Traveling with kids and no bunks?

But wifey often seems to get very...um, shall we say "frisky" when we're camping. Not sure why, and I definitely won't complain. Not having that isolation between us and the kids would cause many opportunities to go unfulfilled. There, I think I phrased that so it won't get bleeped! ;) LOL)

We opted for "living space" over dedicated sleeping space. Kids will sleep anywhere. They can even sleep on those jack-knife and pull-out sofas that would cause some of us to walk hunched over for a week. No problems for them. :)

LOL Rick I couldn't help but chuckle ... Having space between us and the kids is on my mind too :) and your point about living space is well taken.

But, my kids are now 6'0" and they barely fit on the bunks. So, the wife and I are trying to decide what is the next rig we will be getting. I doubt it will have bunks. I think we are at the point of air mattress on the floor.

Thank you Jim - definitely food for thought - I like the bunks in that all the kids' junk is in one place and wife and I can "confine the mess" in one area - the best we can. OTOH mine are going to be tall so the bunks won't be the solution for forever.

Since we are full timers, the bunk beds are very, very useful. Mostly because each child has a place for their stuff. There are wall pockets and three drawers under the bunks. That also leaves us the pull out bed for any guests.

Given your intended style of travel, I'd say you could go either way, but I doubt you would ever regret getting the bunks.

Hard to disagree with this last statement - this will really depend on what I'm able to negotiate with my employer, but I intend for our MH purchase to be followed with cross country trips every year, for weeks at the time. Instead of weekends or a week here and there parked at a destination, I'm hoping that we have the ability to be mobile and see the USA. I think bunks have the edge there for me, but in the end it will depend on the budget. We've got a few dominoes waiting to fall, and if they are just right - bunkhouse it is. If not, we'll probably land in a MH without but either way we're going to do some road trips!

Thanks to everyone for the tips :)
