BH suggestion

I have a 16 Jayco Whitehawk 24mbh that has been a solid camper. I have a 7,4 and 5month old, that loves it. the couch/Murphy bed works great. Bed is A tad small for me (6’4) but not as bad as others I tried, But The Murphy bed works with the slide in and it’s not too bad to get past the slide to get to the back of the camper. it has a good amount of storage space, But I added more under the sofa and outside kitchen
that said I see they changed up some for 18 and it’s missing the small wardrobe and bathroom tub and the outside bathroom door.
Maybe look for a 17 leftover

One thing to think about is the size of the bunk beds. Ours has full size bunks. Not so claustrophobic, and you can put multiple kids on each one. On our last big trip, we had three grandkids on the top, and our daughter and two of her kids on the bottom. And we didn't get the usual "he's touching on me!" or "stop breathing!". Plus, we use them for storage when we are alone.

Thanks for the reply, we are looking at trailers from 19' all the way to 28' and are really unsure as to what to get. The double bunks do seem like a nice upgrade with the bigger trailers. As of now we are checking out the smaller units with the intention of upgrading in a couple years if we get the use out of it we think we will.

Another question for the forum, how big of hit do you take on trading in a unit after a couple years typically?

Thanks again

Does anyone out there own an Apex Nano 193BH? Looking for input on smaller bunkhouse models, any suggestions and input would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion, I have seen the Imagines online and the 2400BH definitely has peeked our interest, I just need to see one in person. Another I recently found was the Keystone Passport 2400BH.

We own a Grand Design Imagine 2800BH which is a great floorplan for a family. Double bunks and lots of floorspace and the master is a walk around full size queen which is a huge plus . There are quite a few people on the Grand Design Imagine facebook page that tow with the F150. If you wanted to go a little smaller they also have an Imagine 2400BH which is essentially the same floor plan minus the trifold or theatre seat option. They both offer a small outdoor kitchen which consists of a small fridge and 2 burner stove with a nice size storage shelf. If its in your price range I would highly recommend looking at these 2.

SoundGuy - you refeenced not opting for the murphy bed because it would limit space, can you elaborate? That is the option we were considering and didn't realize the pass thru was infringed on.

Any Murphy bed assembly takes up considerable space which otherwise would be front pass through cargo compartment space in any trailer with a conventional front queen walk around bed. My own trailer would be a great example - just a 19' couple's model but has a HUGE front pass through cargo storage compartment which NO trailer with a Murphy bed will offer.

Campmania - which dinette option do you have? Did you look at the murphy bed option before purchasing?

Thanks everyone for all of the responses so far!

SoundGuy - you refeenced not opting for the murphy bed because it would limit space, can you elaborate? That is the option we were considering and didn't realize the pass thru was infringed on. Also thanks for the link, we will definitely look into this model as well.

One really good point that SoundGuy made was the short queen bed. I forgot that I changed this in ours because I cannot stand having my feet hang off of the end of the bed. I bought a new piece of OSB and extended the bed support out a few inches and then bought a regular queen size memory foam mattress from Amazon. This was the best mod that I have done so far! The Double over Double bunks are very nice once the kids want to have their own space. I enjoy the outdoor kitchen especially when I am cooking and cleaning fish as I don't stink up the inside and it is nice to wash up outside! The dinette's are not real spacious as pointed out.
