Bunkhouse 5th wheels...suggestions

Hi to everyone,
For the past 5 years my family has done well with our old trusty Four Winds 29Q TT, but as of 3 days ago we finally sold her with intentions of upgrading to a 5th wheel, We have 4 kids ranging from 1 - 14 so we definitely need something that sleeps at least six with out having to fold something out every day. So far I have found the Montana Mountaineer 345DBQ and we really like the set up with 4 bunks in the back with two rear slides, but that really seem to be all I have found so far. It seems most 5th wheels have the living room in the back and are set up for couples to live out of them. Any other models other than mentioned about with this set up? We like the Montana but have a hard time finding ones for sale, also they are pretty pricey to boot for even a decent used one. I would really like to stay under the $30k mark. I look forward to the advice

  • Keystone Copper Canyon 324fwbhs and the Forest River Arctic Wolf 315tbh are 2 that I’m considering. Similar to what I have in a tt and I really want another full outside kitchen. The Arctic Wolf has a bath and a half which is nice too.
  • you should look at toy haulers with a loft as well. Some of them have two beds that come down from the ceiling plus a loft over the garage area. Some of them even have a second bathroom and with that many kids you might need a second one. The only downside with most bunk house models and toy haulers is that the kitchens are small with little storage and the fridges are usually small. They do work well for short trips. One other note, the toy haulers usually have large water tanks.
