Bunkhouse with door

Hi there! We're looking to buy a used travel trailer in the next few months and are doing some research to get a better idea of how much cash we'd like saved up and then what specific makes/models we'll be on the hunt for. One of the features we'd really like that doesn't seem to show up super frequently is a bunkhouse that has a sliding or hindged door (as opposed to a curtain). I stumbled into the Shadow Cruiser and have found that they seem to have a door. Googling this specific question is pretty convoluted, so I thought I'd ask the RV community here!

    My 2014 Salem 29ud3 TT has triple bunks with a door. It also has sliding doors going in to the front bedroom as well.

    My 28' Cruisers RV Radiance has a swing door. Their 31' model with dual slides also has a hinge door.

    My Forrest River Vibe 308bhs has a door to the bunkhouse. We like it due to the fact that the kids stuff stays back there out of site. Because they make a large mess.

    Many Crossroad TT's, including my 2013 ST29SS, have doors to their bunk rooms

    Welcome!

    Not sure what your price range is or how new you would like to look for. But the Jayco 32 BHDS has a sliding door. I don't recall for sure, but the older version I think had a door also, 31 BHDS I think it was. Built back about 8yrs ago maybe.... Came across a used one for sale when trying to decide used vs new last July.

    The Coachmen Catalina version of our Jayco I believe had a sliding door also. And maybe the Puma also.

    Keep in mind if looking at a newer model, say no older than 5yrs or so, that a lot of people are asking almost as much as a new trailer with a warranty. Reason is they didn't get the best price, added the extended warranty, then financed it for as long as possible and made the minimum payments. So they still owe a fair amount.

    What kind of tv (tow vehicle) do you have? Our 32 BHDS is in 2500/250+ territory. I have read of a few here and there towing with a 1500/150, but there are very few 1500/150 trucks with the proper ratings for this trailer or a comparable. Just make sure you do your homework before signing the papers!

    Good luck in your search!
