I'm with YC1 also, especially if the kids are older.
The bunks are "right there" outside the bedroom, next to the bathroom. Severely limits privacy in what I think of as "Mom and Dad's area".
Yes, that is an issue, and is part of the reason why we stayed with a towable RV for several years before going to a MH - Can't beat the privacy a towable RV gives, with kid's bunkhouse one one end of the RV, and adult's bedroom on the other. If that privacy is a big issue, IMO one may be better off in a towable RV that allows more of that privacy.
For us, we addressed that 'privacy' issue by installing a lock on the door going to our bedroom in the back. Between that, and turning on either the TV or AC fan in the back for 'white noise' to cover up 'other' noises....Privacy is not an issue for us. ;)
Our kids r older, only one camps with us regularly. Our coach has 2 jack knife sofa's that convert to beds in seconds, and Jr. has to fold and stow his bedding and flip his bed closed immediately on waking up.
There again, though, having them make up the beds as soon as they get up in the morning does not solve the problem in the evening - You lose your living, sitting area when they go to bed. That may well not be an issue for some, but for those of us that like to have some time of 'peace and quiet' after kids go to bed and before adults do....Well, the bunks are a requirement in that case.
