4-berth motorhome: Layout & sleeping arrangements
The 79-4I’s floorplan offers a mix of fixed and flexible sleeping spaces:
- Rear island bed: No need to make the bed each night. It’s ready to use.
- Front lounge bed: The spacious L-shaped lounge converts into a second double, suitable for children or guests.
- Walkthrough washroom: Centrally located, it separates the bedroom from the living area and doubles as a changing space, with a shower on one side and toilet/basin on the other.
This makes the 79-4I a good option for couples who like a permanent bed but occasionally need extra berths.
