Leon,

If you look at the brochures of the GMC's you will find that the rear beds
are described as Double Beds NOT Queen.

According to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bed_size

A Full / Double bed measures 54 inches by 75 inches long.

A Queen Size bed measures 60 inches wide by 80 inches long.

I have done some research for you and it appears that the dimensions of the
rear bed in a GMC is 50 inches (front to back) by 85 inches (side to side).

Finding one with a Queensize bed in the back means that the closets and
bathroom would have had to been moved forward 10 inches.

Having said that you could get a rear twin model such as a Royal, Edgemonte,
Avion, etc. and remove the "dresser" in between the beds and make a platform
to go in between the rear twins and you'd wind up with a bed that was the
full width of the interior (85 inches side to side) and 75 (Avion & Royal)
to 77 inches (Edgemonte) front to back.

Thanks Randy. Just what I needed, advice from someone who knows what he is
talking about. Please tell me, what are the chances of finding one with a
rear queen bed?

Leon
