Also, some people DO suffer from alergies caused by dogs. My brother did until he was about 30.

About 20 years ago, I had a kitten which had cat flu. My husband wouldn't allow me to take it to the vets in the car incase his dogs (decent greyhounds) caught something from the kitten.
I had to phone for a taxi. When I booked the taxi, I mentioned that I had a cat and they said that would be fine. What did they do? They sent a taxi driver with a morbid fear of cats. He knocked on the door and took one look at the poor little kitten and refused to take it to the vets. He started sweating, just talking about it. I had to ring another firm.
It all ended well, kitty was fine, the dogs were uncontaminated and went on to win big races and lined our pockets nicely.

Hi Lol,
What ever will Chloe say , an island fixed bed, you must be a bone idle lazy person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good for you I say, not sure about Easter yet, we have to get through Christmas in the caravan,I am not sure it can be better than the PC rally, you will have to go a long way to find us a steeper pitch and once we'd bought those levelling wedges it seems lazy and bone idle not to use them, it is bad enough having a fixed bed, 4x4, and mover I don't know how we'll find the time to enjoy themselves.
Mmmm..... I have never towed a fixed bed by itself I tend to take the whole caravan, its much better. and YES I DO TOW IT WITH A 4X4

My thoughts exactly! Absolutely no need for some of the comments made. You can voice your opinions without having to belittle others.
"There were no insults intended, but if the cap fit's then wear it!" What's that if it's not an insult?.
I'm afraid that some people are just like that. If your preference is different to theirs then you must be wrong.
Chloe, you also infer that if someone is prepared to use "public" facilities then they must have low standards of cleanliness. I can assure you that my hygiene standards are equal to yours and I would not use facilities that were not clean. I am also neither "lazy or infirm" and I take exception to your assumption. Anyway, what makes you think that people with fixed bed vans don't use their own facilities?
I have my preference and you have yours and I certainly don't think that you are wrong just because yours is different.
A change of attitude would serve you well, I feel.
Hi Chloe
Yes we are bone idle and lazy !
But it's our choice about which van we choose.
Our real reason is that my wife is partially disabled and so needs a good bed. Our previous vans, where the seats had to double as beds were a problem.
Our present van has fixed twin beds, which is far better for our needs.
OK we miss the large rear bathroom we had with a previous van, but you cant have everything. We did consider a twin axle van to get both a fixed bed and a rear bathroom, but cost and ease of moving the van decided us against it (even with a fitted motor mover, which we have on our vans, so I can move them on my own).
As others have commented, it's each to their own. If we all liked the same layout, there would be little choice.
Hi Everyone,
Can I add to the great fixed bed debate by saying that we are pretty definately buying a German Caravan which is fixed bed and fixed bunks and it still manages to have a useable bathroom, sitting/eating area, kitchen & a fridge freezer.
Oh and we do tow with a mighty 4x4 but are far from lazy or infirm, just have two children under 3 and a dog and really can't cope with fighting with knee rolls and making up beds them having nowhere to sit if we have to get up with the children.
I think Continental vans are maybe the way forward as there seems to be so many layouts you can pretty much design your own interior as per oldfogey's posting, and they have slung out the chinz and knee rolls. Hurrah!!
