You can also keep the beds made, no converting at bedtime.
You must of had a different kind of pop up than we did. There was no converting beds at bedtime. The beds were already out and made all day long.
Another thing about a bunkhouse, when your kids get older, they will want friends to go with them, so more room the better.
Not necessarily true. At least not for everyone. We've learned to not buy based on what "might" happen. In 2010, we bought a 2010 31' bunkhouse w/2slides. It had 4 bunks in it. One was a trundle style so it looked like only 3 beds. We went with that because we knew that our daughter, who was about 9 years old then, would be bringing friends with her. In the 3 years we owned the TT, not a single friend came with us. Those bunks were only used once and it was a couple of my nieces who slept in them one night. They didn't go camping with us, but they happened to be staying in a cabin at the park at the same time and the cousins wanted to be together. For us, that last 8' or so of the TT wa a waste. She was only in there at bedtime. She dind't need all the bunks or space. We now have a Class C that is a 31' model. Her bed is above the cab. Takes about half the space of the bunk area of the old TT. She doesn't even sleep there. She prefers to sleep on the sofa (not folded out into a bed).
Bunk house RV's are like homes with a pool. To many people they are great and heavily used. Many have them, but rarely use them. And then when you go to sell it, you have a limited audience. There are people looking for a house with a pool, but there are many who are not or don't want to deal with them. The same for a bunkhouse RV. They are great for those that will actually use them and have a need for them. But I wouldn't plan my future based on what might happen. But to each, their own.
