Bunkhouse

[Jbrooksrealfood]

Howdy! We are looking to love from our travel trailer to a fifth wheel. We are looking at bunkhouse models with at least three bunks and a slide in the bunk house. Anybody have any suggestions?

The FR Sandpiper 365SAQ is a beautiful unit. We looked at one and decided to go with FR Sandpiper 366FL. Our kids are 14 and 16 and will be gone before we know it. They pull out both couches into beds. We have room where can spend time as a family and be comfortable and then turn the living room into there bedroom. Told our kids if they privacy to go for a walk. Good luck, you'll the fiver.

We have 15 and 17 year old kids and went with the Montana 3850FL for the same reason. It's one of the few front living rooms that is more private.

The Keystone Mountaineer 356TBF fits your bill: http://www.keystonerv.com/mountaineer/models/356tbf-new (sorry if the link doesn't work... I'm on my iPad). It's a beautiful unit that we seriously considered.

We have the Jayco Eagle 365BHS and love it! However, it is heavy and while the two bathrooms sounds nice, it's a pain. Pain only because during a typical weekend and only four of us the black tanks only get about 1/4 full each. Separate black tanks means more time filling with water to flush and more time draining at the dump. Not sure I would go with the double bathroom again. Otherwise, like I said, LOVE IT!

Something we do with the bath and half setup is ensure the half bath is only used for number one. When it comes time to flush the tanks at the end of a trip, cleaning out a tank that only had pee in it takes a lot less time than the main bathroom with #1 and #2. Just something to think about.

Just bought a Cougar 330 RBK. Floor plan looks like it would fit your bill.

We are looking really hard a the jayco 345BH. Trying to: 1) stay under 39' so we can sill get it in the driveway 2) get a slide in bunkhouse 3) get a 1/2 bath for kids 4) would like an outdoor kitchen. Just trying to find other plans/campers to compare with jayco. Plus wife did not like jayco kitchen counters. Thanks!

We have had a Forest River Salem Hemisphere 346QBUD that we've been enjoying for a year. Right at 40'. Bath and a half, 3 slides (master bedroom, full length living room slide, and one in the bunk house. Outdoor kitchen, large awning, etc. I chose this one because it is very light for its length and all the slides were on the street side so they don't encroach on our camping space. It's loaded up with larger fridge, dual A/Cs, 10-gallon water heater, remote control for main functions, washer/dryer hookup, etc. I bring this up because we may be getting out of RVing for a while and it's possible I'm gonna' sell it. Been kept in covered storage and is in excellent shape. Shoot me a private note if you wanna chat about the unit in general or my particular RV. Great family floorplan with tons of storage.

What level of trailer are you looking at? Entry, Mid level, or home mortgage and Fiver payment are the same level?

There are many different options at every level.

For entry level I like the Puma 295- BHSS

For Mid-Level I like the Jayco Eagle 34BHTS

For super luxo level I like Open Range 427 BHS.

but there are tons and tons other models out there. It just depends on what you are looking for and how much you want to spend.

Thanks!
