Our camper has the normal two pull out beds, what I want to know is do you sleep in the front bed or the back?  Why did you pick that one?  Does your head anyways face the same direction?

We sleep on the front (tongue) end of the camper and don't often use the back bunk.  The camper is never perfectly level for our heads go to the high side.

I think the bunk over the tongue is usually the larger bunk because extra supports for the length can go down to the tongue.  In the popup DW and DS was usually in the big bed over the tongue and I was in the smaller back bunk with the dog  :dog:

We like & use both bunks in our camper. They are both the same size (queen). We prefer the privacy our back bunk offers, but due to it being almost closed off by the bunkbed & bathroom walls, the heat doesn't get in there as well as it does in the front bunk during the colder months.

For us, it all depends on the situation. Both bunks on our HTT are queen sized. If the outing includes Myself, DW, and the kids, DW & I take the back bunk and the kids use the front bunk and the jack knife sofa. If it's just DW & I or if I am solo I generally open only one bunk to help keep in the AC or heat. Usually, then, it's the front bunk because it's easier to get into and out of, plus it makes the interior space feel larger. The back bunk is somewhat secluded from the rest of the trailer by the bathroom, pantry and wardrobe down the back hallway.

Both of my bunks are kings.  I take the back one because there is a counter next to it I use a night stand and a outlet to charge my phone which I use an alarm on occasion.  The other side has a couch in front of it.  I usually try to sleep facing the driver side of the camper because that is where the counter is.

My wife sleeps on the front dinette (of course it is made in to the bed) because she is a little "claustraphobic" on the canvas encased bunks.  That dinette bed is basically a single bed, so I sleep on the back bunk. (So I dont chance climbing all over her when she is sleeping).  BTW we keep our rear dinette as a dinette while camping.
