with the older cruiser and i belive pullman the length of the bed pod area is under 6ft not much under but under.the width is only 120cm so if there are two in a bed you get to know each other very well.not sure what sort of age you would be looking at.

Adults or children?  If children, what gender & ages?  All that sounds a bit personal - in other words will they share a double bed?

Have a look at the Comanche or Camplet very easy to erect and beds off the ground.

We have a 1998 Pullman - it's about 5.5 x 5.5m pitched plus we have an awning extension for another couple of sq. metres for another bedroom if we need it. We traded in our Fiesta because it really was too small. Kev is 6ft and no longer as slim as he once was (like me) and son is now a teenager and usually brings a mate with him. We have a 'king size' (1.5m wide) bed and two doubles (1.2m).

Really easy to put up, loads of space in the awning and underneath for Kev's fishing gear and his beer. Built in kitchen, including fridge inside or gas point outside for a barbie if you want to cook outside.

Conway Cruiser and Pennine Sterling are similar but don't have the king size bed. Conway Crusader and Pennine Pathfinder have a toilet/washroom and hot water too I think.  All towable by a reasonable sized family car (I can use my 1.4MG but we usually use the Frontera.   

 Good luck with your search.

The Conway Cruiser does have a king size bed from 2006 onwards as that was the year the Cruiser moved to the same floor plan as the Pullman.
