Triple/Quad Bunk Trailers
I'm looking to ditch our Fleetwood Bayside pop-up for a travel trailer and I'm hoping for some pointers. The Bayside has been great but we've outgrown it and frankly I'm sick of the compromises that come with a pop-up, so I'll be selling it in the near future.
We have three young kids so there are five of us. I want something large enough so we won't outgrow it in a few years. Tow vehicle is in the sig and as you can see I'm not really restricted in terms of weight, and in fact I prefer heavy and well insulated, but I am sensitive to length because I like to camp in tougher to reach spots. I want a travel trailer over a FW because I want the bed available for toys and whatnot.
I want each kid to have her own bed without having to break down a table or couch, which means a triple or quad bunk setup along with a full/queen for my wife and I. I'd like a big slide to help make it roomy inside. As mentioned I would prefer heavy and well insulated over lightweight since I'll use it pretty late into the fall for hunting.
I'm going to be buying used, and I actually would like something more than a few years old to save some bucks if possible. The problem I'm running into is it seems like most of the bunkhouse models with large slides are generally pretty new, and I don't really want to spend much over $10k if possible. I can afford more but I...well I'll just admit I'm a tightwad. Ultimately I may slide the budget up some but I'd like some input first on whether I'm being realistic or not.
Any pointers on models I might try to target? I live in Idaho but would be willing to drive to surrounding states to pick up the right trailer.
I appreciate any input you guys have.
