Fixed single beds are a popular choice in motorhomes, providing good length and comfort for couples or friends who are touring together. If you’re on the hunt for one, you’ll want to choose the best motorhome with fixed single beds for the job – and that’s where our round up comes in.
There are two fixed single-bed motorhome layouts. The first one sees a central washroom, an arrangement that is the second most popular fixed bed setup after those found in the best motorhomes with an island bed.
In the central washroom setup, the single beds are normally high, which ensures there’s enough space for a garage. There is also generally (but not always) the option of creating a double, typically with an infill cushion and a pull-out central platform. Something to consider with these beds is that, due to their height, you don’t always get much headroom.
The other fixed single bed arrangement is a rarer setup, which will see an end washroom at the rear of the motorhome. This means you get a more spacious feeling in the central area of the motorhome, but you don’t get a garage, and anyone sleeping at the front of the van could disturb you if they need the toilet during the night.
For the 2026 season, we’ve named the Buccaneer Quantum F-4S the best motorhome with fixed single beds at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2026. Our judging panel have been impressed by how the ‘van feels more like a luxury hotel, offering elegance when you’re on tour.
If you prefer a different type of arrangement in your ‘van, you could also consider the best rear lounge motorhome, a layout that gives you plenty of room to stretch out in.

The best motorhome with fixed single beds at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2026
Buccaneer is a famous name in the caravanning world – now part of Elddis’s offering, it’s been synonymous with luxury, style and comfort for years. It’s good news, then, that this year the Buccaneer moniker and ethos are being implemented in motorhomes for the first time, in the Quantum line-up.
Quantum is made up of two four-berth models, the French-bed F-4F, and the fixed-bed F-4S. It’s the latter that caught our eye: not only does it have a hugely high specification (an eight-speed auto gearbox, Alde heating, motorhome Wi-Fi, a solar panel, an awning, a tracking system and more come as standard), the interior also shouts “luxury”, thanks to its smart Narbonne Oak cabinets and Meridian upholstery.
The whole thing feels more akin to a hotel room than a motorhome – perfect if you appreciate that little extra style and elegance when you’re away on tour. If that’s not enough, you can add the ‘Lux’ pack for £5000 more, which gives you an engine upgrade and other cab-based goodies for even more on-road comfort.
Chausson 627 Titanium Line
- Price: £69,290
- Base vehicle: Ford Transit
- Berths: 3
- Belted seats: 5
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- MIRO: 2995kg
- Payload: 505kg
- Length: 6.99m
- Width: 2.35m
- Height: 2.92m
Reason to buy:
- Great size beds all around.
Reason to avoid:
- DAB radio, rear view camera, etc, are all optional extras.
Highly commended at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2026
A new model from Chausson this year that is available on the Ford Transit only, the 627 includes three berths as standard, with an optional drop-down bed taking berths up to five. All of these, including the optional bed, are well over 6ft long, so should provide plenty of room for growing teenagers.
The van also has – this time a standard – five travel seats. So while it is perhaps too large to work as a full-time day-to-day runaround vehicle, it could still occasionally be used for such a purpose. And you could definitely all fit in here as a family.
You get a dual-fuel three-burner hob in the kitchen, and a washroom with a tambour door so it won’t get in the way, and a swinging partition that provides a decent shower space.
Exterior spec includes 16-inch alloy wheels and a barbecue point.
Coachman Avventura 565
- Price: £107,545
- Base vehicle: Fiat Ducato
- Berths: 4
- Belted seats: 4
- MTPLM: 4500kg
- MIRO: 3400kg
- Payload: 1100kg
- Length: 7.98m
- Width: 2.45m
- Height: 2.86m
Reason to buy:
- Spec list should leave you wanting for nothing
Reason to avoid:
- Fairly pricey for a coachbuilt vehicle
Highly commended at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2026
It may be pricey, but the Coachman Avventura 565 simply exudes luxury – it’s packed to the gunwales with kit, all of which will go to make your tours that much more comfortable and enjoyable.
On the specification list, you’ll find Alde wet central heating, a UCONNECT 10” Infotainment system in the cab, an exterior mains socket, a 130 amp AGM battery, full winterisation and much more, making this a real home-away-from-home.
There are two models in the Avventura line-up – this and the island-bed 545 – but we think that the fixed single beds work particularly well in this motorhome. Luxuriously comfortable mattresses are fitted, and the high nature of the beds means that they allow space for a large garage beneath – hugely practical if you’re going on a longer tour where you want to be able to take more kit with you, and there’s even room for bikes.
There’s the payload to make the most of the opportunity, too: at 1100kg, it should be ample even if you’re touring four-up.
Adria Coral Axess 600 SL
- Year: 2020
- Berth: 2/3
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- MiRO: 2923kg
- Payload: 577kg
- Shipping length: 6.99m
- Width: 2.30m
Reason to buy:
- Great build quality, comfortable beds, good garage
Reason to avoid:
- Kitchen isn’t the biggest, no separate shower cubicle
There’s plenty to like about this Adria model, a motorhome that we felt had a ‘superb’ build quality when we reviewed it in 2020.
Coming in at less than 7m, you’ll find a spacious interior which offers a surprising amount of room.
This is particularly apparent in the bedroom area – the fixed single beds in this motorhome are very comfortable, and there’s a third, narrow, single bed between the two – this would be well suited for a smaller child, although we think this is probably a ‘van suited to couples (see our best motorhomes for couples guide if you’d like more ideas here).
At 2.03m in length, this motorhome’s fixed single beds are generously sized, with heads you can raise so you can read in bed – the reading lights will come in handy here too.
We’d say the kitchen isn’t the largest we’ve ever seen, but it’s still well-equipped, with a three-gas-burner hob, a Thetford oven and grill, good locker space and a large 142-litre fridge.
In the centre of the ‘van, you’ll find the washroom – it’s not the most spacious, yet it does what you’d want a washroom to do. One thing we would highlight is the shower cubicle – the floor is shared by the toilet, meaning you could get wet feet if the shower hasn’t completely drained away.
At the rear of the ‘van is a very generous garage, which can hold as much as 150kg, and is also heated and lit.

Swift Voyager 584
- Year: 2023
- Price: £67,495
- Berths: 4
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- MiRO: 3076kg
- Payload: 424kg
- Length: 7.85m
- Width: 2.37m
Reason to buy:
- Comfortable lounge, generous garage
Reason to avoid:
- Garage can’t be accessed internally
Our winner of the best low-profile motorhome at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2023 deserves its place in our round up of the standout fixed single bed motorhomes.
We thought the lounge was pleasant, with swivelling cab seats and also a travel seat found beneath each side settee, while a pedestal table can be folded in half, making it easy to access the cab from the rear.
The lack of worktop extension poses a slight issue in the kitchen – if both mains sockets are in use, you could be pushed for space, in which case you’d probably be relying on the table. You also only get a combined oven and grill, but a dual-fuel four-burner hob and a large stainless steel sink are welcome additions.
The washroom is a good area, although there’s a large step up to get in. The well ventilated area comes with a large mirror and a sizeable basin, but we noted the shower only has a single drain hole.
The two fixed single beds at the rear of the motorhome are both a nice size, with plenty of room to sit up in bed, thanks to the absence of overhead lockers. There’s no option to make the singles into a double though.
The additional two berths are made up by flicking a switch to lower the pedestal table in the lounge and rearranging the cushions, meaning no infill is required.
One thing we will highlight is there’s no way to access the garage internally. It’s a big space though – there’s room for bikes, for instance – and we like the inclusion of a 12V socket too.

Rapido C55
- Year: 2023
- Berth: 3
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- Length: 6.72m
- Width: 2.17m
Reason to buy:
- Ideal for people who eat out and cycle on tour
Reason to avoid:
- Kitchen could be better
If you’re looking for a motorhome with fixed single beds and are touring as a couple, the Rapido C55 is well worth considering.
We found the lounge comfortable; in fact, we think it offers more comfort than most. There’s easily space for six to sit at the dining table once the fold-down stool is deployed, while there are two useful LEDs near the cab seats.
We reckon the half-height fridge provides enough room for three, while a two-burner hob is provided. The sink is on the small side, but we think there’s ample workspace, and like the inclusion of an extractor fan too.
You can create a shower in the washroom by swinging over a partition – this has been achieved by creating a slightly skewed shape for the tray. What this does mean is that the you don’t get the most headroom we’ve ever seen, but we found the shower itself is easy to adjust.
After stepping up, you’ll enter the rear bedroom; there’s a wooden partition here, which is unusual to see in a ‘van of this size. The fixed single beds are both good sizes, with one 1.99m long and the other 1.85m long.
Headroom isn’t excellent here, but a cushioned panel can be used to create a huge transverse double.
The third bed is made up with dinette seats and a panel that otherwise resides in the garage. This garage offers a height of 1.20m, meaning you could comfortably store a bike in here, and it’s easy to load into too (check out our guide on how to load a motorhome for more packing know how).

Bürstner Elegance 910G
- Year: 2021
- Berth: 4
- MTPLM: 5500kg
- MiRO: 4273kg
- Payload: 1227kg
- Length: 8.91m
- Width: 2.32m
Reason to buy:
- Ideal for off-gridding, luxurious interior
Reason to avoid:
- Kitchen could be better
This stylish 2021 ‘van is an ideal candidate to consider if you want to take a motorhome off grid.
When it came out, it was given a full upgrade, coming with a 36cm deep double floor and it was also the first to come with the Thetford’s INDUS toilet system, something which makes emptying the loo a much simpler affair.
Plenty of daylight floods into the lounge area, thanks to a medium Heki and two huge side windows. Then, in the evening, you can rely on LEDs.
Something we did note is that the kitchen only provides a three-burner gas hob and a combined oven and grill. There’s also an oddly shaped sink, which you’re likely to struggle to find a suitable washing up bowl for.
Yet there’s good work surface, and with it a two-way opening Dometic fridge – however, there’s no microwave.
The washroom can only be described as exquisite. On the nearside sits a shower that was expanded for 2021. It’s nicely lit, and while there’s only one drain, the tray dips down.
Then, at the rear are those comfortable fixed single beds. You climb up three steps to access them, and in this area, we really like the addition of the little chests near each headboard where the lights can be controlled.
A huge rear garage provides plenty of storage, and there’s external-access lockers throughout the ‘van too, plus nine cubbyholes.
If you want a motorhome with fixed single beds that offers some modern style, we think this is well worth considering.

Mobilvetta Kea P65
- Year: 2020
- Berth: 4
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- Payload: 270kg
- Shipping length: 7.38m
- Width: 2.35m
Reason to buy:
- Excellent storage, good kit levels
Reason to avoid:
- Not much payload
We really liked the fact that this Kea P65 includes a habitation door on the right – it’s a handy addition for UK drivers.
The double floor means you have to step up to get to the lounge, but a grab handle helps. It’s a stylish area we think, with the L-shaped lounge having a white, glossy interior.
LEDs light up the area at night, while Mobilvetta’s signature blue ambient lighting behind the lockers adds to the vibe. One thing we did notice is the presence of only one mains socket in the lounge.
An impressive kitchen includes an induction hob and two gas burners, along with an extractor fan and a large sink. Storage is good too, although we’d highlight that the worktop isn’t the largest, due to a trap door that houses the bin.
On the offside sits a shower cubicle, with a clothes drying rail and roof vent, while the nearside washroom provides a circular basin and a toilet, meaning you’d possibly need to remove the cassette from inside an awning.
A folding door and tambour door can be used to partition off the rear bedroom, where you’ll find the motorhome’s fixed single beds. We found them high and headroom wasn’t great, but they’re easy to get into and we thought they were very comfortable, with headboards providing plenty of padding.
A cushioned area for a child’s bed sits between the beds, but by taking this out, you get a flat spot that would be a great place for housing a tray if you’re enjoying some breakfast in bed.
The lounge’s drop-down bed can be lowered with ease, although we found it led to the partial obstruction of the habitation door.
We like the rear garage storage that is provided, and the inclusion of six lockers in the rear bedroom is handy – the payload of only 270kg is a bit of a bind, though.

Hymer B-Class MC T 600
- Year: 2020
- Berth: 4
- MTPLM: 3500kg
- Payload: 555kg
- Shipping length: 7.19m
- Width: 2.19m
Reason to buy:
- Great build quality, bench toilet
Reason to avoid:
- Seated headroom space in bedroom is limited
The lounge in this Hymer would never be called the largest, yet we still think it works well – in here, you’ll find a settee, an inward-facing single seat and you can also swivel the cab seats in to face the adjustable, fixed pedestal-leg table.
We’re big fans of the clever washroom; a bench toilet is a good design choice, as it’s easier to clean around, while the shower cubicle, despite an odd shape, is simply using the most of the available space.
Then there are the single beds, which come with superior cold-foam mattresses on loose membranes. These are helpful to have, providing support and ventilation. The room provides more though, with storage on offer at the foot of each bed and a plastic tray between the beds. One thing worth noting – you’ll struggle to sit upright.
