think many sweat the small stuff instead of just addressing concerns about more important cares.

I totally agree. Twin beds were a non-starter for my wife and I. We are really enjoying the queen bed and have a hard time understanding all the complaints and negative comments about it. It is very comfortable. I sleep on the window side and also find it easy to simply scoot down to the bottom to get out of bed. We use a Beddy’s one-piece unit, which allows us to easily make the bed. Definitely count us in the queen bed camp!

The cold of Aluminium. I didn't think about it but If a a include a small desk in the bedroom I think the only solution is the 27 Twin. With queen in the 25 or 27 it will be difficult...

I do not know what your exact plan is, but if you choose the desk option, wouldn’t you have two separate work areas: the dinette table and the desk?

Matière à réflexion.

Aluminized Bubble insulation works well to buffer against the " Cold Aluminum"; others use it for windows against heat and cold. We use it when temps outdoors fall into the low 50s or 40s. Bought a roll at Home Depot and keep it stored under one of the beds. cut to 10" wide just nicely drops between the mattress and wall to hold it in place while sleeping. I just pull the comforter over my hands!

Yes I thought of the dinette to work but I don't want to remove all the material every time I eat. Grease on documents is not great!!!

In 2022 the man is no longer the only one to have an office. But of course, the dinette remains the ultimate solution. To meditate!

Thanks

Do you have a picture to see the problem and the solution?

Thanks

+1 for the Queen bed. No brainer.

[PhilouCerise]

I like to take up all the space in my bed. This may be the headache here with mom.

+1 for the twin bed. Even if i'm all wet against the wall in the morning I refuse to work on the queen...

At this rate I think there will be a battle to take the only office of this Flying Cloud 27 Desk Option.

I feel that soon you were told me that on the new F150s there is an Interior Work Surface option.

[Mullers]

There is another option. Consider a vintage trailer and create your own floor plan that suits your needs.

Don’t get me wrong it’s going to be a lot of effort. And will take time ( we bought ours 2 years ago and it should be ready in the next month). And if you outsource it it might cost you more than an equivalent new one.
But it will be custom to your needs, which may let you get what you need into a 25’, which per your other threads may enable some easier choices on tow vehicles and more

I have a sideways queen, but would seriously consider twins.
As far as cold aluminum, yes. But a simple solution would be to have an upholsterer or marine cushion maker do a closed cell foam(Polyethylene) pad 1" thick x 2' x 7' or whatever you need. Try a Yoga pad first! Have it covered in matching fabric as your beds or Sunbrella, and attach it to the wall with snaps or velcro or just lean it there.

Remember the night stand drawer sits on top of the front trunk.

Yep, what he said!

We use a “one piece “ bedding set from RV Bedbag. After 45 years sleeping together the last thing we want to do is sleep separately. Had a 19’ Carsvelle with a corner bed and my shoulder froze against the aluminum wall unless I put a blanket between me and the wall. Cold in summer from air conditioning and cold in winter because it’s winter.
