I will add to this post as one who owns a 5th wheel bunkhouse. Don't buy strictly for the kids. The kids will be gone one day and no longer camp with you.
Sure you could trade again once they are gone ,but that will put you back at the drawing board.
I'm not saying don't consider the kids needs but I am saying don't buy strictly for the kids without considering the time line of kids move on vs. how long you plan to keep your rig.
Bunkhouse owner with no kids....LOL
Lantley is 100% right, you need to think long term about what your needs are now, and what they will be in the future.
If you really, really want a model with bunks for the kids now, then get one. Just keep in mind that one day you may have to find a way to re-purpose the bunk portion of your RV. And, there are a number of ways to do that.
Our bunks turned into a good storage area once kids grew up and quit camping with us. That worked fine for a while, but due to other major life changes that took place as well, we ended up trading, anyway, to a smaller (but much better quality) unit without bunks that is more suited for a couple (see signature).
