To all of those that responded with bunkhouse model suggestions and pointed out that I obviously was not looking. I think I stated in my original post that the bunkhouse was not a real option as they are mostly designed for kids and would require fairly extensive modifications. That is not something you really want to do with a brand new trailer. Most bunkhouse models have nothing more than a curtain between it and the rest of the floorplan.
Your exact words were: "..need two bedrooms or at least two separate and private sleeping areas." A bunkhouse qualifies as a private sleeping area.
There are bunkhouses that are just beds in the living area with a curtain, but there are some with actual doors separating them.

Yes there certainly are and that is what I sleep in now. However the vast majority of Bunkhouse models are designed for children with small beds, low to the ground or up a ladder. As an older adult why is it so surprising that I would want a trailer with a real adult sized bed, closet space and maybe (gasp) even a nightstand? All of this without having to renovate a brand new trailer to make it happen. Further many bunkhouse models are just a bed up against a mere curtain... I really would like a place to stand up and put my pants on without being in the middle of the living area.
I know that's a lot's to ask but far less has been done by the RV Mfg's for far smaller buying segments.
