4 Berth Caravan with both bunk beds and a fixed double?
I've been looking at different caravan layouts and I know they are almost infinite, but I can't seem to find one that has both a fixed double 'bedroom' at the end but also has a little seating area (separate to the main seating area benches) that could also be turned into bunks.
It would be perfect if the small table area in the middle would go into two bunks.
Has anyone ever seen a layout like this with any manufacturer? D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten

What you seem to be looking for is a 6 berth not a 4 berthDS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

Certainly BERTH not BIRTH - unless you want to set up a maternity home! Call the Midwife LR Discovery 4 XS pulling an Airstream 532 Caravan also own (since new) a 1996 MGF

Yes I'd figured out that it would need to be a 6 berth to be able to have a fixed double, bunks and the 'lounge' bit in use all at once but I couldn't find one with bunks in the middle. That Swift one looks great - looking in the pictures I can see the mechanism for setting up the bunks on the middle seats, which is what I was looking for.
Fantastic - many thanks...D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten

Thats the layout our Bailey Olympus 620 has. Lounge at the front, side dinette that also has bunks, and a fixed bed at the rear. Its a 6 berth 'van.
Its great for just 2 of us, as it gives us separate lounge, eating and sleeping areas.

Thanks Al, I've taken a look and you're right - it's the same perfect layout. I originally assumed that to have bunks in the middle little dining table that there would be a wooden frame there. I didn't realise they used fold out metal arms.
Are most/all 6 berth vans twin axle?
Thanks all for the advice D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten

yep, to accomodate 6 people you need a bit of space, so I would have thought almost all 6 berths would be TA.
If you try using www.caravanfinder.co.uk you can select the layout you want and it will find all the 'vans with that configuration, as I know Swift did the same layout as our Bailey.

If you search on fleabay or such try birth as well as berth because so many people list wrong and you might get a bargain
