24-28' Bunkhouse... Any love/hate opinions??

How many more years until you are empty nesters and need no bunks?

We are in a 35 foot bunkhouse that we bought 2 years ago. Our youngest is going to be 20 but still comes from time to time. We love the space. Never really liked the 2 bunk type cave beds, especially as the kids get older. There is a lot out there and if you are doing it alone with a TV I wish you luck.

I'm actually moving the opposite direction of you... looking to upsize as the kids are getting bigger and I need some separation while out on cold/rainy days. A separate room for the kids to read/watch TV would be HUGE.

Yes, one of the nice things we have that it seems would have to give up is the wooden door between the main area and the 4 bunks at the back. We love that for putting the kids to bed.

We just upsized to a 26footer (29 total). It's most always just the wife and I and the pups. But we needed the floor space for two large sleeping dogs. Our bedroom is only separated by a curtain, but with only a 5 year old grand son or occassional adult kid, we're good with that. (Hate the closed in feeling of a boxed bedroom). Our model is made by Gulfstream, the Ameri-lite line. Model 259BH. We are quite happy with it. Empty weight 5050.

Often we go to book at campgrounds and have to choose the "32+" size which exlcudes us booking smaller sites which are more plentiful and available.
Plus our TV is getting old and we are thinking of replacing it with something else so it would be nice to have a bit more flexibility. The 32 weighs around 8,000.

Is there a reason that you must downsize? I always think there is nothing wrong with having more room than you need
