Apologies I got mixed up with the 840 and 860. The 840 is the 6 berth. The problem with the French or side bed is if the person nearest the window gets up during the night they are going to disturb the other person. Also the bed is a bit of a hassle to make up on the side nearest the caravan wall.
Having the side dinette is handy however there is a slide out on top of the chest of drawers in front and we pull it out and use that very time when having a meal. There is enough room for the two of us us to have our meals and also have the TV on top of it. If you have the grand child with you, then there is a pull out table that you can use. Works for us.
