If you have Captain swivel seats in the front, you can turn these around to extend the length of the single bed layout for tall people.

The two front seats swivel around giving you a 5ft 11" single bed on the drivers side and a 5ft 9" bed on the passenger side.

For a solo owner of a Duetto, the single bed layout can actually be made bigger by swivelling the passenger seat fully around so the seat squab butts up to bed when it's slid down. I use my Duetto this way as i have no need for the double.

it looks like anyone over 5'8 cant straighten their legs in the bed, is this right?

@@thermaldog I'm 5'9 and the way i used the single bed layout is as i described...i used to swivel the passenger seat around then butt the single seat up against the passenger seat which gives more length. As the Duetto is only 5.5m in overall length, internal space is at a premium so you do have to think carefully about what you fill it with!

This is perfect 4me. I've had a 32' Class-A Mtr/Hm, and although I loved it, it comes with a whole slew of issues and limitations This is a shrunken version of a class A; the amenities without the bulk. I would love to find one when I retire in a yr or 2 and move to Italy as an ex-pat. 😊

You'll probably find one quite easily in a couple of years. We anticipate the market being flooded by then, because a lot of people who purchased them because of Covid will realise they're sitting on the drive and not being used will want to sell. Happy travelling! :)

I can't help but smile as he tells you what a comfy bed it is with his legs bent up. It look like beds for hobbits. If he had laid with his legs straight on the double version, I would have believed him, but even then he was part sideways with his legs bent. I would have liked to know the bed lengths in both directions?

Hi, he is 6'2" tall and kept legs bent so as to keep shoes off the upholstery. Bed dimesions are available to view and download in PDF format on our website derbyshire-motorhome-hire.co.uk

Did you get your upholstery re covered? If so, can you tell me who did it please? Also how much did you pay?

Hi, we didn't have this one reupholstered. Fortunately the fabric was all in tact and we cleaned it with a carpet extraction machine and some very clever gentle chemicals. In the past we have reupholstered motorhomes ourselves, it takes time and patience but saves hundreds. Minimum quote we've ever had is £2,000.

Bed layout? How about the overcab bed assembly?

what are the main differences between a Symbol and Duetto?

@dmhmotorhomehire7110

Hi There are significant differences between the Duetto and Symbol, and those differences don’t just relate to the base vehicle (eg. Duetto is rear-wheel drive, Symbol is front-wheel drive) but also to the interior volume and layout. Try the Autosleepers forum for more details.

Some do, some don't. Our Symbol has a 3 point seatbelt in the front facing seat just behind the passenger seat, and a lap belt in the side facing seat just behind the driver's seat.

What an awful way to make a bed up.

Hi, do you mean you don't like the idea of making a bed up in a motorhome / campervan, or do you mean he's doing it wrong?
