Bunkhouse 5th wheels...suggestions

Honestly, most manufacturers have some kind of bunkhouse model.

Sabre had quite a few. My 2013 36QBOK is setup very similar to what you saw- bunk house with dual opposing slides in the rear. They also had a model with only 1 slide in the bunkhouse to save on weight.

Back when we were shopping in 2011/2012, I made a spreadsheet of all of the bunkhouse models that I could find. Ironically, my camper isn't on the list as my wife found it as they were releasing the 2013s. We literally bought it based on pictures of their pre-production model.

Here's the spreadsheet. Maybe it'll help you.

And, Lantley and I have very different opinions on the 1/2 bath. Even before we fulltimed, I love having it. Keeps the kids (and guests) and their mess out of my space.

I hear you on keeping them out of your space. But I don't consider the toilet my space. ...LOL But I do understand your point.
I just don't think the convenience of having a shorter line at the bathroom is not worth the additional work it takes maintaining the tanks. I understand Dumping is a necessary evil, but dumping 1/2 empty black tanks vs. full tanks is a waste of time.
All of us on this forum enjoy RV'ing, but wee know RV requires lots of effort. That 2nd black tank tilts the effort scale for me. Which is why I eliminated it. My 1/2 bath closet has become a great additional storage space. I should patent my new custom floorplan
From a broader perspective I come to believe that duplication in a RV is a waste. With that in mind the 1/2 bath space could be put to better use.
Outdoor kitchens are questionable because I don't need:2 stoves, 2 microwaves, 2 fridges.
I prefer to use that space for something else vs. duplication.
