We need to upgrade to a bigger camper. We are pulling with a 2500 Gasoline Ram. The problem is that I can't find one that checks off all my boxes. Maybe you can help???!!!
I want a travel trailer that our truck can pull, it needs to have a quad bunk house, it needs to have a big closet for 4 kid's clothes (with at least one hanging bar), it needs to have full underbed storage, it needs to have a large pantry and a 8cubic foot fridge, it needs to have room for towels (bath and beach), we are looking for electronic jacks and a higher quality made trailer in the $40,000 or under price range.
Thanks In Advance!
1 more thing: we did look at a Kodiak that I liked but then someone told us that they fade and don't hold up well. Any opinions on that?

The opposing rear slides are sweet and make a huge rear bunk room and the entire back wall is cabinets.
IMHO this is the best bunkhouse floor plan for the size (30 plus footers)

Look at the Sunset Trail Reserve 33BD. Just purchased one tou will love the room. I am towing it with a Ram 2500 hemi with no problems. Island kitchen, fireplace, outdoor kitchen, led lights built into the awning, 3 slides kids will have own 32" led tv in their bunkhouse. Take a look you will fall in love.
I love this trailer and the floor plan!! We couldn't buy it because it is too heavy for our TV.
The WhiteHawk we bought has 3 bunks in the back bunkhouse and a couch that folds down. I really like it and the kids use the couch quite a bit so I'm glad to have it instead of just a regular 4th bunk.
It's a light weight trailer though, so there is no slide in the rear bunkhouse to make the space bigger. There is a slide out wardrobe that fits tons of clothes and towels (we have six kids and even with 10 towels, all their clothes for a week and diapers there is still room) and because it slides out, doesn't take any space in the room. However it is accessible and the room is fairly usable even with the slide in.
This layout also has the separate bathroom entrance, which was a must-have for me.
The WhiteHawk doesn't seem that popular on this forum but we have been really happy with ours. The 2014 has some nice upgrades, including LED lights on awning and a tri-fold couch instead of air bed in the living room. Perhaps there is another manufacturer that makes this same layout? Dh and I have been very pleased with the layout and it works well for our family of 8.
However, there is no 8cuft fridge option and its not on the high end of TTs so you may want something more expensive with even nicer finishing. Weight was a big issue for us so we are pleased with the fit and finish considering this.
Just bought our first TT

The floor plan we settled on is offered by many manufacturers and has 2 slides in the BH creating a small play area for our young kids between the bunks. These models are not much more than new models the have only one BH slide but give you a lot more room. Cost differences are about $800-1100 extra.
Jayco Flight 32TSBH is our current front runner - Jayco has unique futon style mattresses in the lower sides of the bunkhouse which can be positioned in different ways based on how big your kids are or how people will be in the trailer. We could realistically cram 6 kids/young small teens in the bunk house.

I have the 31BHDS which is the 32TSBH minus the 3rd slide for the other half of the bunh house.
Honestly if I were to upgrade I would probably go 5th wheel. Not sure who makes a BH that would meet your needs.
Good luck
