Triple bunks/quad

Hello!

Looking for a TT under 21 ft with a triple or quad bunk. My husband and I don't need a permanent bed...so is there anything out here with only the bunkhouse and a dinette to keep length down?

We have 3 little kids and want to transition to a small length from tenting.

Hoping to avoid hybrids.

Thanks!!

  • I found this one on the local CL:

    With this layout you could put the older ones in the bunks the youngest on the dinette and mom and dad get a queen bed.
  • When we started looking for our first camper about five years ago we saw a used Aerolite with four bunks up front, center bath and the master bed slide off the back. It was either 21 or 23 feet.
  • Ya, knowing if you mean 21' hitch to bumper or a 21' box makes a difference.

    Would two of your kids share a bed? If so, there's the Keystone Fireside 19 which has a double bed with bunk over top and then the couch and dinette can be made into beds. It seems to have a long hitch though, so 23'4" towing length with the 19' box.

    If you mean 21' box, the Lance 2185 has a triple bunk and queen sized bed.

    The Jayco 184BH is 20" hitch to bumper. It only has double bunks but I believe both the sofa and dinette can be made into a bed.

    If I think of anything else I'll post again.
  • Do you mean under 21' total length or 21' in camper length? My trailer is 22' from bumper to hitch, but only 19' of actual camper..

    It has a queen bed up front, middle kitchen/dinette, rear bath.

    No way to have quad bunks in this thing, unless you took out the rear bath and put the kitchen/dinette up front leaving you with a fold down bunk on the dinette.. Not sure where the bath would go??

    Can't say I've seen one of those floorplans..

    Back in the day when I was a kid, my folks had a 1976 Taurus that had quad bunks in the rear, middle kitchen/bath and the front was the dinette that folded down to a bed.. But, it was about 26' at least in total length..

    I remember camping in a 1963 or so 12' Shasta trailer before we got the Taurus.. Had us 2 kids and Mom and Dad in that one! :)

    Good luck with the search.. What I'm seeing out there now for "bunks" all seem to be over 26' to 33' in length now a days...
