Only option for 7 and rear quad bunk tt, plus the other kid on the couch. You need to find spots for 10 towels, multiple extra bedding, and food storage. 100 gallon water, and big honking duramax one ton van.
I have a 2 year old and 5 year old camping,and I have gone through 3 sets of sheets in one night.
I had actually considered a toy hauler and setting the kids on their own camping stretchers LOL! it's doable and I am more than happy to customise and.... much lighter... but for some reason I have found that the toy haulers are slightly more expensive than a TT?? correct me if I am wrong...
I'm hearing you on the wet bed scenario... not sure if they are fully bed time trained, accidents happen, they are kids... I need to consider washing and drying too.... with 5 kids, it's kinda ridiculous so not sure how I will cross that hurdle. I have seen some washer/dryer combos and a mod that someone had done in their TT with a conventional dryer/washer combo, but you need to get the water and the juice (electric) in order to run....
Lots to consider in deed.... hope you got the packing all sorted and you did 't need to throw any punches, it can be frustrating at the best of times trying to get the kids out the door.... let alone packing and organising 'stuff'.... I hear ya!
btw - aim is to not have anyone sleeping on the couch/diner

You need to have all 5 in the back of the TT. It will be tough. I would first get the du
duramax extended one ton passenger van, AWD,and then start looking for dual rear slide bunk room TT. This is a min $75k purchase before you can even consider where the clothes, towels, bedding, and kids needs will get stored.
Camping styles will be limited to full hookups only. We blow through 60 gallons a weekend with 2 kids. Resorts and state parks have onsite laundry. I visuallize 10 bath towels, 10 beach towels, diapers, swimming diapers and bulk laundry detergent.
