The Jayco 154 BH has a yellow sticker weight of 2,590 pounds, 3500 pound gvwr. Has two bunk beds and the usual dinette for sleeping three in their own bed. Dry bath with shower and tub, micro, AC, H W heater, Propane/electric refrigerator, furnace, power awning, spare tire, two year warranty, $11,995
Biggest negative is small holding tanks.
A great model I'm sure BUT the OP clearly wants not only bunk beds but a bed of her own that doesn't have to be set up, not a dinette that does. That Coachmen Apex Nano 185BH she expressed interest in meets this requirement, as well as having decent sized 30 gal holding tanks, the same size tanks I have on my Coachmen Freedom Express 192RBS. I still think it's worth weighing her Pathfinder to determine exactly what it's real world payload capacity is, then plugging those numbers into the towing calculator I sent her.
Moving up to the Jayco 174BH model would include a short queen in the front that doesn't need set up. At 85" wide this would present a little less frontal area than the Apex Nano 185BH. According to Jayco's web site the 2017 174BH has increased black/gray tank capacity to 20g each.
