Dad looking for family's first camper. Bunk vs. Rear living

If the kids are 5 years older (in their teen years), and the home is only a couple miles away, more than likely, in 5 years, the kids will stop coming, or at least spending nights in the camper. Once they get old enough to start working and driving, they start living their own lives. They won't want to go to the camper any more, if parents are there.
