DP models that work well for families

There are a lot of bunkhouse models now but fewer in that vintage. We are big fans of the bunkhouse version. It is because of how we travel and RV. We have been RVing since 2000 and our first unit didn’t have bunks. It was a major nuisance and the wife and I couldn’t sit and relax after we put the kids to bed since their beds were the sofas. So when we upgraded we insisted on a bunkhouse model. This proved to be a much better solution for us. We have had bunks on every RV since. The kids go to bed and we can relax. Our current unit is a Thor Palazzo 33.3 with an ISB 300 and Allison MH 2100. This means we are limited to 30,000# GCWR and 26,000# GVWR. But it works for us. Used units in the 2013 - 2015 range can be had for about $100,000 - $120,000. There are significant build quality issues with the earlier 2013 - 2014 units but in most cases they have been resolved under warranty by the time they are being sold used. I know what to check for the biggest thing is the 3Trax in wall slide vs. the earlier 2 Track system. In most cases the system can be upgraded to the 3Trax system with nominal costs. The rest of the stuff is just irritating warranty items. If you decide to go with a Palazzo let me know and I’d be happy to help. We looked at a Berkshire Legacy and it was more expensive than the Palazzo but could have worked as well.
