Yes, they do exist, I own one. It's a Romahome R30 which is 5 mtrs long and utilises the front seats to form two single beds along with the 2 front facing rear seats. This leaves room for a slide out wardrobe and washroom/toilet on one side and a full kitchen on the other.
This model is pretty rare and I have only ever seen a couple, and an earlier Stimson which was the forerunner of the R30.

FYI, the newer Romahome R30's (which I would recommend - cost permitting), use the Ford Puma diesel engine and mechanics. The 2.2L 100bhp engine has a timing chain rather than a belt and is very economical. I get 35-38 mpg. It's a very nippy vehicle and the brakes are fantastic. Mine has had 3 Mot's without as much as an 'advisory'.
My previous van was on a Peugeot Boxer and was very reliable. The most problem I had with is was corrosion on brake pipes.

Autosleeper Symbol, Symphony or Duetto do not use the front seats for beds.
Harmony Symbol & Symphony are Boxer based. Duetto is Transit based.
