Looking for twin bed passthrough floorplan without the slide

We've found a short RV floorplan that really suits us. It has two twin beds with a center aisle and rear bath.
We have seen the Coachmen Orion. It is the second floorplan in the picture. This is on the Ford Transit Chassis. And the Sunseeker 2370 also on the Ford Transit Chassis. Unfortunately we are too tall to be able to drive the Ford Transit comfortably so that chassis is out.

We then tried the Axis/Vegas 25.5 on the Ford E450 chassis and that one has too much impingement on the passenger side foot well from the dog house so those are out.

Then we tried the Thor Citation (the first floor plan) which is on the Mercedes Chassis. We love this chassis. Plenty of foot room. But the slide drives the cargo carrying capacity down to 960 lbs. We think if we can find this floor plan on the Mercedes chassis without a slide we will have found our RV.

Anyone ever seen it? Or any other RVs not mentioned above with this floor plan? We are trying to stay short and no slides so as to be able to carry lawn chairs and such.

Thanks for any and all suggestions!

Have you checked out Pleasure Way Vans and Leisure Vans? Both look to be quality products. I was considering them before my husband convinced me to go up to a class A. Good luck and enjoy your search.

Thanks!
The Pleasureway Plateau XLTD looks like a possibility. We will try to find one to see.

And the Leisure Vans Wonder Front Twin Beds W24FTB looks interesting also. We had seen their Unity twin beds but I think it also had the beds too high. The new Wonder looks like they would be lower so we will try to find one to see.

The Coachhouse Arriva V24 also looks interesting. Will also try to find one of those. I had never even heard of this brand so thanks!

Really appreciate the replies! This gives me hope that we can find something.

Take a look at the Phoenix Cruiser site Phoenix Cruiser - Affordable Luxury Class B+ Motorhome

Regardless of the pictures - ANY of their models can be ordered without the slide out. And they are willing to do other changes to their standard build.

If you find yourself reconsidering E-450-based coaches, you might want to look at the Lazy Daze 24-foot Twin-King (no rear bath, though):



or the 27-foot Rear Bath:



Other pictures here.

Floorplans here.

Lazy Daze coaches have no slides.

We owned a 27-foot mid-bath. It was well-made.

Thanks Cats and Mark! I love those floor plans. Unfortunately the Ford chassis has pretty severe left foot impingement for the passenger (me). I really wish I could buy one of those.

micd-

Your foot-comfort response got me thinking about Class As. As you know from owning one, a Class A typically has more room beside the doghouse than a Class B or C.

I'm not familiar with very small As enough to know of a floorplan with a rear bath and twin beds, but here is a link to the Winnebago Via. See the 25T floor plan. It does not have a rear bath, though.

Note that you'll have to "try on for size" any coach with a slideout directly behind the driver's seat. On many, this restricts rearward movement of the seat, which can be a problem for taller drivers.

Best wishes in your search.

Thanks again Mark,

My husband is definitely for the class As for driving comfort. We thought we had a good compromise between my desire for short and his for class A with the Winnebago Intent. It is 26' long. It has a lower height full time queen bed and a dinette. Then we got home and read the comments on here that pointed out the refrigerator was electric only, no LP. I don't know what Winnebago was thinking! It seems to be such a basic mistake. But it took it off the list for us. We run our refrigerator on LP all the time.

Unfortunately no one sells the Winnebago Via 25T around here but we did look at a used one on a lot. Front chairs were super comfortable, as was the sofa. The twin beds were high but we were thinking we could compromise on that. Then we looked at ccc and it was fairly low, but I don't remember what it was.

When we asked the dealership about a test drive they said no, unless we put a contract on it first.

Needless to say we won't be doing any business with that dealer. Another couple came through while we were looking at it and we commented on the uncooperative dealer. They said the dealer wouldn't even open up the big diesel pushers for them because they didn't look like they had enough money so it wasn't just us getting the inhospitable treatment.
