- 4 min read
The Front Twin Bed (FTB) floor plan wasn't created by accident. It grew from countless conversations with RV owners and van travelers about how they actually use their motorhomes. Chinook's team took those ideas and designed a layout that offers more flexibility for everyday living, entertaining, and sleeping.
Available on the Chinook Maverick AWD 4S and Summit AWD 4S, this versatile layout transforms from a comfortable lounge area into twin beds or a spacious 60" queen bed, giving owners multiple ways to enjoy the same space.
Why RVers Love the Front Twin Bed Layout ✔️ Spacious front lounge for relaxing, dining, or entertaining ✔️ Separate twin beds for added comfort and convenience ✔️ Converts into a spacious 60-inch queen bed when you need it ✔️ Three versatile layouts in one smart floor plan ✔️ Available on both the Ford Transit AWD and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter AWD chassis |
Three Layouts in One
One of the biggest advantages of the Front Twin Bed floor plan is its ability to transform based on how you're using the coach.
1
A Comfortable Lounge During the Day
Not every moment on the road is spent driving or sleeping. The Front Twin Bed layout creates a spacious lounge area where you can relax, enjoy a meal, read a book, watch TV, or simply take in the view from your campsite. The opposing sofas create an open, inviting space that many owners find more comfortable than traditional fixed-bed floor plans.
2
Separate Twin Beds at Night
For couples who prefer their own sleeping space, the FTB layout easily converts into two comfortable twin beds. This setup allows each traveler to have their own sleeping area while still maintaining the open feel that makes this floor plan so popular.
3
Or A Spacious 60-Inch Queen Bed
The twin beds can quickly convert into a spacious 60-inch queen bed, giving owners the flexibility to choose whichever arrangement works best for the trip ahead.
It's this ability to adapt to different travel styles that makes the Front Twin Bed floor plan one of Chinook's most versatile layouts.
Built on the Chassis You Prefer
The Front Twin Bed floor plan is available on two Chinook models:
Maverick AWD 4S — Built on the Ford Transit AWD chassis
Summit AWD 4S — Built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter AWD chassis
Because both models share the same versatile floor plan, shoppers can choose the chassis that best fits their driving preferences without compromising on the layout they love. Some buyers prefer the gas-powered Ford Transit. Others appreciate the characteristics of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter diesel platform. No matter which chassis you choose, you'll enjoy the same versatile Front Twin Bed floor plan.
Ford Transit vs. Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: Which Is Right for You? Both offer all-wheel-drive capability, allowing buyers to focus on factors such as driving experience, fuel type, towing characteristics, and cockpit preferences rather than deciding between AWD and non-AWD configurations. |
