5 Best Travel Trailers with Slide Outs

If you have ever traveled or vacationed in a trailer or RV, you know how much fun it can be. At the same time, you have probably realized how important space can be. While larger options are a little more expensive, it can be worth it to make sure everyone is comfortable and happy.

Travel trailers with slide outs allow you to create more space where there wasn’t any before . In most cases, slide outs are best found in bedrooms. However, many RVs and trailers have slide outs on most of their sides, letting you extend your walls and create a roomy living space.

Whether you have a large family, or you and your spouse just prefer to have more room, you should look into trailers that include slide out features. To make your search a little easier, we’ve laid out a few of our favorite models for you.

Best Travel Trailer with Slide Outs 

• Flagstaff Classic Super Lite 832BHDS Travel Trailer
• Coachmen Catalina Legacy 333RETS RV
• Forest River RV Wildwood 31KQBTS
• Keystone Outback 322BH Travel Trailer
• Keystone Hideout 31RBTS

How We Picked Our Favorites

We chose our favorites based on the most convenient slide outs—and the ones that made the most sense space-wise. This included taking a good look at floor plans to see how each trailer or RV utilized their space.

Since trailers and RVs with slide outs are all about space, we also took a look at the amount of storage that these models have. Storage can be essential to properly use your space well. We looked for a lot of overhead storage, hidden closets, wardrobes, and kitchen pantries. It’s always a good idea to check out the external storage on a trailer, too.

We like to make sure that all the models we recommend have fully functional kitchens with all the appliances you need. We also like it when they feature large bathrooms, and if possible, more than one bathroom.

Master bedrooms are another good thing to take a look at, especially if you prefer privacy and a larger bed. Whether you’re single or married, queen-sized master bedrooms give you the comforts of home while on the road.

In addition to the larger features, many other added features can make a good trailer a great one. Consider a few of these extra features that can tie your trailer together with both space and comfort:

• Extra seating
• Two bathrooms
• Full-sized shower or tub
• Double-door fridge
• LED lighting
• A tasteful mix of carpet and hardwood
• Double sink
• Kitchen Island
• Outdoor kitchen
• Upgrade packages

Enormous Slide-Out Camper Floor Plans with 3 to 4 Slides

No matter what type of travel you prefer, you can probably find a camper that fits the bill. Some people want something that’s small and easy to pull. Other people want something that feels more like a home, with all of the features and luxuries you can imagine. Especially for those with large families or for people who will be spending several months (or more) living out of their RVs, enormous slide-out campers with a variety of roomy floor plans can provide the comfort you’re looking for. 

Benefits of a Slide-Out Camper

Slide outs (aka slides, slide rooms, tip outs, or bump-outs) are used to increase the room available within a travel trailer or RV. They can be found in just about every size of camper from small pop-ups and teardrops to luxurious RVs.

In general, slide-outs are found in the sides or the rear of the rig with mechanisms that allow you to extend out and retract them back in to make the unit compact for traveling. The mechanisms can be manual and operate via a system of cables and pullies. However, more commonly in today’s RVs, you’ll find electric systems or hydraulics that operate with the simple push of a button. Hydraulic side-outs are more complex, but they’re also more powerful, so they can handle larger, heavier slides than electric versions, which operate with a small motor. 

Rack and pinon slides (aka electric through-frame slides) tend to be the most popular as they have fewer movable parts that can break, require minimal force to operate, and are flush with the main floor. This is important as there’s a minimal bump in the floor when the slide is open or closed. They do, however, take up more room than some other options. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Slide-Out Campers

One of the biggest benefits of a slide-out camper is more living space. You may also be able to save money and have more flexibility with towing as slide-outs offer additional room even if you choose a shorter or smaller trailer. Slide-outs can also add more light and ventilation for units if they have windows in the sidewalls.  

There are, however, also drawbacks of a slide-out camper. For one, there’s an added layer of complexity. Slides can fail or break, especially if they aren’t properly maintained. They need regular maintenance to ensure they stay aligned, lubricated, and sealed to prevent leaks or mechanical failures.

Another drawback is reduced insulation within the slides, which could make it more difficult to maintain comfortable temperatures when they’re extended.

Finally, sliders add additional weight, so you may need a larger vehicle to pull the slide-out camper, or you may need to cut back on your gear. This can also affect how well the trailer performs on the road.  

Slide-Out Camper Maintenance

Because of the complexity of the moving parts, electrical components, and perhaps hydraulics, regular maintenance is required to ensure the slide-out remains trouble-free. Maintenance includes:

• Cleaning out the dirt and grime that can build up from road travel and storage. Clean it thoroughly after storing as well as before and after your next trip. This is also a good time to inspect it for any damage to the paneling or seals or fraying cables.
• Lubrication can help prevent excess wear and tear from the friction of all the moving parts. It can also prevent seals from tearing, which can lead to leaks. After cleaning, use rubber seal lubricants that are designed for your seals, so they don’t damage the rubber or lead to dirt build-up. However, before using a lubricant, check with the recommended maintenance. Some slides only need to be cleaned and don’t need extra lubrication on the rails.
• Check for alignment issues and ensure the gears and rails close evenly from side to side and top to bottom. If it is out of alignment, make adjustments immediately to prevent damage.

Your system may need further maintenance if it has hydraulics, electric motors, or cable drivers.

Slide-Out Camper Floor Plans

Slide-out campers come in all shapes and sizes. But if you’re traveling with a large family or friend group or you’ll be living in your slide-out camper for an extended vacation, a bit more room can be a lot more comfortable. Here are some of the most popular options:

• Jayco Eagle 338RETS : These large luxury travel campers offer a comfortable master bedroom with a queen (or king) bed with slide out. So you have plenty of room for the family to spread out, providing all the comfort of home away from home. The slide-outs on both sides of the living area provide room for a comfortable trifold sofa to relax and watch movies or play games, a spacious kitchen with rolling island option, and an area to dine. You’ll also find a well-equipped bath with shower and even room for a washer and dryer.
• Grand Designs Reflection 315RLTS : No matter where the adventure takes you, this slide-out camper will take you there in style and comfort. It’s been tested to withstand temperatures as low as zero and soaring over 100. There are several models available. The 315RLTS version comes with a spacious plan and three full slide-outs, which allow for a queen (or king) bed with wardrobe and underbed storage. The bathroom is large and feels even bigger with the skylight and glass door. A second and third slide out on opposite sides expand the kitchen, living, and dining space, so there’s plenty of room to spread out for the whole family. 
• Palomino Puma 31RLQS : Similar in layout to the Grand Design, this rig offers ample room and an open floor plan. It also provides a larger bathroom with linen closet, plush recliners, comfortable carpeting, and room for the whole family to gather in comfort.

Other enormous slide-out campers with 3 to 4 slides to consider include: 

• Forest River Rockwood Ultra Lite 2706WS
• Keystone Sprinter Limited 330KBS
• Highland Ridge Open Range Roamer OT310BHS
• Coachmen Freedom Express Ultra Lite 320BHDS

All of these options offer similar comfort and features with a variety of floor plans to suit your preferences and budget.

To help filter out this somewhat flooded field, we’ve compiled a comprehensive review of some of the best travel trailers with bunk beds.

Here are 8 Of the best travel trailers with bunk beds for families or a large group of campers:

Grand Design is one of the more well-known travel trailer brands when it comes to thoughtful comfort and layout.

They are a real favorite amongst families who love to travel with their kids. The Imagine is one of their more popular models.

About The Travel Trailer’s Sleeping Accommodations

The 2400 BH floorplan for the 2021 Grand Design Imagine was designed to maximize sleeping space while compromising as little living space as possible.

In the front of this travel trailer, you’ll find the master suite with a true queen size bed. There’s also plenty of overhead storage for his and her wardrobes.

In the rear, you will find a pair of double-size bunk beds. If necessary they can also serve as bike storage when you are underway.

This is a great layout for traveling with teenagers. Especially when you consider the distance between the rear bunk beds and the front master suite!

About The Travel Trailer’s Living Accommodations

True to the Grand Design line, the Imagine 2400 BH has a lot of the creature comforts that RV traveling families prioritize.

There’s a complete bathroom in the rear that has a shower, flushing toilet, and a sink.

The freshwater and wastewater storage tanks are also large enough to support a family using the bathroom and kitchen for a few days of boondocking off the grid.

The kitchen has an impressively large pantry that also holds the entertainment center. It’s perfectly positioned in front of the U-shaped dinette table. 

Of course, this isn’t the only place you can cook. The 2021 Grand Design Imagine 2400 BH also has an outdoor kitchen with a small reach-in refrigerator, and a propane quick connect for fueling a gas grill.

This means you can cook a full meal outside without the heat competing with the 15,000 BTU air conditioner.

2. The 2021 Forest River – Cherokee Floorplan: 274 DBH

• Dry Weight of 6,407 lbs.
• Payload Capacity of 1,298 lbs.
• GVWR of 7,705 lbs.
• Hitch Weight of 705 lbs.
• Total Fresh Water Tank Capacity of 46 gallons
• Total Gray Water Tank Capacity of 64 gallons
• Total Black Water Tank Capacity of 42 gallons
• Sleeps up to 10 people
• Air Conditioning 13,500 BTUs

The Cherokee is one of Forest River’s most popular travel trailers. It has a lot of the basic creature comforts that a traveling family wants, with plenty of sleeping room for a family or a group of friends who love to travel together.

On paper, the 2021 Forest River Cherokee 274 DBH sleeps up to 10 people, though this figure might be a little ambitious.

Sleeping 7 to 8 people comfortably is more realistic. Still, that’s a lot of heads in beds for the very comfortable price tag Forest River puts on the Cherokee 274 DBH.

In the front, you’ll find a true master suite with a queen-size bed. There’s also a pair of wardrobe closets that reside over a large pass-thru storage compartment.

The confines of the master suite are arguably a little bit tight, but that’s just to make room for more sleeping and living space in the rest of the travel trailer.

In the back of the 2021 Forest River Cherokee 274 DBH, you will find stacked double beds in a bunkhouse configuration.

There’s even a very convenient ladder to get to the top bunk. The U-shaped dinette and the Sofa also convert into reasonably comfortable sleeping space.

It’s a great option for times when your teenage children want to have their friends with on an overnight stay.

This is where the small sacrifice in the cramped master suite pays off. Not only is the kitchen large, but it also has a big pantry as well as a refrigerator and a three-burner stove with an oven. Not to mention the very large sink.

In the rear of 2021 Forest River Cherokee 274 DBH, you will find a complete bathroom with a flushing toilet, a sink, and even a shower stall with a deep enough basin to serve as a tub for bathing small children.

The freshwater and blackwater storage tanks are reasonably large. The 64-gallon gray water storage tank is impressive and lends itself toward children who frequently need to be reminded to wash their hands.

There are two possible complaints with the 2021 Forest River Cherokee 274 DBH it’s that the 13,500 BTU air conditioner is a little weak for the interior size of the travel trailer.

A 15,000 BTU unit would have been better. So, you will need to plan on bringing a fan or two with you to spread the cool air around on a hot and humid summer day.

The other possible complaint is the location of the TV’s entertainment center. It is mounted to the wall at the front of the travel trailer right near the master suite. 

Not only does it create inconvenient sight angles throughout the living area, but it also makes it hard for the adults to go to sleep if the kids want to stay up watching TV.

This is a minor complaint, and with a little ingenuity, you could sacrifice a little pantry space to mount the TV at a better location for everyone.

3. The 2020 Coachmen – Apex Floorplan: 300 BHS

• Dry Weight of 5,977 lbs.
• Payload Capacity of 1,623 lbs.
• GVWR of 7,600 lbs.
• Hitch Weight of 672 lbs.
• Total Fresh Water Tank Capacity of 50 gallons
• Total Gray Water Tank Capacity of 35 gallons
• Total Black Water Tank Capacity of 35 gallons
• Sleeps up to 9 people

Coachmen is another one of the industry leaders in the travel trailer marketplace.

The 2020 Coachmen Apex 300 BHS has a pair of the large slide-out sections that really give it spacious sleeping and living space.

The front of the 2020 Coachmen Apex 300 BHS houses a master suite with a true queen size bed.

There is also a pair of wardrobe closets as well as a fair amount of reasonable storage.

The front of the 2020 Coachmen Apex 300 BHS also houses a large pass-thru storage compartment, though it can only be accessed from the exterior of the travel trailer.

The rear of the 2020 Coachmen Apex 300 BHS is impressive with sleeping and living space.

The large slide-out section holds a futon with an overhead bunk opposite a pair of small bunks.

There’s also a fair amount of floor space making the rear feel a lot like a separate living room.

At the very least, you could put a second TV in the rear to give the kids a place to hang out all on their own.

The main living room area blends with the kitchen in a true open concept.

Though the TV is mounted on the front wall, which doesn’t always make for great viewing angles if you have three people sitting on the couch.

Not to mention half of the people sitting in the dinette will have their back to the TV.

The bathroom is a little small, but it still has a flushing toilet, a sink, and a modest shower stall.

The 50-gallon fresh water storage tank and the 35-gallon gray water and black water storage tanks are a little bit small for a large family that wants to boondock off the grid.

Though if you’re the type of family that likes to park up at a campground with full access to resources, this is a non-factor.

4. The 2020 Cruiser RV – Embrace Floorplan: EL 310

• Dry Weight of 7,200 lbs.
• Payload Capacity of 2540 lbs.
• GVWR of 9740 lbs.
• Hitch Weight of 940 lbs.
• Total Fresh Water Tank Capacity of 44 gallons
• Total Gray Water Tank Capacity of 30 gallons
• Total Black Water Tank Capacity of 30 gallons
• Heater 30,000 BTUs

Cruiser RV isn’t necessarily a household name in the RV and travel trailer industry.

Though they have been steadily growing their market presence since the 1980’s thanks to their constant dedication to quality craftsmanship.

The 2020 Cruiser RV Embrace with the EL 310 floorplan seems to have been designed to give children their own separate place to sleep and play.

So, it’s a great option for families with a lot of kids or a family whose kids like to bring their friends up for a weekend at the camper.

The 2020 Cruiser RV Embrace with the EL 310 floorplan really impresses with a king-size bed in the master suite, as well as a rear section that’s perfect for the kids.

The tradeoff with such a large bed in the front master suite is that you do lose a lot of floor space and storage for clothing.

Just fixing the bed can be a challenge, but that’s a small price to pay for the room to really spread out when you’re sleeping.

The rear bunkhouse is integrated with one of the travel trailer’s two slide-out sections.

It has a futon with a bunk over top as well as a bunk over the compartment that houses the exterior kitchen.

The bench-seat dinette and the love seat also serve as functional sleeping space.

On paper, the 2020 Cruiser RV Embrace EL 310 will sleep up to 10 people, but 7 to 8 is more realistic. Especially if you’re going to be traveling with teenagers.

The interior of the 2020 Cruiser RV Embrace EL 310 is impressively spacious.

Though there isn’t a ton of seating in front of the TV, which is mounted on the front wall of near the master suite.

The bathroom is also large and features a shower stall that’s deep enough to bathe a child in the basin, as well as a sink and a flushing toilet.

Though the freshwater and wastewater storage tanks are a little small for a family that likes to boondock off the grid.

This is a non-factor if you like to stay at RV parks or you plan to keep the travel trailer at a seasonal campground with water and an RV dump station close at hand.

It’s also worth noting that the bathroom has a second access door.

The rear of the 2020 Cruiser RV Embrace EL 310 is also impressive. There’s plenty of sleeping space for 3 to 4 teenagers.

The slide-out section also makes enough floor space that gives them a separate place to relax and hang out without always being in your hair.

There is also a hatch for an outdoor kitchen in the rear. While you do technically sacrifice a bunk on the inside to accommodate it, the ability to cook outside is very handy.

It’s really nice on hot humid days when you don’t want the warmth from cooking a basic mid-day meal to compete with the 15,000 BTU air conditioner.

5. The 2020 Keystone – Hideout Floorplan: 272 LHS

• Dry Weight of 6,069 lbs.
• Payload Capacity of 1,711 lbs.
• GVWR of 7,780 lbs.
• Hitch Weight of 780 lbs.
• Total Fresh Water Tank Capacity of 43 gallons

Keystone is another one of the industry leaders in RVs and high-quality travel trailers.

So, you knew they were going to bring a thoughtfully designed unit like the 2020 Keystone – Hideout Floorplan: 272LHS to what is a rather hungry marketplace.

Not only is it nicely appointed, but there are several optional upgrades that you can select directly from the manufacturer as well as many of their affiliated dealers.

On paper, the 2020 Keystone Hideout with the 272 LHS floorplan can sleep up to 10 people.

However, that is making some liberal use of double beds to sleep, two people. In the real world, you can comfortably sleep 6 to 8 people.

In the front, you will find the master suite with a queen-size bed. There’s also room for his and her closets as well as a convenient laundry chute.

The large pass-thru storage compartment isn’t immediately accessible from the master suite. Though this is usually the case with exterior storage bins.

In the rear, you will find two large bunk beds. Measuring in at 52 X 74 inches they’re perfect for teenagers.

There’s even enough room to stow a duffle bag. The dinette booth and the jackknife sofa also serve as a sleeping space.

There are a few touches of luxury woven into the 2020 Keystone Hideout 272 LHS.

The optional upgrade to a 40-inch HDTV and the fireplace in the entertainment center is worth the price. 

Interestingly, there’s also a central vacuum system port that makes cleanup a breeze.

If anything it saves you space by not having to keep a hand vacuum cleaner on board.

The kitchen has a good amount of storage space, including a large pantry that’s located right next to the refrigerator door.

There’s also a three-burner stove with an oven and a dual basin sink. The bathroom in the rear shares a wall with a large bunkhouse area.

It has a flushing toilet a sink and a relatively large walk-in shower.

 Here again, the freshwater and wastewater storage tanks are a little on the small side. Especially if you have two or more teenagers traveling with you.

It pretty much means with the 2020 Keystone Hideout 272 LHS, you are going to spend most of your time at campgrounds and RV parks.

Though, there is still enough water storage capacity to handle a night or two of boondocking off the grid.

6. The 2020 Dutchmen – Aerolite Floorplan: 2423 BH

• Dry Weight of 5,722 lbs.
• Payload Capacity of 1,878 lbs.
• GVWR of 6,680 lbs.
• Hitch Weight of 742 lbs.
• Total Gray Water Tank Capacity of 39 gallons
• Total Black Water Tank Capacity of 28 gallons

Dutchmen is another one of the more well-known and beloved travel trailer manufacturers in the RV industry.

Every year their loyal customer base hit the open road with models like the spacious, lightweight 2020 Dutchmen Aerolite 2423 BH. 

With one quick look at its interior, you get the feeling they designed this travel trailer with families in mind.

The 2020 Dutchmen Aerolite 2423 BH features a spacious master suite in the front of the travel trailer.

It has plenty of room to accommodate the queen size bed as well as a pair of wardrobe closets and copious overhead storage.

Though the front pass-thru storage cannot be accessed from the interior.

If there’s one complaint here it’s that the foot of the bed is very close to the wall, and the entertainment center is hanging on the other side.

It makes it hard to fall asleep if say the kids want to stay up watching movies after the adults want to go to bed for the night.

In the rear of the 2020 Dutchmen Aerolite 2423 BH you will find power jack bunk beds that are large enough to let a teenager sleep comfortably.

There’s also storage space for a pack & play. This is a thoughtful design for large families with children of different ages.

About The Travel Trailers Living Accommodations

One thing you will notice immediately about the 2020 Dutchmen Aerolite 2423 BH is the large bathroom.

It has a flushing toilet, a sink, and a large shower staff with a basin that’s deep enough to bathe a small child.

The bathroom and the kitchen sink are both supported by a large 50-gallon freshwater storage tank as well as a 39-gallon gray water storage tank and a 29-gallon black water storage tank.

There’s even a 6-gallon water heater, which is enough for two people to take a quick hot shower.

The kitchen is somewhat small and compact, though it has an open concept with the living area to keep everything feeling spacious.

It has a dual basin sink, a 3-burner stove with an oven, and a durable mid-size RV absorption refrigerator.

If there’s a complaint about the kitchen it’s the location of the pantry, which is on the other side of the travel trailer from the refrigerator and the range top.

This might be frustrating at times, or an excuse for you to work on your new dance moves when you’re cooking and need to quickly grab a can of beans.

7. The 2020 Keystone – Passport SL Series Floorplan: 175 BH

• Dry Weight of 3,325 lbs.
• Payload Capacity of 1,175 lbs.
• GVWR of 4,500 lbs.
• Hitch Weight of 410 lbs.
• Sleeps up to 6 people
• Furnace 30,000 BTU

The 2020 Passport SL Series with the 175 BH floorplan is another well-designed travel trailer with bunk beds from Keystone.

It’s lightweight with only a 410-pound hitch weight, which makes it easy to tow with a half-ton pickup truck. Yet it can still sleep up to six people at a time.

About The Travel Trailer’s Sleeping Accommodations 

The 2020 Keystone – Passport SL Series 175 BH can sleep up to 6 people on paper, but that’s counting on two people sleeping in the convertible dinette bed. In the real world, it sleeps up to 5 comfortably for a night.

In the front of the travel trailer, you’ll find a queen-size bed that will accommodate full-size sheets.

Though there is no dedicated door, so it doesn’t quite count as a master suite. Still, there’s a wardrobe as well as a nice amount of overhead storage.

In the rear, you’ll find two bunk beds, which will sleep school-age children but could still accommodate teenagers.

So, long as you give them their own storage elsewhere in the travel trailer.

The kitchen has a single basin sink as well as a two-burner stove with a small oven.

There’s an RV absorption refrigerator, along with a pantry and a fair amount of overhead storage.

The bathroom has a sink, flushing toilet, and a decent size shower staff.

The entertainment center in the 2020 Keystone – Passport SL Series 175 BH is oddly located above the two-burner stove, which might not be the best idea for sensitive electronics.

It might be better to buy an aftermarket TV stand and put it near the front bed.

This would keep the TV away from the heat and steam of the stove, while still letting you position it where people can see it easily from the dinette.

8. The 2020 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 154BH

• Dry Weight of 2,600 lbs.
• Payload Capacity of 850 lbs.
• GVWR of 3,450 lbs.
• Hitch Weight of 295 lbs.
• Total Fresh Water Tank Capacity of 10 gallons
• Total Gray Water Tank Capacity of 20 gallons
• Total Black Water Tank Capacity of 20 gallons
• Sleeps up to 4 people
• Air Conditioning 8,000 BTUs
• Furnace 18,000 BTU

The Jayco Jay Flight is one of the more popular lightweight travel trailers in their line.

With a 295-pound hitch weight and a dry weight of 2,600-pounds, you could tow it with an SUV or perhaps a light-duty pickup truck. Just try not to push the payload weight.

The internal layout also works nicely for a small family, or perhaps a single parent who wants to travel with two children.

There’s even a fair amount of storage space for toys and other essential items.

The 2020 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 154BH has a front dinette that quickly converts into a full-size bed. It’s just about right for one adult or perhaps two small adults.

It has a fair amount of overhead storage to keep essential items up and out of reach of small children.

This travel trailer has two bunk beds located at midship. They’re big enough to sleep a middle-school-age child or teenagers. There’s also a skylight over top to help let in a little night breeze.

For a small travel trailer, the 2020 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 154BH comes with an entertainment center, complete with TV and some additional wardrobe space.

There’s a two-burner stove in the kitchen, a single basin sink, and even a microwave in the standard package.

The bathroom has a flushing toilet, as well as a modest shower stall. Though there is no sink. Any handwashing will need to be done in the kitchen’s single basin sink.

For a small, lightweight travel trailer the 2020 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 154BH has relatively large freshwater and wastewater storage tanks. 

There’s enough capacity to bring additional portable freshwater for washing hands without having to tap into the Jay Flight’s fresh water storage tanks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are slide outs good or bad for a travel trailer.

Power retractable slide outs used to be the sort of thing you found on large Class A motorhomes. Over the years they’ve been showing up on fifth-wheels and travel trailers.

In the case of a travel trailer with bunk beds, a slide-out section or two is a great way to gain some precious interior space.

The trade-off is that slide-out sections usually increase the weight of the travel trailer . This means you will need a larger tow vehicle and you will likely see fewer miles to the gallon when towing.

So, while it’s certainly a matter of preference, you might want to prioritize a travel trailer with slide-outs, if you are going to be traveling with more than two children. Especially if they’re teenagers, who often need more space.

How Can I Improve The Placement Of The TV In My Travel Trailer?

When it comes to travel trailers with bunk beds, you’re often sacrificing some of the internal space and swapping it with sleeping space.

Unfortunately, this sometimes translates into TVs or entertainment centers being placed in some unusual locations.

There is no hard and fast rule saying that you absolutely must keep the TV where it is. You could just as easily install a small entertainment center or TV stand in a better location.

Just make sure you are thinking about how you’re going to move any satellite TV wires and power cords.

Also, take into account the weight of the entertainment center and count it against the travel trailer’s payload capacity as well as the gross vehicle weight rating.

As you can see, there are a lot of great options to consider if you are looking to buy a travel trailer with bunk beds for your family.

Finding the best one will depend on the number of people you need to sleep on a nightly basis, as well as your preferences for space.

If you have some teenagers and you want to give them a little added privacy as well as give you some elbow room of your own, you the 2020 Cruiser RV Embrace EL 310 might be the best travel trailer with bunk beds for you. 

The slide-out sections and thoughtful floor plan give the kids a veritable living room and hangout space all their own.

If you’re a single parent who wants to introduce their children to the thrill of life on the open road, and you’d like something lightweight to tow, the 2020 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 154BH might be the best travel trailer with bunk beds for your family.

A family that loves to boondock off the grid, then you want a model with a lot of freshwater and wastewater storage capacity.

In a scenario like this the 2021 Grand Design – Imagine 2400 BH , might be the best travel trailer with bunk beds for off the grid camping.

Whatever your family’s preferences, chances are the best travel trailer with bunk beds for you is somewhere on this list.

Pros and Cons of Slide out

Having a slide out in your RV makes it completely different game. Here are the pros of having a slide in your camper.

1. Provides extra space

A slide out in a camper is great innovation that provides you extra space that can be collapsed while travelling. You can have long lengthy RV but having a wide RV is not possible. A bigger width makes a great home like living space using a slide.

2. More sleeping capacity

Enjoy more sleeping capacity when you have that slide out on your camper. Most slide have dinette that are convertible into beds. Some also include bunk bed inside the slide out.

Though it may seem that having a slide out is a must and very advantageous it does have some disadvantage as well. Before you close your eyes and make a purchase read below points about cons of slide out in campers.

1. Overall weight increases

A slide out does give you that extra space but it dramatically increases the weight of the RV. Though it may seem like a compact package, the weight is equivalent to a longer RV. Hauling a heavy travel trailer as you know is difficult and puts extra stress on you as a driver and on the car or truck as well.

2. Reduces mileage of the car

Towing a heavier travel trailer means less miles per gallon for your car or truck. This can add up when you travel a lot. The weight added by slide out can really make the difference especially if you want to travel on budget this will not make sense.

3. Mechanical Issues

Any moving parts in your RV will face issue over time. Stuck slide is a common issue if it is not maintained properly. Though such problems will be rare, but having such a issue will cost you much on repairs.

4. Leaks in and around slides

If you ask a RVers who faced leaks n the RV , where the leaks were. Many would answer it was near their slide. A moving slide with gaps has greater tendency of leaks specially if it is not maintained properly.

Final Thoughts

Having more slides on the travel trailer is a great thing as they provide extra space. But having RVs with opposing slides is far better because they significantly expand the space. This is especially important when it comes to kitchens and living areas, the rooms where people gather the most. So it makes sense that campers want their spaciousness. 

Although the opposite slides come with risks such as poor performance, leakage and stuck slides, campers agree that the spaciousness they get with opposing slides is worth the risk. Keep in mind that there are a number of travel trailers with opposing slides, the ones we talked about in this text are just a small fraction of the offer on the market.

What Makes a Travel Trailer Great For Year-Round Use?

The term year-round use actually suggests the capability of the travel trailer to camp through the hottest summer days and the coldest winter nights. If truth be told, we can live through summer days, but our actual concern when we talk about 4 season suitability is the extreme winter conditions.

When looking for a 4 season travel trailer, we suggest that you look at the following factors to determine whether it is great for year-round usage or not. Not every model boasts all these elements, so the more the better...

Dual Pane Windows

Windows are the number one culprit for letting the heat and cold in. Even when tightly shut, thin glass is not enough to prevent heat loss.

That’s why travel trailers, which are meant for year-round usage, are equipped with dual pane windows. These windows have two panes of glass with some air trapped in between to prevent the heat or cold from seeping inside.

Enclosed Underside 

Frozen tanks and pipes are any camper's worst nightmare. Water starts freezing at temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. An important feature of a 4 season travel trailer that is meant for year-round use is an enclosed underside to keep your tank and pipe in a usable state. Some trailers also have heating elements installed inside their tanks to keep them from freezing.

Wall and Ceiling Insulation

Another important factor that makes a travel trailer suitable for year-round use is its insulation capacity. The walls and ceiling are built with layers of different materials. These layers determine how resistant or insulated the body is to heat loss. This measurement of insulation is represented by R-value. The more the R-value, the better the insulation.

Hatch Cover

Hatches are all openings at the top of the trailers. Hatch covers also play an important role in making a travel trailer suitable for year-round use. You can install a vented hatch cover to let the hot air out during summer and a firm, dark-colored one to keep the inside of your travel trailer cozy. Dark colors, like black, also help absorb more heat radiation from the sun during cold weather.

Air Conditioning and Heat Duct Systems

Most modern travel trailers are equipped with advanced air conditioning and heat duct systems. These help keep your trailer cool during summers and hot during winters. They have openings either on the floor or along the walls, and the more the openings, the better the system.
