Topaz Layout
Hi
Can anyone tell me if you can have two single beds in a Topaz, instead of the large double ?.

Yes you can, although they are on the narrow side, not that comfortable, I found when I had my Topaz, hence I changed to a Clubman.

Re: Topaz Layout
The two single bed set up is not at all comfortable due to the narrowness of the beds, my arm kept falling off the bed in the night. But why bother? We always make ours up as a double minus the filler cushion between the front seats which takes up too much storage space. We can still get out of bed without disturbing the other person, which is more than can be said of some much bigger motorhomes.

Hi Mayfield
Thank you for that link, lots of info to digest.
Do I take it from the info that both seats turn 180 to make the beds up.
I notice also that you have the 2.4 engine what do you think of it. Once again thank you and the others who responded to my queries.
Cheers
Andy

Yes you turn the seats to make the bed/beds.
Can`t speak of the 2.4 ,I had the 2.5tdi it was brilliant, very economical, late 30`s early 40`s mpg, that is why I stayed with that engine when I change motorhomes.
Regards,
Margaret

Re: Topaz Layout
The 2.4 is fairly slow but plods along with good reliability. The 2.5TDI is more complicated so costs more to service etc but its a great engine with good economy and quite nippy. Worth the extra cost in my opinion.

Re: Topaz Layout
The 2.4 engine has good reliability and easy to service, Mine will plod Along all day at 60 - 70 mph. It does lack power on hills but I average about 38 mpg so I'm happy with that.

Hi Gents
Thank you for your comments.
For the first time ever I am buying blind I have put my trust in the dealer Thompsons in Northern Ireland. I wait with baited breath.
