Yeah it can get a little noisy in there but then I wasn't suggesting this setup for you, just happened to mention that I would like to see that option (if it was available on our Axis we probably would have picked it up).

Jamie, I knew you weren't talking about me. My comments were completely generic. I've seen a lot of trailers of all sizes with beds that swing open, both from ends and also from sides, but don't recall seeing motorhomes with soft-sided extensions -- except for Class Bs which extend straight up. Westfalia-type pop-tops were obviously very successful for decades. However, when taller van roofs were made available, most buyers seem to prefer a permanent structure even though it adds height.
Likewise, I think there would be limited demand for a Class A or C with "hybrid" bed extensions. I think most buyers would just buy a larger RV or with more slides.
I have seen pictures of an old Class A that had a large pop-top roof with beds in that attic area. Something like that may work for families with lots of children. The top essentially created a second floor with limited headroom.
