I can't give specific feedback on moving from a bunkhouse to a rear living arrangement. However, we had a TT and our two boys had to sleep in the dinette and the couch. They loved it because instead of sleeping in a coffin sized bunk they got 3/4 of the trailer forward of the bathroom to themselves at night. We did have to limit the stuff they brought and that was okay. Kids never complained.
I will say that the couch needs to be examined closely. If it's a couch that converts to a futon type bed then I suggest YOU laying on it and seeing if you can streatch out. Some of those futon couches are short. You want a longer one. If the couch is shorter try to go with the fold out air bed set up.
One other consideration...the rear living trailers CAN have high teen tongue weight percentage. Like 15 plus % tongue weight loaded. Just remember to take that into consideration.
On edit...I forgot I was in the fiver forum. Pretty sure normal fiver pin weight % applies here.
Thanks!
