Bunkhouse TT Suggestions

Hi All!

My family and I are looking into getting started with a travel trailer. Im 33 my wife is 35 and our two boys are 3 and 6. We are struggling to find exactly the right TT. I was hoping you guys might be able to point us toward some good options.

About us. I'm 6'4" and 300 lbs. So we need at least a queen sized bed. We want bunks for the kids and would prefer a u shaped slide out dinette. Other than that we want something in the sub 7,000lbs LOADED weight range if possible. We are having to purchased a new TV as well and we aren't sure that we will be able to spring for the HD F250 etc.

Are there any decent small bunkhouse trailers that would fit these needs? And have enough length in the master bed for me? Thanks a lot! Can't wait to see you guys on the road.

I found the Jayco Jayfeather X213 and thought it was perfect. Bunks and even had a King bed! But the wife feels like the interior common space in the dinette/kitchen is too cramped.
  • Remember the rule, buy or select the trailer first then match a tow vehicle to it. Your kids will only get bigger and the amount of bikes and toys they will want to take will only get heavier. In your situation a 3/4 ton may be more than just desirable for the necessary payload.

    That one is pretty cool. I need to look more into the weight of it. I really would like a 3/4 ton truck I'm just not sure I can push my budget that far yet. I spent a few hours looking around and I haven't really seen anything yet in my price range.
  • Check starcraft,all the mfgs make a bunk house BUT I am about the same size as you 6'4.... MANY only have short queens and a lot dont tell you that on their website.....

    At you weight requirements you may have a hard time finding something not cramped.....

    Get A 3/4 ton truck it will open up your options as others have stated in your other thread... You will be happy you did, and now is a good time to buy.....
