Why 2 tent beds and not just one on all HTT's?

Hi everyone

We are so torn between getting a hybrid or just a regular TT. I wish they had some floor plans with just one tent and a inside queen bed.
It seems all the HTT's have 2 end tents. Is there a reason for that?
My perfect floor plan would be 1 tent and one inside queen bed and instead of the j couch it would be a lazy boy kick out couch.
Any body know of such a plan?

Each bunk bed gets a window. Top bunk has a slider, and bottom has a PITA emergency tilt out. Kids bunks with breakable hardware that gets disabled with a pool noodle. Black lab sleeps back by the kids and usually stays back there all weekend. Once in a while he manages to get onto the front bed. Geriatric 9 year old English lab.,

HERE is the back of our unit. The coffin bunks work well for adults in the winter. At the foot of each bunk bed is a cabinet. I put toy bins in each upper and lower. At the time of shoot our 4 year old slept fine on the lower bunK. The one year old slept in a pea pod plus and had a playmat next to it. Dirty clothes basket up top.

The side bunk has 3 cabinet doors but loses a lot of space due to wheel well. You can lift up the lower rear bed to the rear storage area. Amazing little 21ft bh.htt

The top bunk of our htt is great for toy storage, blankets, pillows and sleeping bags. Makes me appreciate it more each time it gets discussed. You need to look deeper at floor plans and visualize where dirty clothes, towels, beach towels, extra sheets, dry goods, and other stuff for a weekend or week.

Kids have blowouts, puke, and wet the bed at inconvenient times it seems.

We have a BIG storage bin that sits outside the camper near the tongue.
All of our dirty clothes go in there so it doesn't stink up the camper.
Then the bin goes in the bed of the truck for the ride home and right into the laundry room.

We're also a family of 5. I put plastic storage bins with drawers (bought at Target) into the wardrobe and smaller cabinet above the bed. These provide plenty of storage space for clothes. Dirty laundry goes into laundry bags in the tub (easily removed when we want to use it).

We are a family of 5, clothes go into the vertical cupboard in drawers (plastic tower) and in duffle bags in the tub. Towels go in the little cupboard near the jack & jills.

Mine only has 1, but also has the jack & jill bunks at the back, then the U dinette (which we sleep on when turtled). Climbing over the U use to bother me, but it doesn't anymore now that I shove the table to one side and just 'walk up' into it.

Does have a tub/shower combo! We really love it.

Frankly, I don't know what my wife would do without two bunk ends.She uses the spare as her closet,hanging clothes from the top support bar. You've never seen a person with so many changes of clothes.After 34 years, you just learn to work around it I guess. Just close the curtains and it all disappears. She always looks great though!;)

One thing I don't like about my 21BH is climbing over the dinette to get to bed. That is why, in a few years, she will be sold.

the NT22 tent exp bh is better layout (slideout couch) than the roo 21bh, and r-vision variants TSE21bh.
i always liked the bh hybrids and currently own a unique variation at 21FT 3400lb/5000lb bh hybrid. Family camper/turtled hunting rig.
Sleeps 6, no couch or slide, anytime access, and bunkbeds across the back for -15 to 25f hunting trips, or the kids in the summer. No u-dinette to climb over bwahahah.
