My only adivice is that if you are going the bunk house route. Get a floorplan that has a seperate bunk room vs. just bunk beds.

A traditional bunk house has fixed storage and fixed beds. A place for everything and everything in its place.

Excellent advice IMO.
I am also that guy anymore. We have all but stopped putting anything outside we aren't going to use except for my flag. 4th of July is an exception.
