We have 3 kids and really like our trailer, although our priorities may be a bit different.
Why we bought the trailer we did, Wildwood 26TBSS
1. Each kid has their own bed, they are fine with the smaller single beds, no complaints after having larger beds before.
2. Trailer length less than 29' from ball to spare tire
3. Very open floor plan
4. We get our own bed and private bedroom
5. The bunk beds give the kids a place to put their stuff during the day if we happen to be inside when raining.
Our last trailer had double over double beds and our neither of the older two wanted the youngest in their bed anymore. He had moved to sleeping in the cabinet/bunk over our bed. Having their own bed was more important than anything. It is easily a bigger bed than a sleeping bag they would be in out in the tent. If they get big enough to want more padding, that is easy to add. Kids are flexible, they get in and out of the bunks easily. I can see they might not work great for some adults if they are not flexible. Sleeping would be fine, getting in and out would be tougher. If we ever have an adult with us (not likely often) then we'd make the dinette into a bed as it would be a nice sized bed.
We would have gone with a bigger bunk house model as it would have given us much more storage, which would be nice, but I don't want to haul 32-33' of trailer around. Where we go the 29' trailer seems too big at times.
