Hi we are thinking of purchasing a Jayco Starcraft pop top, opinions and thoughts on single beds versus a double would be appreciated.

Thanks curly

We love our single beds lots more room to move and one of our beds is longer for the taller person which for me is great. We both have cpap machines and the single beds make their use much easier

I so wanted single beds....but Les wanted double...he won. So I am stuck with a queen mattress than doesn't fit queen sheets. I might try the double bed ones. I hate it. I'd go for singles any day.

Our Jayco has an east west extendable double. 

Easy to make up.  We use a  fitted bottom sheet & normal top sheet with a good quality doona.  We keep a spare doona in the overhead cupboard for occasional use if in cold places.

I would consider singles only if space is a problem.  Not an issue in the 21'6" van.

But our first choice was a double & we are very happy with that after 14 years.

No sag in the slat based innerspring mattress.  Put an egg shell overlay & mattress cover over the mattress.

Make the bed? Wot dat? The only time I make my bed is when the estate agent comes around for his annual inspection. In my camper, there's a double inner spring in the cab over. But there's only me so it dozen madder. No one to crawl over. No sheets either. My next door neighbor was talking about sheets and I said WHAT??? Who the hell needs sheets? I've got a sleeping bag. Sleep on top in warm weather, inside during cold. Roll up in morning. Boom boom. In summary, I prefer a double to a single, but only because I'm single and I can have the whole double to myself. Is anyone confused?

I'm with Cupie, double island bed for us, wouldn't have it any other way...........our van is 21 ft though.

King singles work for us,,,,,good decision.

I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to tell my story.......at Mission Beach a lady was showing me her new van, pointing out the single beds she said that she preferred them because it means she could have more cupboards, my comeback to that was I would rather have cuddles than cupboards!   The husband very eagerly agreed with me....as the argument ensued I very quietly left and snuck back to my own van and stayed there until the storm passed!

Mine has a east west double bed. Bit of a story here...

When I went to put in a new mattress, I discovered the double mattress was too long for the spot. My sister and I were doing it, so we dragged it back out, slit open the stitching, cut the end off with a big serated knife, stitched it back together and heaved it back in again.

As a solo, I love having the double all to myself, but I would have been happy with 2 singles because a girlfriend would like to travel with me sometimes.

I have married friends who had singles and went back to the island double because the wife was feeling the cold too much without her 'heater'.

It surely does Pauline, way too fast.

I must say making a single bed would be preferable to making mine. It fits in quite snugly, so changing sheets is a challenge. I also use a single doona instead of a double. It's plenty big enough for me and there's no overhang.

 

Single beds?? You have to be kidding. Queen at home and a king size in the caravan for us. Neither of us would ever consider seperate beds. Maybe it's our age as we are only 54.

single not an option in our van either

If we had single bed how could I reach Hylda to shake her when she snores?

Guess I could just throw the cat at her.

Hi, We have single beds. Ours head backs onto the front of the van and our feet  onto cupboards. This makes it too short for us. Also beds are different widths. Ours is 900 and just ok.
