candapack Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 My wife is 5'10",( taller than me). Yesterday, she tried lying out flat in various PVC beds. Result, she says there is no way she could sleep comfortably in any PVC transverse bed. (except alone where she could go diagonal). 5'10" is not particularly tall. There must be loads of you much taller than that and with PVC's - how do you cope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Buy one with longer beds like what we did - and as a bonus you get a very comfortable eating area and very comfortable feet up lounging to read or watch the one eyed monster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candapack Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 The Warwick Duo - are you using singles or a double? The Adria - 6'6", which I assume is the width, seems wider than what OH saw, but base vehicle the same? - And sorry, not in market just now but would be interested in what you are looking to replace with.

Tracker Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Single beds mostly but double sometimes when the need arises or the mood demands! And very soft and comfortable they are too, especially with the use of a Duvalay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candapack Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hmmm!. Not sure this thread is going in the right direction. Really hope the one eyed monster is just a telly. Anyhoo, A/S have the Warwick bed width at 6'2" - but manufacturer data so pinch of salt applied. The Judge (is that Eddie, I get confused) has his Adria bed width at 6'6". Both use effectively the same base vehicle so where does 4" come/go (and steady with the replies please). OH may be 5'10", but she hates if head/feet touch either end, so minimum 6'2" width necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all transverse beds in an x2/50 are the same, it depends on the height of the bed, the Twin has the bed at optimum height to get max size with best headroom, so have a look at one first before writing of transverse beds, if still no luck and wanting a fixed bed look at a Globecar 636sb like ours which has an even bigger longitudinal bed, or some of the more recent copies.

The Adria - 6'6", which I assume is the width, seems wider than what OH saw, but base vehicle the same? - And sorry, not in market just now but would be interested in what you are looking to replace with. 6.6 is the length of the transverse bed across the back. all Fiat/peugeot/citroen vans are same width 2050 I think, 3 lengths, 5.4/6.0/6.36 probably going a bit up market, La Strada,Westfalia or maybe a Possl as they have some interesting new vans and prices more down to earth ignore the idiot above who just loves stirring....when I bought the adria it was a compromise between usability and size, and a decision was made on what was available at that time, many new models out since..... I have one new e bike arriving next week, and another on order for 2014...a combined value of over 6K, I'm reluctant to have them hanging on a bike rack....the main reason to change. I may even stay with adria and get the very clever busbiker swing out bike rack.. going to Essen show in late Feb to see what's around....decisions decisions :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolero boy Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Rear bed size from new Poessl website rear transverse bed model Heckbett (L x B): ca. 1.960 x 1.450/1.350 mm; Thats 6"5' x 4'9"/4'5" (this makes for quite a large rear bed) Best to try one out together. Transverse bed big enough for the majority of couples, in this van (6.36m) you get a larger lounge too. Changing to longitudinal fixed singles gives larger double, if required, bed but (IMHO) employs the standard, compromised dinette. Longitudinal singles, or large double, made up from a lounge would be a no-no for us as we moved away from bed making many years ago, too much hassle. The transverse bed with standard dinette can be achieved in a 6.0m van. Try the bed and the lounge then choose what suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
