Finding the right coach - Bunkhouse with 15K towing?

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a coach that can meet a few specific needs and I'm not sure what models I should be looking at. Hoping someone knows of a few and can point me in the right direction.

Basically I'm looking for a diesel bunkhouse that can tow 15,000 lbs (two Jeeps on a double car hauler). Preferably a Class C, unless there's a Class A bunkhouse that also has one of those drop beds over the driver seat. Three kids and want to avoid converting dinette or sofa, so the beds are a must.

I'm trying to stay under $100k, and preferably under $80k, so obviously a brand new one with these features is out of the question.

The closest match I've found so far is an 08-10 Gulfstream Supernova Bunkhouse, which has everything I need but even at 8-10 years old they're still on the high end of the pricing spectrum. I'd be OK with spending that much on something a few years newer, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around dropping $100k on something ten years old.

So I'm hoping there are some newer options (2013+) out there that I haven't found yet - searching the selling sites like RV Trader is difficult because sellers don't always list all of the information or tag the features properly, and models seem to change year over year, so I'm having a heck of a time even knowing what ones I should be looking at. Hope someone knows of a few I can be on the lookout for.

Thanks!

  • Found this one on RVTrader. Doesn't say what the tow rating is, but this is what you should be looking for.

    A saw a real nice super C on a Ford 550 chassis, Duramax. Beautiful coach.
  • Nexus Ghost 36DS with bunks. International chassis.
    25,999GVW and will tow up to 20k.
  • Pricing aside, you need something like a Super C built on a Freightliner chassis to tow that kind of weight.
