Probably a strange question but do you think it would be feasible to use the cabin between the bedrooms as an extra bedroom?  I know you can have an underbed room and an annexe, just a thought I had as we'd need 3 bedrooms and putting an airbed on the floor area for DS would seem easiest if it was possible.

Don't know what an Olympe is like, but we're starting to do this with our FC when we stay for a weekend. We put a roll mat on the floor for our youngest. He's too tall now to sleep on the "settee" and it's a pain to put the third double bed up just for one person.

I would try it.

We put our 15 year old son down the middle on an air bed. The only problem we found was climbing over him in the morning. Night time loo trips could also be fun.

Our friends had a tt and their eldest daughter did try sleeping on the floor in the middle but found it quite draughty. This was in a very old and well used Conway Camargue though so it may be that a newer design might be better. Or maybe as long as it's a warm night and not windy.

My OH did it last year in our Fiesta but the difference of course is that fc's are completely sealed with velcro all round so no draughts ( we never close our bed pods - I'm too claustraphobic for one thing) but tt's are just pegged down at the back.

You could try putting a small awning inner tent up (is there such a thing as a one berth?) up - you could clip it up at either end of the the cabin liner and just take it down in the day and put the whole thing including the air bed, on one of the beds.  Bit of a faff but hey - if it solves the problem and at least she's still in there with you for now - won't be long before she can't wait to be underneath or in a annex - or even in her own pup tent

The olympe avoids lots of the potential problems raised here, it has the zip in groundsheet minimising draughts and as the bed pods are completely separate from the dining area (you climb in and out from the ends like in a camp-let) you wouldnt have to climb over him to get in and out of bed. It would be colder that sleeping on one of the designated beds, but so long as you make allowances for that in terms of bedding, i can see no reason why he couldnt sleep there.

 I am a little jealous, I love the Olympe, but it's waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy out of my price range!

We have a Jametic and the second bed is actually over the trailer, so I would say it should be possible, but I'm not sure exactly how it would work.  I wondered about that when we were looking; 3 double beds would have solved a lot of our problems!
