Quite a few companies build a full featured Caravan here for Children as well
Still not ideal IMO. The triple bunk arrangements leave barely any room between the beds. They leave little more room than a coffin. Double bunks are MUCH better. Since kids grow, they'll need the space when older.
Still, there's some that would work but not ideal. As I said, my old Jayco Jay Flight 19BH had a great floorplan for a family that needed a light and short trailer. 2 on the double bed, 1 on the 300 lbs capacity single bunk above the double bed, 2 on the 70" X 44" double sofa bed, and 1 on the 72" X 38" dinette single bed. A total of 6 sleeping areas or 5 sleeping areas and a full dinette left for a short 22.5' trailer.
For Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, the Hybrids as Jayco's Larger Expanda models seem to be the better family camper. These are even better than the US model being they have a double door design for the bunkends, one to support the mattress and one to cover the entire bunkend from glaring sun/heat, rain and condensation. If US Hybrids had this design, I would had considered them.
