Which bunkhouse model for our two sets of twins?
Wife is done with tents, it's time to move to a TT and would like some suggestions about what to look for.
A little about us:
It's my wife and I along with twin boys (11yrs) and twin girls (8 yrs) and one new puppy (expected to be 35-45lbs when grown). We don't mind being close together, and as twins the kids are used to being in the same bed on trips (and even sometimes at home!).
Tow Vehicle:
2014 Nissan NV3500 passenger with towing package
5.4 V8
16,000 GCWR (6,700 curb with all seats in)
8,700 towing
870 hitch capacity
Camping style:
70% larger parks with hookups
30% State and National Parks with tighter fits
Trips will be mostly long weekends with probably a one-two week trip once per year.
Desired TT:
Prefer around 30' or less, mostly to be able to get into somewhat smaller/tree-filled parks
Need a bunkhouse, we don't want to have to collapse a sofa and/or dinette every morning and put it back every night.
A double-wide bunk would probably work, since they are used to sleeping in the same beds. We don't mind sometimes having one on the sofa and one on the dinette, as long as it isn't every night.
Don't need ultra fancy, we expect to be spending most time outside, weather permitting.
New/Used, Cost
We prefer new to have a good warranty and avoid risks of poor maintenance (especially since we wouldn't know what to look out for in used)
Prefer to keep costs in the mid $20s, but we have a decent budget if it makes a huge difference in quality and usability.
Sorry for the ramble, I though more information might be better for suggestions. I appreciate your time and any suggestions for what to look for!
