As a Trek owner, I agree lack of a dedicated bedroom is not for everyone, though it works for us, even in our sticks and bricks house my wife and I almost always go to bed at the same time, and we rarely use the bedroom TV. I watch shows or browse the internet on my notebook computer, and she watches shows, or listens to audio books with headphones,or does puzzles, online games, or combinations of these on her tablet. It is to the point now where I don't think our bedroom TV in our S&B house has been turned on this year. The real big issue with the eltro-magic bed in Trek is getting to the bathroom at night, which requires the person in forward sleeping position to crawl over or under to get out of bed. For us the solution is to keep the bed raised a bit from the fully lowered position leaving just enough room to sit up in bed without hitting our heads on the ceiling, this leaves a comparable amount of space between the floor and the bottom of the bed, and we use a small folding 2 step, step stool to get in and our of bed at the aft side. I sleep to the front and am 6 ft tall, so to get out in the middle of the night I step down onto the engine doghouse cover, and sort of crawl under using the arm of the sofa and passenger seat for leverage. I am on the young side for the RV crowd being not yet 50, though I am also not all that flexible for my age as I fell and broke my back in 2010, so the acrobatics of crawling under the bed in the middle of the night makes me feel a bit like being in one of those cat burglar movies jumping over laser beams.
