Flip-up bunk?

It's finally time to get a new unit. We danced around the issue last fall, decided to wait, but it's time.

Long story short - looked at an 06 Outback 21RS at a local dealer the other day. Really liked the side door with the bottom flip-up bunk. It would suit our particular needs very well. We need a place for dog crates at night. It's complicated. :)

That particular TT was not in the best of shape, though, and even at a pretty good price I'll still pass. Crack in the fiberglass at the bottom corner of the slideout, bubbles in the front cap, peeling wallpaper in the slide, just to name a few.
I'd be open to that model if we found one in better shape, but also wondering what other options are.

I could take or leave the rear slide, but a permanent queen bed is a must, and a bunk that either flips up or could be removed without destroying the trim, etc is a big, big plus.

Due to TV limitations the trailer needs to be under 25ft and weigh less than 5000 dry. Open to suggestions.

    Jayco makes a x213 that is similar . I have one and really enjoy ours. Rear king slide with flip up lower bunk with side door access for storage.
