Bunkhouse research

I'm looking at upgrading to a bunkhouse. So far I've only looked at the Prowler 32RBHS I really like how it is laid out.

Likes
Rear bunk house has a door to close it off.
Size of the bathroom and separate outside door.
Location of the outside shower. (by the rear corner)
Master bedroom has sliding doors.

Dislike
I really only have one, and it seems to be a common thing in the newer trailers I've looked at.

The size of the master bedroom is very small. I'm not sure I could get dressed in there.


I'm looking for comments/suggestions of bunkhouse models to look at. My tow vehicle is a 2000 F250 7.3PSD SRW.


Thank you

We have a Sprinter 311 BHS and love the bunkhouse. Ours has 3 plus a trundle. We have three boys, so each gets their own bed. They love it back there (we have a TV and sometimes a game system for night/rainy days). It's really nice for everyone to have a little space.

I need two bunks.
But... I have two boys, who each have friends they are starting to invite camping. The prowler has 3, but two of them are pretty big, and there is room on the floor to put a sleeping bag or two if necessary.

I was just looking at my profile, I need to update the ages on those boys. They're 11 and 9 now.

Agree with APT, above. I don't know that our master bedroom is any larger than what's currently on the market, but our TT does not have a solid wall between the bedroom and the rest of the trailer. Instead there is a curtain that you can use for privacy. We also have a window at the headboard/front of trailer that lets in light and eliminates that "closed in" feeling I get in most master bedrooms I've seen lately. And yes, we do have room to get dressed in the bedroom, due I think primarily to the 101" width of our TT.

Go to as many RV shows as you can and visit as many dealers as you can. Pictures and videos from the Internet are fine, but you can't get a real sense of space until you're actually in the unit itself.

Small master bedrooms is an issue I have with many bunkhouse floorplans too. How many bunks do you need? I always liked the Keystone Outback 301QB. It has been discontinued, but they now have the 324CG but only 2 bunks. I also like the Open Range Light 305.
