Any suggestions?
We previously had a Jayco Outback Eagle which was great.
Now thinking of something more weatherproof for short trips in any weather.
On-road is OK.
2 adults, 2 kids, but very tall 13-yr old who doesn't want to sleep with his sister.
Are bunks short? Boy likely to hit 6" feet tall soon.
Thanks.

Would not recommmend a standard rapid as I am 6'3" and wife 6'2" and we have a RA441 Rapid. The beds in standard layout aren't really ideal for tall people, our 10 year old is going to be
well over 6' and we are already looking at other options. We have to sleep along the van with the table down, effectively making a king size bed with both the folding bed and table bed joined together.
A number of the family vans with bunks are way to short, standard jayco bunks are 165-180cm long depending on model. A number of the european style vans Adria, giests and others do have bunks upto 190cm but most we have looked into are shorter. If money is no object you could always get a new van with specs to suit. If you get an answer we would like to know also. Brad & Nicole.

I see You have the same van as Me! and we do the same thing sleep longways. It's not that bad! then we can all watch TV until we all fall asleep, then I usually have to get up for a P!.. But that's life.
Cheers.
