The next best option to a rear lounge is a front lounge using swivel seats to optimise maximum space and overhead cabin bed.

The 1st one is the better motorhome. I don't understand having a drop down bed when the design should be having the lounge become the bed, it's a waste of space, but Europeans seem to love these drop down beds.
@robertlynn73324 жыл бұрын
Does the lounge in the Burstner convert into a double bed as well as having the drop down pre made bed? It seems like that would explain the 4belted seating positions.
@kmac4994 жыл бұрын
Yes it does, which is one reason why the table is as large as it is.. It drops down and the it's cushion tetris time.. This means the drop down bed can't come down as low so you need a longer ladder.

If you remove the lounge side cushions the bed can go even further down where you dont need the ladder 🙂. But u def can skeep or use underneath dog might still fit though 🙂

Great van.I always prefer ones like this with drop down beds as you get more living space.A fixed bed takes up too much room when all you do is sleep on it.Mind you a fixed bed at the back usually gives you a garage at the back which is great for bike storage etc.

I prefer a rear lounge and overhead cab bed with a van six metres long, large rear lounge makes the van feel far more spacious and less claustrophobic and your separating your sleeping quarters from living quarters.

1. The forward-facing seat in the lounge would be better off as a combination of more storage and/or steps to get into the bed and/or kitchen prep area 2.; Unless there is a required locking mechanism I can see the users putting the bed up with the bedding in place and just keeping it dropped down by a few inches
@thomasj40574 жыл бұрын
Hi Alan. You keep saying in your videos on drop-down beds in lounge that one would have make the bedding every night and in this video, that you might have to put the bedding in the pantry. Have you verified this? I find it somewhat unlikely that a ladder which I'm guessing is about 5-7cm deep can fit while bedding can not. I assume the bedding will compress, if it has to

Great van, you reviewed it new here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWjXd4aVp6ujpZY I found that as I wanted to see the external lockers! I think some types of folding bike would fit in one or other garage fine. I liked this as the skylights are well placed, it's similar to the 6m Swift Escape. I think the lounge forms a slightly lumpy double so it can sleep 4 and a summer duvet would squash up there so no need to store bedding. I really like these 6m motorhomes simply because you get the living space of a 7.5-8m van in 6m, lighter, cheaper, easier to park. Bags of storage too, cupboards everywhere!! Big lounges rock, I only have a dinette in my PVC but I've been in some coachbuilts that don't have more as a queen bed bedroom eats up all the space.

Hi Allan To me it’s a ridiculous waste of good space ... why don’t they make them for single people who don’t want to seat six people. Bathrooms great but all that lounge space could have been incorporated into the kitchen. Also winder about the steam in bathroom making clothes damp but if not then a great idea.

Two seats are forward facing belted travel seats. with the Truma and water underneath The one behind the UK passenger is the battery box big enough to take two and a small inverter A bridge cushion between these makes the L sofa (Remove for passenger 4 knee room) The small side bench is over the small front outside locker and the seat lifts to give access. So it's more a case of cushions above stuff than seats for the sake of it. The only thing I would change in ours is to have a folding table top. Even though it does the usual x-y slide it can still be squeeze sometimes
