Frequently Asked Questions
Common motorhome layout terms include overcab (sleeping area above the cab), drop-down bed (electrically lowered from ceiling), rear lounge, French bed (angled against the wall), and garage (storage area beneath a raised rear bed).
A motorhome "garage" is a large rear storage area beneath a raised bed, accessible via exterior doors.
It's ideal for storing bikes, outdoor furniture or mobility scooters and is common in larger coachbuilt and A-class motorhomes.
A French bed is positioned diagonally or lengthwise against one wall, with access from one side only.
It saves space compared to a transverse bed while still offering a permanent sleeping area.
