Hi all,

A few years ago I attended the GMC rally at the fair grounds in Santa Rosa, California. During the open house I toured a coach with an interesting floor plan. The coach had a bed tucked into one back corner of the coach. (Driver side I believe) there was enough space to get down one side of the bed.

The entrance to the bathroom was in this "bedroom suite" area near the foot of the bed on the passenger side if I remember correctly.

It's the only one like this that I've ever seen. Does anyone remember this coach and does anyone knows who owns it?

Thanks,

Mark Elmer

There were pictures of it somewhere........shower was more or less in the bedroom.....but it was real shower.
If I remember correctly the owner had mobility problems or similar and the shower and easy access made life easier.
it was for sale i think and sold quickly so although some didn't like the layout, someone did.
It was a one off.

That somewhat sounds like the layout of my coach that was done by the PO. It has a queen bed up against the passenger side wall. On the drivers side wall there are built in drawers with a counter top and sink leaving a walk way between the bed and drawer/counter/sink unit. The bath room is at the foot of the bed on the passenger side. Not exactly what you are talking about as I think I recently saw somewhere, maybe here, one with a shower in the rear and a bed next to it separated by a shower curtain.
