Small bunkhouse RVs? Have I missed any?

What payload is left after you all load and hop in the 4Runner?

What is the payload capacity?

835# for vehicle alone. How much that takes away from towing capacity is TBD... Toyota's not clear on that, I'd need to see if there's a published GCWR and actually weigh the thing to get a firm number. But my plan is not to get close to the 5k limit anyway.

Is your hitch receiver rated for the extra tongue weight of the larger TT?

I will have to add TW to the spreadsheet I'm using to keep track of these. Some are going to be close to the limit loaded up.

Do you have a WD hitch?

No.

Winnebago and North Trail have bunkhouses.

Thanks. Looks like North Trail's bunkhouses are all too heavy though.

Winnebago Micro Minnie. current production models include the 1700BH and 1800BH and 2100BH. The 1700BH is single axle and the 1800BH and the 2100BH are both identical floor plan/dimensions w/tandem axles, the difference being that the 2100BH has the dinette in a slide and the 1800BH does not. Older 1800BH models if I recall were single axle.

It does not look like any of the Micro Minnie bunkhouses have a queen (60" wide) bed.

The Micro Minnie models have rubber roofs. If you want a little better, go to the regular Minnie models, they have fiberglass roofs and I think are wider (and heavier)

Glancing over the specs, I think all the regular "Minnie" models are going to be too heavy.

Hey, I recognize the username... are you the same Charles in GA from garagejournal? :)

KZ 181BH, single axle but lighter and more spacious than the 190BH.

That would be a great option if it had a queen bed. KZ's published specs show it as being 54" wide (double/full).

Thanks for the info y'all. Keep it coming if you know of more lightweight queen bunkhouse plans.

Wifey has revealed an additional "druther", that the dinette must seat 4. That combined with other requirements point towards a Jayco Jay Flight SLX7 184BS being best suited of the ones I've found. But we're probably 6mo off at least from doing something, so there's plenty of time to look for what else is out there.
