I have been thinking about changing my floor plan from a 26-3 to a 26-1 so I wonder if anyone have a couple of pictures of the layout under the bed like water tank placment and so on.

I am also looking for pictures of the rear table options with side faceing settee Smile

I have an original green plaid and shag carpet rear dinette/bed if you
would like pictures. Let me know and I will get out the camera. As for
the placement if fittings, the manuals have some diagrams.

Bob I have been through the diagrams with no luck.
What I need most of all is pictures of the standard rear bed from 1973 to 1974, -75 and newer is no good, but if you have a early coach I really would like to see pictures of your rear dinette/bed.

I have a "permanent" rear bed in my 23' Sequoia, but it looks like it was originally something else like rear facing settees or a gaucho that a PO modified, so I didn't think it would tell you anything. You could see the same thing by looking at the photosite where people have replaced rotten flooring back there. Water tank on the pass side and generator on the driver's side. Storage space in between.

Espen, I sent you some pictures on FB Messenger of the rear seating area in my '74. Hopefully that is what you needed. I didn't have any pictures of the seats folded down into the bed (the seat backs have jackknife hinges to fold down and flip over). I have the seat backs and hinges out of the GMC right now but I could take some pictures of them if it would help.

Thanks,that was what I thought, the goucho/duoble bed set up was just not practical with the water tank in the rear, it will be better with the water tank on the passenger side and storage space in the middle.

But I would still like to see pictures of the original duoble permanent bed Smile

Sounds like the mods my PO installed...

To the left, you can see the new water tank, as well as some storage above the LP tank compartment...

This is the center part under the bed, with the long (!) slide-out storage and a window latch to keep it in place duringsudden stops.

And finally, the area to the right, showing the rest of the (shallow) storage area above the generator compartment. You can also see the relocated electrical equipment and the new inverter I installed behind the slide-out.

These mods, IMHO, are the best possible use of space. Not only do I pick up a significant amount of storage, as well as a convenient place for electrical equipment, but there's also room for a 52" x 84" mattress on that folding platform (though the PO had to have one custom-made with notches for the taillight buckets). Couldn't be happier with this arrangement.

Thanks Mark

That looks like a really good solution and is vert close to what I want, not a bad idea to rise the bed a little bit
