Lightweight Bunk House Options

Our 2011 Passport 290BH (quad bunk) is 5200 lbs dry and can carry 2300 lbs of cargo (we pack heavy so this was nice). Like the majority of TTs, it has a "RV queen" which is 6 inches shorter than a real 60x80 queen mattress. The Surveyor line carries real queen beds, something your husband would appreciate and will be in my next RV - 6'3" here. They are very light weight as well. Several new models now have arched ceilings that reach 6'9". My Passport is 6'6".

Most stick and tin campers, except Amerilite, have 6'9" ceilings. It's normally only the laminated trailers that have short ceilings. The Jay Flight Swifts SLX are also very low but they are an ultralite small camper with tiny beds.

All aluminum everything even cabinetry.

The Lance 2185 has a full length queen and three bunks in the back. A fully loaded one has a 4,400 pound dry weight and a 6,000 max weight. I know, I just bought one. It is very bright, well-engineered and comfortable as could be.

I actually saw this one on Saturday but was shocked at how much more expensive it was than all of the other brands... by $10,000! Is that common or was it just a fluke?

Camplites are pricey as well.

Oh dang - yes it is!!! I wonder what makes them so much more?!

Camplite 21BHS

Oooh I like that and hadn't heard of that brand. There's a dealer about 1/2 hour from us so we will definitely be checking that out. Thanks!

My Heartland North Trail 28BRs has been good for our family. We travel at 6500-7000 pounds loaded. We purchased when my youngest was 1 year old and slept in a pack and play on the jackknife sofa that many TTs have.
