Looking, but... No Trailers for Neanderthals
We sold the Jay Flight 32BHDS last spring, and downsized to an F-150. Thought we'd be done camping for a few years, as the kids hit high school, and all would go well. Hmmm. Well. THAT was a farce...

Toedtoes, we have always glamped. Canvas on a '76 Rockwood pop-up is as close as the kids have ever gotten to roughing it. It's A/C, showers, TV for severe weather (not movies), and the outdoor kitchen. Never cooked inside a trailer in 20 years. I'd take a trailer without a kitchen.
I doubt the DW and I will ever go without bunks. We have no friends that camp, so we need to accommodate our friends that we chose to invite for a weekend.
I think the kids are going to go with and try the stacked double bed bunks. If they can't handle bunks, then they can opt out of camping, or use the couch/dinette and set up/take down each night/morning. The whole thing is that we won't use the trailer over the next five years that much. High school and competitive swimming has us so busy throughout the year on weekends, our weekends of camping have died out. Seems the school now tells us our family time on weekends and holiday weekends are THEIRS, not ours. Sorry to rant. Maybe the mom & pop trailer IS the way to go.
