    unfortunately when discussing factory sleepers, it's not which is the best, it's a matter of which one is less crappy. I have yet to see a single one designed well.

    Spam is bad. Hijacking threads is bad. Start a new thread, if someone can answer your question they will. You're odds will only decline by spamming multiple threads.

    I liked the Volvo 780. The fridge was huge. It had a nice place for the TV and microwave. Lot's of storage. Comfortable bed size.

    I've just never seen one that couldn't have been made a lot better. They all lack something, well many somethings. And none of them are insulated well. They are laid out terribly.

    That's basically what it boils down to. I just don't understand why the only way to get a decent sleeper is to buy a day cab and put an after market one on. rv manufacturers can figure out how to design a small area to live in, but Pete and kw can't?

    The 84" on my WS is by far the best sleeper I have owned. I had a Studio KW years ago, and this has LOTS more room up front and in back.
