Bunkhouse Feedback

Every one of those is an entry level model. The quality will be very low. I would recommend looking at a different level of trailer!

Love our 181BH, but after having it a few years we're ready to move up. The biggest thing is the tanks are TINY which wasn't a huge deal in the past as we just used the bath house at the campground like we always had when tent camping. Now with covid it's becoming an issue as there's no way I'm using shared facilities so we now have to get full hookups even for a long weekend. The other big issue is it's pretty tight on bad weather days, definitely looking forward to comfortable seating for all 4 of us with the next trailer. I personally wouldn't even consider any of the other units since without the dinette slide they're absolutely cramped even on good weather days. Most of those manufacturers have a similar unit to the 181BH with the dinette in a slide, I'd strongly recommend looking at those.

That thing is light. And i see what you mean about the tabks.

I would definitely get a side slide out if you could manage it. So much more space. What is you weight max? I like mine , but if i had to do it over defently a side slide out.

Bunk house travel trailer have become scarce. Smaller families ? Less families camping ? COVID-19 has changed that. I expect you will see more bunk house trailer, especially in the <6,000 lbs size for next model year.

IMHO, and outdoor kitchen is a waste of interior space and adds weight and cost. If you want to cook outside, get a camp table and use a portable propane stove or better, a BBQ.

Even a small slide makes a huge difference in interior room. Same with Murphy beds.

The Top 5 Best 4 Seasons Travel Trailers Under 6,000 lbs GVWR:

1. Livin Lite Camplite Travel Trailer
2. Lance Lance Travel Trailer
3. Forest River Flagstaff Micro-Lite Travel Trailer
4. Jayco Jay Feather Travel Trailer
5. Dutchmen Aspen Trail Travel Trailer

These are built with higher standards.

I would consider the Keystone hideout 176 BH. Having the dinette slide would open up the floor space for those rainy weekends.

Unless ofcourse your opposed to slides.

They are all, I believe, entry lines from each of the brands. They all employ similar construction methods, one thing you may want to look at since you are apparently looking at new units is the warranty (which may or may not have a lot of value in itself) and their reputations for service and support, I think in general KZ and Jayco seem to have slightly better reputations for standing behind their products and do happen to offer slightly better warranties.
