Bunkhouse with master bed for tall person (Jayco 28BHBE)

I am looking for a bunkhouse type travel trailer with enough room in the master bed to fit a 6'3" tall person. I am seeing most of the bunkhouses such as the Jayco 28bhbe having a center entertainment center that is almost touching the foot of the bed. I have not personally been in the 28bhbe but am looking for some input from folks that have this type of setup and if they run into bed length issues. Also any other suggestions for other bunkhouses would be greatly appreciated.
  • I'm 6'4" with a front queen and entertainment center wall like you describe. My TT came with an RV queen, 74" long bed. I added an 80" long mattress topper which cannot quite fit. I do okay, but I'd like more space for sure. There are several brands that offer residential queen beds, 60x80". Keystone Laredo 291TG for example. Another option is something with a master bed on a slide, like Keystone Outback 301BQ. While the mattress is only 75" long, there is plenty of room for a longer one.

When I stretch out all of the way my feet just touch the entertainment base, but I usually lay a little at an angle and it is not a problem at all for me.


    I have the same arrangement, and I'm 6' tall and have a couple inches to spare to the entertainment center. And usually I find that I don't have my head all the way down towards the head board. When I move all the way to the head board I have a lot of room to spare.

  • I like my Crossroads Zinger ZT33BH, but it's a big heavy beast of a trailer.

    I'm 6'-1" and I'm comfortable in the queen bed up front. It's a "Camper queen" so it's not quite as long as a full size bed, but there'd be enough room to extend it to a full size queen with a bit of lumber and a new mattress.
