We are in our third 5th wheel. This third is a bunkhouse and it works well for us as we’re raising our three grandkids. It’s a quad bunk so there is an extra bed, and we usually have one of the kids friends along like we had this past weekend.
The advantages I see is their stuff can be closed off and it is out of sight. Also I get up a lot earlier than anyone else, and with the separate bed area, I do not have to step over beds, I can use the dinette, sit on the couch, make my breakfast and coffee and not disturb anyone.
The other grandparents have a rear living 5th and when the kids camp with them, they use the floor, the couch and the dinette for beds and the kids prefer the bunks.
It also gives a place for them to dress with privacy, and they can go to bed earlier and sleep later than if their beds are in the living space.
