We had the same discussion, nice big bathroom, separate shower etc -v- fixed bed and no more putting away / making up, the fixed bed won and we don't regret it one bit. We like to go caravanning all year and it is so nice to get somewhere late evening, have something to eat and a few drinks and just walk down the 'van and fall into bed.
Okay maybe it may seem a little bit lazy but I'm all in favour of lazy if it makes life easier. When it comes down to it it is your personal preference and although we can all give you our preferences no one else can make that decision for you. I also think that one day you will just see a 'van and think 'thats it - thats the one for us'.
Just as a by-the-by, on one of our last trips out with our old 'van I was putting the bed away one morning twisted as I pushed and hurt my back, not only did we have to come home early but I was off work for about 3 weeks and spent a fortune visiting an osteopath.
Have fun and enjoy whatever your final choice.
