That's been our major problem. Finding a good floor plan. I absolutely LOVE the front living. But my 20 year old daughter "may" move down to Florida with us to continue her schooling. So I would like her to have her own room. The montana 351BH has a great rear bunk/den area. Perfect for a family type room, office or spare bedroom. With its own half bath. But i don't like the sofa in the kitchen area in the "main' area. So the search goe's on. Now we are looking at some of the rear living with the bunkhouse in the center of the RV. Anyone know any brands with the "side" bunkhouse's. We are looking to spend up to about $55,000.00.
I know Cedar Creek offers a side bunk option and not sure if it was K-Z or Crossroads had one as well. Most BH will have a center kitchen/dining/living room in the center of coach. If your in no big hurry to buy just yet, mark your calendar for the Hershey RV show in Mid Sept or so. If you can go, see if you can stay for it's entire run at a local hotel and look at the 5th wheels that will be there. Take a notebook for each of you and w/o seeing what the other person is writing down, write down the likes/dislikes of each 5er/5er BH you go into (make sure to incl make & model #). Once done, make a spread sheet to compare at home and then start to narrow things down from there. Sadly, don't think you will find what you may be looking for in the $55,000 range. If you buy new, rule of thumb is 25-30% off MSRP is what you should be paying for it.
