Bunkhouse, why?
My first and current TT has bunks. HAD to get them for the grandkids. Two seasons later, they have NEVER went on a trip with us. We have camped with our daughter's family several times, they have their own TT, and THEN we get a grandkid or two sleep over with us occasionally.
I added a removable clothes rod to the bottom bunk to make it more useful. The upper bunk is a **** catcher. Love my grandkids but 90% of the time the bunks are a waste. I can strap up the lower bunk and use it as a storage area using the factory outside access door. We could have had a smaller TT or more living space for my wife and I if bunks weren't a key factor.
I like my TT a lot but without the bunks as a must, so many more options would have been considered.
Sounds like something I would have written when I owned a 28' BH.
I had a lot of wasted space, because 99% of the time it was only my wife and I.
These days when we camp, it's always just the two of us.
When I down sized I dropped from 30' to 20'. I love the smaller trailer, and it will fit in every space, even in old State Park Camp Grounds. Smaller trailers are easier to tow, and require less truck for towing.
