Autosleeper Symbol: Bed layout

[@arthurkettle3010]

Great videos mate....straightforward and well explained - shame you don't do them anymore!...but thanks for making them - very useful 👍

[@dmhmotorhomehire7110]

Thank you Arthur, it's good to know they're still useful for people. We are still in the motorhome hire game, for now at least, so if there is anything not covered inour videos you want help with don't hesitate to ask. Freephone 0800 6444 199. Cheers, Peter and Jane

If you have Captain swivel seats in the front, you can turn these around to extend the length of the single bed layout for tall people.

[@Bulletguy07]

For a solo owner of a Duetto, the single bed layout can actually be made bigger by swivelling the passenger seat fully around so the seat squab butts up to bed when it's slid down. I use my Duetto this way as i have no need for the double.

[@thermaldog]

it looks like anyone over 5'8 cant straighten their legs in the bed, is this right?

[@Bulletguy07]

@@thermaldog I'm 5'9 and the way i used the single bed layout is as i described...i used to swivel the passenger seat around then butt the single seat up against the passenger seat which gives more length. As the Duetto is only 5.5m in overall length, internal space is at a premium so you do have to think carefully about what you fill it with!

[@thermaldog]

ok thanks

This is perfect 4me. I've had a 32' Class-A Mtr/Hm, and although I loved it, it comes with a whole slew of issues and limitations This is a shrunken version of a class A; the amenities without the bulk. I would love to find one when I retire in a yr or 2 and move to Italy as an ex-pat. 😊

[@dmhmotorhomehire7110]

You'll probably find one quite easily in a couple of years. We anticipate the market being flooded by then, because a lot of people who purchased them because of Covid will realise they're sitting on the drive and not being used will want to sell. Happy travelling! :)

I can't help but smile as he tells you what a comfy bed it is with his legs bent up. It look like beds for hobbits. If he had laid with his legs straight on the double version, I would have believed him, but even then he was part sideways with his legs bent. I would have liked to know the bed lengths in both directions?

[@dmhmotorhomehire7110]

Hi, he is 6'2" tall and kept legs bent so as to keep shoes off the upholstery. Bed dimesions are available to view and download in PDF format on our website derbyshire-motorhome-hire.co.uk

[@rogermadeley7413]

The two front seats swivel around giving you a 5ft 11" single bed on the drivers side and a 5ft 9" bed on the passenger side.

[@Two-Vees-In-a-Van]

Extremely useful, thanks. Do you know what the handbook states are the length of the two singles are please?

[@derbyshiremotorhomehire350]

Hi sorry we have sold this van now and the instruction book went with it. I can tell you i am 6ft 2in and i can only just lay on the single bed, its really not comfy at all.

[@Two-Vees-In-a-Van]

@@derbyshiremotorhomehire350 Appreciate the reply, thank you. Good fortune and stay safe

[@dmhmotorhomehire7110]

Hi, my very efficient business and life partner found the actual measurements in a handbook she put together when we owned the vehicle, still saved electronically ..... Single beds (each) are 6 feet long by 2 feet and 2 inches wide Double bed measures 6 feet long by 5 feet and 4 inches wide

[@Two-Vees-In-a-Van]

@@dmhmotorhomehire7110 That's exceptionally kind of you and your good Lady to search out this information for me, I am extremely grateful, thank you. Good fortune to you both and stay safe .

[@stuartwrigglesworth9339]

Fantastic video

[@tbip2001]

Did you get your upholstery re covered? If so, can you tell me who did it please? Also how much did you pay?

[@dmhmotorhomehire7110]

Hi, we didn't have this one reupholstered. Fortunately the fabric was all in tact and we cleaned it with a carpet extraction machine and some very clever gentle chemicals. In the past we have reupholstered motorhomes ourselves, it takes time and patience but saves hundreds. Minimum quote we've ever had is £2,000.

[@thermaldog]

what are the main differences between a Symbol and Duetto?

[@dmhmotorhomehire7110]

Hi There are significant differences between the Duetto and Symbol, and those differences don’t just relate to the base vehicle (eg. Duetto is rear-wheel drive, Symbol is front-wheel drive) but also to the interior volume and layout. Try the Autosleepers forum for more details.

[@thermaldog]

@@dmhmotorhomehire7110 thank you

[@kurbads74]

Bed layout? How about the overcab bed assembly?

[@dmhmotorhomehire7110]

Ours was a 2 berth, so you'd have to ask someone with a 4 berth for this information.

[@malcolmratcliff3980]

GOOD VIDEOS

[@Alelectroprime]

Creo que le quedo un poco corta la cama!

[@dmhmotorhomehire7110]

Hola, gracias por tu observación. La cama está bien para la mayoría de la gente, sólo que el hombre muy guapo que la muestra mide 190 centímetros de alto. ;-)

[@liambyrne591]

No seatbelts in the back

[@dmhmotorhomehire7110]

Some do, some don't. Our Symbol has a 3 point seatbelt in the front facing seat just behind the passenger seat, and a lap belt in the side facing seat just behind the driver's seat.

[@H4rleyBoy]

What an awful way to make a bed up.

[@dmhmotorhomehire7110]

Hi, do you mean you don't like the idea of making a bed up in a motorhome / campervan, or do you mean he's doing it wrong?
