Title: RE: [VAC] New Airstreams and Airstreamers

Well, those are interesting!  Although they may not be to everyone's liking, at least they are showing some imagination. 

 

One thing that I still don't understand, though, is why they would come up with a new design and still use such a tiny bed.  At 52" wide, that's an inch narrower than a conventional full-size bed.  To me that indicates that some of their thinking is stuck in the 50's, when everyone had full-sized beds (used to be called a "double bed"); no decent motel has smaller than a queen-size (60" wide) bed these days. I would personally sacrifice some of the galley area (who wants to spend their vacation cooking?) for a nice roomy bed.  I know that some would disagree; I recall someone on this list expressing a desire for a larger galley. It would probably raise production costs, but offering a floor plan options with a smaller galley/larger bed and larger galley/smaller bed might be popular ...
