Our first 5er was a Springdale 283 bunkhouse. Served us well. We had 2 warranty claims. The table developed a sag in the middle and the outdoor shower shot a knob across a camping sight. In both cases Keystone shipped the parts directly to us and paid return shipping on the shower unit. They didn't want the table back.
After a few years we did get some creaking from the wood framing. not sure if they are still framing in wood. Also the under belly wasn't enclosed.
We ended up moving to a cougar bunkhouse after about 5 years. Just changed over to the rear living as the kids are starting to move out.
I looked at your floor plan and depending on the kids ages you might want a separate room style bunk area rather than bunks that open to the living area. Think 2 days of rain.
