mpoulsen, Make sure at least the half bath is accessible with the slides in for those in route duties.
One advantage of the opposing slides that I like if we stop at a rest area or pullout along the road is that we can put out a slide on one side to make access to to kitchen a little better. Also real handy while I park at the house to load/unload.
As far as the drop-down bunk our Bounder has basic wrestling mat for a mattress. The oldest grandson claimed the bunk till he got about 14. We had a mattress topper laying around and we put it on it. It made it tolerable. I got kicked out of bed one night by the granddaughter and I slept on it, I could still move in the AM.

We've had 3 RVs over the past 35 years; Class C, Class C, and now a Class A. Would never go back to a C. There are just so many pros; more storage, bigger tanks (water, black/grey, fuel, LPG), much more "walk around" room, the cab becomes part of the living area, phenomenal view out the windshield both while driving and while camped... Don't get me wrong, the Cs were great for us at the time, but after tasting the A, I would never go back.
We don't stop playing because we grow old...We grow old because we stop playing!

I have had some type of RV for around 55 years. First class C was in 1986 I think then a 1991. Got greedy and bought a 2007 Monaco 45ft W/4 slides. That lasted a little over a year we hated and I got a 40 ft no slide Winnebago which we liked pretty well. 5 years or so ago I ran into a real deal on a 1998 Monaco DP 36ft with a full wall slide 36ft and bought it. This thing was in pristine condition, all maintenance records, 1 owner, and kept inside since new. This is the one we looked for for many years of trial and error. We use it to death and other than normal stuff have had no problems. The original price in 1998 was $284,000--what would that be today?
