She did try to compromise and chose a 31' Leprechaun (https://www.coachmenrv.com/brochures/2019/2019leprechaunbrochure.pdf) with a...

We sleep on the rear queen and haven't tried the over-head yet.

Our C came with a ladder, but it hurts my bare feet. So I'll either have to widen the steps, wear shoes to get up there...
