The Best Bunkhouse Travel Trailers of 2024

Bunkhouse floorplans are unique, providing more sleeping space than other floorplans. Families significantly benefit from bunk beds. Whether for grandparents taking their grandchildren on a weekend camping trip or a family heading cross-country , bunkhouses offer designated sleeping spaces for children.

These floorplans are also easier to manage. Instead of converting a dinette or sofa every night, kids can sleep soundly in comfortable beds. No one has to remove cushions or reattach a pedestal table for the day’s events.

A bunkhouse travel trailer is also an excellent option for people who want a more affordable towable RV. Fifth wheels are generally more expensive than travel trailers. So, if you’re a camping family with a limited budget, there are bunkhouse travel trailers to suit your needs.

You’ll notice that trailer models have abbreviations like FK, RK, BH, RL, and others. These letters indicate the type of floorplan. For example, FK or RK means “front kitchen” or “rear kitchen.” RL means “rear living.” If you’re searching for a bunkhouse unit, look for the letters BH. Ten of the twelve models we’ve listed below use this abbreviation. So, not all bunkhouse travel trailers will have the BH, but most do.

What Are The Best 2024 Bunkhouse Travel Trailers?

We’ve chosen 12 of the best bunkhouse travel trailer floorplans, ideal for campers looking for additional sleeping space. Whether you need double over double bunks for more than two children or single bunks to provide private sleeping spaces for one or two kids, we’re sure you’ll find a model you love in the list below.

Remember that bunkhouse travel trailer floorplans need room for bunk beds, which means the living space is usually smaller. Unless you’re willing to go long and heavy, you’ll have to sacrifice space in the kitchen, dining, and living areas to provide the individual sleeping space of bunk beds.

Here’s our list of the 12 best bunkhouse travel trailers of 2024: 

Keystone Springdale Classic 1800BH

Keystone hideout sport 175bh, forest river campsite reserve 26cj, east to west longitude 285bh, forest river wolf den 16ev, heartland pioneer bh261, jayco jay flight slx 260bh, coleman lantern lt 18bh, forest river cherokee grey wolf 26dbh, jayco jay flight slx 174bh, forest river alpha wolf 26dbh-l, heartland mallard tailwind t265bh.

Five other models that narrowly missed our top 12 include the following: 

• Keystone Springdale Classic 1760BH
• Heartland Mallard M26
• Forest River Campsite Reserve 23LM
• Jayco Jay Flight SLX 184BSW
• Coleman Lantern LT 274BH

To make them easier for you to compare, we’ve separated them by RV manufacturer: 

Keystone Bunkhouse Travel Trailers

Keystone RV is a well-respected brand in the RV industry. Cole Davis founded Keystone in 1996. Since then, the company has worked its way to the top of the towable RV market. Today, there are over one million Keystone owners, making the brand the top manufacturer of towable RVs in North America. Currently, Keystone produces travel trailers, toy haulers, fifth wheels, and destination trailers.

Travel Trailer Specs

• Length: 20’6”
• Dry Weight: 3,036 pounds
• Cargo Capacity: 1,314 pounds
• Sleeping Capacity: Up to 6

Why I Chose It: Compact, simple design

The Keystone Springdale Classic line offers single-axle travel trailers towable by light-duty vehicles. The 1800BH features a rear corner set of bunk beds next to a full bathroom. There’s a small kitchen equipped with a 3.3-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, a microwave, a sink, and a two-burner gas range.

I love the simple design of this trailer. There are no slide-outs, which limits the interior space, but this also reduces potential repairs and overall wear-and-tear of these mechanisms. The kitchen and bathroom have everything you need to cook and clean without all the extras, making the Keystone Springdale 1800BH budget-friendly.

Across from the kitchen is a booth dinette with overhead storage for pots, flashlights, s’mores roasting sticks, and more. A queen bed sits in the front of the trailer. There’s more overhead storage for clothes and a closet to stow dirty laundry or hang jackets.

If you’re a family of three or four, this bunkhouse travel trailer floorplan is an excellent option since it gives each person a private sleeping area and a place for the family to gather at mealtime. You can also utilize the dinette for card games or rainy-day art activities.

• Dry Weight: 3,020 pounds
• Cargo Capacity: 1,330 pounds

The Keystone Hideout Sport 175BH also has the rear single over single bunk beds beside the bathroom. I love this layout – and the previous one – because of the kids’ easy access to the bathroom. The bathroom is just a foot away if there’s a nighttime emergency.

The refrigerator is half the size of the Classic unit’s, at 3.3 cubic feet, but the kitchen still has a microwave, two-burner cooktop, and sink. There’s also the booth dinette with overhead storage, the queen bed with shelf storage, and a closet. The Keystone Hideout Sport 175BH has a 10-foot powered awning, just like the Springdale Classic.

Like the Classic 1800BH, the Keystone Hideout Spot 175BH is an excellent option for a small family who just wants the basics. If you want an entry-level trailer with space to accommodate three or four people, this bunkhouse travel trailer may be perfect for your needs.

Forest River Bunkhouse Travel Trailers

Forest River is one of the giants of the RV empire. The company not only has its line of travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, destination trailers, tent campers, and motorhomes, but it also owns other brands like Coachmen, Dynamax, Palomino, East to West, Prime Time, and Shasta.

If you’ve been to an RV show or walked around the campground, you’ve likely seen dozens of Forest River units. While narrowing down such a large selection is challenging, I’ve chosen four Forest River models to make the list of the top 12 best bunkhouse travel trailers in 2024.

• Length: 32’9”
• Dry Weight: 6,421 pounds
• Cargo Capacity: 1,253 pounds
• Sleeping Capacity: Up to 8

Why I Chose It: Ample storage

If you need a large travel trailer with a bunkhouse, the Forest River Campsite Reserve 26CJ is one of the most spacious options on my list. It features rear corner double over double bunk beds, so there’s room for each to sleep two kids. Beside the bunks is the full bathroom, again conveniently located near the kids for nighttime emergencies.

In the center of this bunkhouse travel trailer is a large slide-out with a booth dinette and sofa. The kitchen has an L-shaped countertop, providing plenty of room for meal prep. The front bedroom has a king bed, and the exterior features an outside TV mount and a small kitchen.

What I love most is the ample storage throughout the unit. There’s a cabinet next to the bunk beds for the kids’ clothing. There’s more storage underneath the bottom bunk for extra toilet paper or toys. Behind the entertainment center are hidden shelves for pantry storage, and there’s a separate pantry closet to help stow away pans and kitchen gadgets. In the front bedroom, there’s overhead storage and a closet. The Forest River Campsite Reserve 26CJ is full of storage options.

• Length: 21’9”
• Dry Weight: 2,995 pounds
• Cargo Capacity: 2,498 pounds
• Sleeping Capacity: Up to 5

Why I Chose It: Basic, no frills

The Forest River Wolf Den 16EV resembles the Keystone Hideout Sport and Springdale Classic. It’s a little over a foot longer but even more basic, as it boasts electric appliances only – hence the ‘EV’ in the name. This model has no stovetop, and you won’t have a propane furnace for extended-season camping. It does have a sink, a small refrigerator, and a microwave air fryer. The bathroom also doesn’t have a sink but only a shower and toilet.

There are rear corner single over single bunk beds and a queen bed up front. I like how the Wolf Den 16EV is a step up from a tent camper but doesn’t break the bank by offering too many unnecessary amenities. If you like simple camping, this model is ideal. There’s room for a family of three or four to sleep comfortably. The dinette is a bit small, but if you enjoy the outdoors, you’ll likely eat at the picnic table.

The Forest River Wolf Den 16EV is one of the lightest travel trailers on this list, perfect for campers without heavy-duty trucks. You can safely tow this bunkhouse trailer with an SUV, minivan, light-duty truck, and possibly a sedan. It’s a budget-friendly trailer for a family wanting to go outdoors for a weekend camping trip.

• Length: 31’9”
• Dry Weight: 5,795 pounds
• Cargo Capacity: 1,930 pounds
• Sleeping Capacity: Up to 9

Why I Chose It: Separate bedroom

I love that this Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf has a front bedroom separated from the rest of the unit. This gives parents or grandparents privacy you don’t find in some of the smaller travel trailer bunkhouses. The second entry in the bedroom also allows adults to enjoy an evening outside after the kids have gone to bed without worrying about waking them once they re-enter the trailer.

There are also double over double bunks near the rear corner bathroom. The booth dinette and sofa allow plenty of lounge space for family games or movie nights. The outside kitchen also provides another space for meal prep and an easy way to enjoy the outdoors.

• Length: 31’8”
• Dry Weight: 6,116 pounds
• Cargo Capacity: 1,598 pounds

Why I Chose It: Upgrades for more comfort

The Forest River Alpha Wolf 26DBH-L is similar to the Cherokee Grey Wolf. It has double over double bunks, a U-shaped dinette, a sofa, a separate front bedroom, and an outdoor kitchen. What I love most about this unit are the extras that make this bunkhouse travel trailer feel more like a home on wheels.

An electric fireplace underneath the entertainment center provides added warmth on cool fall evenings. A porcelain toilet in the bathroom is more durable than the standard plastic one. Finally, the 20-foot awning offers ample shade to create more exterior living space. Plus, this travel trailer features a fiberglass exterior instead of the corrugated aluminum.

East to West Bunkhouse Travel Trailers

Forest River, Inc. owns East to West. It’s one of the newest brands to hit the RV industry. Lisa Liegl Rees founded it in 2017, and the company currently manufactures travel trailers, fifth wheels, and Class C motorhomes. It has a smaller lineup than other brands, with only six travel trailer lines, four fifth wheel lines, and two Class C lines.

• Length: 33’9”
• Dry Weight: 6,917 pounds
• Cargo Capacity: 
• Sleeping Capacity: Up to 10

Why I Chose It: Double entry, true living room

The Longitude is brand new in 2024. The 285BH features double over double bunks and a full bathroom in the rear. One major reason it makes the list of best bunkhouse travel trailers is the separate entrance to the bathroom. This provides easy access for kids to wash up after playing outside and a place to drop dirty shoes without dragging mud through the trailer.

I also love the layout of this travel trailer’s living room. The sofa and dinette are on opposing sides, with the entertainment center in the middle. This makes the space feel homey, ideal for a family who enjoys watching TV or movies on a Friday night.

This bunkhouse travel trailer also features a front bedroom separate from the rest of the unit, providing privacy for the adults. There’s also an additional wardrobe in the East to West Longitude 285BH that the other models on this list don’t have.

Heartland Bunkhouse Travel Trailers

Heartland has been in the RV industry for two decades. They manufacture models ranging from lightweight travel trailers to triple-axle toy haulers across 20 towable lines. The Landmark fifth wheel was its flagship trailer in 2004. You’ll find a wide range of price ranges to suit all types of budgets and various floorplans for all types of RVers.

• Length: 31’6”
• Dry Weight: 5,780 pounds
• Cargo Capacity: 1,804 pounds

Why I Chose It: Spacious interior

The Heartland Pioneer BH261 is similar to a few other models on this list. It features the double over double bunks and a bathroom in the rear corner. It also has a second entrance directly into the bathroom, which I love. This Heartland Pioneer trailer also has a separate front bedroom.

The booth dinette and sofa are side by side in a large slide-out, and the kitchen is against the opposing wall. One thing I love about this layout that’s different from the other travel trailers with bunkhouses is that the kitchen isn’t an L-shape. The countertop doesn’t stick out into the living space, creating a very open, spacious area. The kids can play on the floor without hitting their heads on the countertop, and the dogs can roam around with plenty of space.

• Length: 30’11”
• Dry Weight: 5,640 pounds
• Cargo Capacity: 1,954 pounds

Why I Chose It: Single entry, fiberglass exterior

This Heartland Mallard travel trailer is similar to the Pioneer bunkhouse. It also has double over double bunks next to the rear corner bathroom, a booth dinette and sofa in a large slide-out across from a full kitchen, and a separate front bedroom.

However, this unit doesn’t have a second entry in the bathroom. Some families will appreciate that because it’s not another door they have to lock and prevent younger children from escaping. The Mallard also features a fiberglass exterior, while the Pioneer is built with corrugated aluminum siding, giving this unit an upgraded feel.

Jayco Bunkhouse Travel Trailers

Jayco is one of the most respected and well-known brands in the RV industry. Lloyd Bontrager founded the company in 1968 and debuted his innovative lifter system for pop up campers. Today, with over 55 years of experience and over a million units sold, Jayco is one of the leaders in the industry. The brand produces every class of travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, and motorhomes.

• Length: 29’5”
• Dry Weight: 4,580 pounds
• Cargo Capacity: 1,420 pounds

Why I Chose It: Ample sleeping capacity

With the capability to sleep up to ten, the Jayco Jay Flight SLX 260BH is a lightweight bunkhouse travel trailer with the space a large family needs to enjoy a weekend camping trip. The double over double bunks measure a  spacious 48” by 76”, and the jackknife sofa provides an additional sleeping area. Plus, the booth dinette also converts if you need another place to sleep.

With no slides, the Jayco Jay Flight SLX 260BH may seem smaller than other units, but I love how Jayco designed this floorplan to create the most space possible. For example, there’s no sink in the bathroom. Instead, the kitchen sink is right outside the bathroom door. The countertop is small, but with the dinette table just across the room, parents can use it for an additional meal prep space if needed. And Jayco still provides a separate front bedroom for the adults.

• Length: 21’8”
• Dry Weight: 3,140 pounds
• Cargo Capacity: 1,010 pounds

Why I Chose It: Compact, lightweight design

Another Jayco Jay Flight SLX model with bunks is the 174BH. What I love most about this travel trailer is the size. For a camping family who owns an SUV or a smaller vehicle, the Jayco Jay Flight SLX 174BH checks all the boxes. With a dry weight of under 3,200 pounds and a length of under 22 feet, it’s light enough and short enough to be towed by smaller vehicles.

While you won’t have some amenities in other bunkhouse travel trailers, you’ll have everything you need for a comfortable, enjoyable weekend camping trip. The single bunks are 29” by 75” and are directly next to a bathroom with a shower and toilet. The only sink is in the kitchen, which includes an 8-cubic-foot refrigerator, a microwave, and a cooktop. 

There’s a booth dinette for mealtime and a queen bed for the adults. The overhead storage throughout the unit also provides ample room for kitchen gadgets, clothes, blankets, flashlights, and other camping gear.

Coleman Bunkhouse Travel Trailers

Coleman has been synonymous with camping and the outdoors for decades. Their lightweight bunkhouse travel trailers are some of the most affordable models on the market today, and the Keystone RV company actually manufactures them.

• Length: 22’10”
• Dry Weight: 3,587 pounds
• Sleeping Capacity: Up to 7

Why I Chose It: Maximum space, no slides

This lightweight, single-axle travel trailer with bunkhouse has two 48” by 72” bunks in the rear corner next to a full bathroom, which features a walk-in shower. This unit also has a bathroom and kitchen sink, even with its smaller length. The booth dinette converts into another sleeping area and sits directly across from the kitchen, ideal for preparing meals.

I love the Murphy bed layout of this bunkhouse travel trailer because it allows for more family space during the day. While the similarly-sized Jayco Jay Flight SLX 174BH has a dinette and a set bedroom, the Coleman Lantern LT 18BH has both a dinette and sofa. You can lounge with the kids on the couch, but when it’s time to go to bed, the space quickly becomes a sleeping area for the adults. This Coleman travel trailer with bunkhouse maximizes the interior space, even without slide-outs.

FAQs About Bunkhouse Travel Trailers

You may have a few more questions to help you find the right bunkhouse travel trailer for your family. Here are the most popular questions about this type of floorplan.

What is a bunkhouse floorplan in a travel trailer?

A travel trailer is a towable RV. Some people call it a “bumper pull” because it attaches to a hitch on the tow vehicle’s bumper. A travel trailer can have many of the same amenities as a fifth wheel or motorhome.

While some RVs have a separate room for the kids to sleep, a bunkhouse doesn’t have to be separated from the rest of the interior space. If bunk beds are in the floorplan, then it’s considered a travel trailer with a bunkhouse, whether those bunks are open to the living area or closed off with a separate door. Check out these additional travel trailer floorplans that offer ample space for a camping family.

What is the most popular travel trailer length?

Generally, a travel trailer with a bunkhouse will be longer than a travel trailer without bunks because it’s necessary to add length to incorporate this additional sleeping space. However, some manufacturers take away a feature to keep the length short. For example, a bunkhouse model may only have a dinette instead of a dinette and a sofa, so there’s room for the bunks in the same interior space.

Travel trailers can range from 12 feet to 40 feet long. They vary significantly in size and weight because there are many different floorplans. The average bunkhouse travel trailers are 20-30 feet long, but floorplans with a separate rear bunkhouse will be longer. It’s also important to know your local regulations regarding RV length so you follow the road restrictions in your home state.

What size is a double bunk in a travel trailer?

I mentioned that some of these best bunkhouse travel trailers feature double over double bunks. Usually, these bunks measure around 48” wide by 76” long. For older kids, these bunks may only sleep one. But for younger children, families can take advantage of these oversized bunks and sleep two per bed. I encourage you to learn more about RV mattresses , their sizes, how they differ from residential mattresses, and the different types we offer at Camping World.

Does Airstream make a bunkhouse?

Airstream is well-known as one of the top brands in the RV industry. The company has been making trailers since the 1930s. However, Airstream only manufactures one floorplan with a bunk bed option: the Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk . This 31-footer sleeps up to eight or nine people, depending on if you have the single over double bunk or the double over double bunk option.

Bunkhouse travel trailers are excellent units for camping families. Whether you’re a grandparent who takes out your grandchildren occasionally, a full-time traveling family who needs personal space for everyone, or a single parent who wants to make memories with your child on weekend getaways, there’s a floorplan to suit your camping style and needs.

This article claims the Springdale Classic has a 7.7 cu refrigerator and a 14 ft awning. In all the searching on Camping World inventory I have yet to find a unit with this. I only see 3.3 frig and 10 ft awning.

Hi Michael!

My apologies, as I just reached out to Keystone and they confirmed that 3.3-cubic feet is the standard fridge size for the 2024 model year, down from the 7.7 cubic foot standard in the 2023 model year. They also confirmed that the 10-foot awning is now standard on new models. Thanks for bringing this to our attention so we could update these specs in the article!

If you’ve been shopping for a new travel trailer with bunkhouse features, you’re in the right place. We’ve compiled a list of some of the best bunkhouse travel trailers available so you and your family can hit the road in style.

But what exactly is a bunkhouse travel trailer, and what should you consider when shopping for a new one? Let’s learn more about this unique style of travel trailer so you can get your questions answered.

Already know you want a bunkhouse travel trailer?

Check out the table of contents below to jump ahead and see all of our favorites: 

What Is A Bunkhouse Travel Trailer?

A bunkhouse travel trailer essentially means you are purchasing a style of trailer with bunk beds inside. Bunkhouse travel trailers also imply secondary living space, where bunk beds and couches create a unique second living space inside the RV. 

Bunkhouse travel trailers are often larger than traditional travel trailers, given the need for extra sleeping space. These types of RVs are perfect for large families or groups of people, especially those with younger children comfortable with bunk bed sleeping arrangements. 

However, you may be interested in a bunkhouse travel trailer whether or not you have kids. They often have unique layouts and ample living space you wouldn’t normally get in a standard travel trailer layout. Some bunkhouse travel trailers even have two bathrooms, which I find a game-changer when multiple people are camping on board!

What To Consider In A Bunkhouse Travel Trailer?

Wondering what you should consider in a bunkhouse travel trailer? Here are some expert tips and pointers to keep in mind while you shop for your new RV. 

Sleeping Arrangements

The most important consideration for your new bunkhouse travel trailer is knowing how many people can sleep in it, and how many people on average you expect to travel with.  Bunkhouse travel trailers truly maximize sleeping arrangements, and some RVs can even have bunk beds that are three beds tall!

You’re most likely interested in this style of travel trailer because of its high sleep capacity.  However, when an RV tells you how many people can sleep inside, this doesn’t mean everyone is sleeping comfortably. If you plan on traveling with more adults than kids, you should make sure the sleeping arrangements suit everyone accordingly. 

Number Of Bathrooms 

Traveling with a large group of people may mean you need multiple bathrooms in your bunkhouse travel trailer. Thankfully, this is a common request and most RV manufacturers have already planned for this when designing the layout of bunkhouse rigs. One bathroom is standard in just about any travel trailer unless you are shopping around for a smaller model with only a wet bath or no bathroom at all.

However, many large travel trailers or fifth wheels offer multiple bathroom situations.  You may not get a full secondary bath, but a half-bath onboard is possible, which typically includes a sink and an additional toilet. Sometimes, this is all you need when camping with a group of people or family members. 

Style And Overall Aesthetics 

Bunkhouses are fun for the whole family, especially when you consider both the interior and exterior style and look of the trailer. While most RVs have a special sort of ugly style to them , you may find a bunkhouse that makes you feel cool. 

Many travel trailers have multiple interior design options, and you can further customize your look and feel with your own personal touches. There’s nothing better than an RV living area that feels lived-in rather than brand new and sterile. 

Bunkhouse Layout

The layout of your travel trailer is key no matter what style of rig you’re looking at, but this is especially the case with bunkhouse travel trailers. After all, the layout will be greatly affected by large bunkhouse living areas. Many travel trailers situate the bunk room toward the back of the travel trailer to allow further privacy and separation from other parts of the rig.

This can be especially valuable if you plan on traveling with a large group of children, as they can have their own space.  However, no two travel trailers are the same, and you should make sure the layout works best for you and your family as well as any additional guests. Privacy is key for a bunkhouse travel trailer, but it’s wise to pay attention to the other living areas as well. 

Total Length 

Bunkhouse travel trailers can get pretty large, which is why you should pay attention to the overall length of your new rig. While the extra square footage may be necessary to allow everyone to come along on vacation, you may be surprised to hear that the length of your rig matters.

Many national and state parks have RV length rules or limits in place depending on the location and style of the park. This could be a wake-up call for those of you with rigs over 35 feet long- and most bunkhouse rigs are this large.  However, these rules are different from park to park, and your bunkhouse travel trailer may do just fine on your travels. I find it’s always a good idea to call ahead before making reservations at campgrounds.  

Weight 

As previously mentioned, most bunkhouse travel trailers are mighty big. This means it’s vital to pay close attention to various travel trailer weights and the overall weight limit of your tow vehicle for optimum safety. Y ou should never shop for a brand-new rig without first knowing what tow vehicle you plan on using and how much weight it can carry. 

Since travel trailers are lighter than ever these days, you may be surprised how heavy some of these rigs actually are. Your tow vehicle may be able to handle the RV model you’re looking at, no problem. If not, it’s best to upgrade your tow vehicle or look at more compact, lightweight travel trailer options.

Budget 

Finally, the last thing you should consider when shopping for a new travel trailer, bunkhouse or otherwise, is your budget. Travel trailers can vary widely in their cost, depending on amenities and the overall luxury of the rig.

You can easily create a budget and anticipate spending, but be sure to take a look at any non-standard features or options you can install on your new travel trailer. Many optional features are considered necessary by RVers, such as auto leveling and solar panels, but they will increase the overall expense substantially.

Benefits Of A Bunkhouse Travel Trailer

Curious to learn more about bunkhouse travel trailers? Here is a list of some potential benefits opting for a bunkhouse travel trailer can bring. Remember, it may be worth considering purchasing a good-quality used RV if you’re on a tight budget. My rig was an absolute steal secondhand, and I don’t regret a single thing about not buying a brand-new rig!

Many Different Layouts

After years of looking at different RV layouts and setups, bunkhouse travel trailers have some of the most unique ones I’ve ever seen. This is likely due to the creativity involved when adding an additional sleeping area. 

You can expect a lot of unique features while shopping for bunkhouse travel trailers, and it may make these rigs appealing to you if you hadn’t considered this style of travel trailer before. It’s definitely worth looking at these travel trailers for this reason alone! 

Room For The Whole Family

One of the main reasons many people choose a bunkhouse travel trailer is because they have room for the whole family, or perhaps room for an entire group of friends. These travel trailers maximize sleeping arrangements so you can bring as many people along as possible.

Again, this may not be ideal for a group of adults, especially those not expecting to share a room. However, that’s partially what camping is about, and bunkhouse travel trailers still ensure everyone is comfortable, even if they are sharing a bunk bed. 

Space Saving Bunks 

Speaking of sleeping arrangements, bunkhouses are designed with space-saving bunk beds so you can maximize both the guest sleeping arrangements and the overall storage space. Even if you don’t plan on feeling every single bunk bed onboard your new travel trailer, you still have ample bunks to use for storage or other purposes. You won’t have to worry about leaving anything at home if you buy one of these rigs! 

Ample Storage For Cargo

Whether you plan on using the bunk beds for storage or require storage elsewhere, bunkhouse travel trailers give you tons of storage, both inside and out. This can be incredibly beneficial, especially when traveling with large groups of people who will each have their own belongings.

While a bunkhouse-style travel trailer may not be a first choice if you plan on living full-time in your rig , you may find this layout works well for you in terms of having enough room for clothes, personal effects, food storage, and more. 

Extra RV Amenities

Even the most basic of bunkhouse travel trailers have a decent amount of RV amenities that you may not initially expect. If you’re able to purchase a more luxury travel trailer, then expect even more amenities than a simpler, budget-friendly model. 

For example, you can expect plush mattresses, additional entertainment centers, at least a 50 amp RV service, and much more with just about any bunkhouse trailer purchase. The main living area may have theater seating, and your dining area may also be upgraded to accommodate additional people. 

The list doesn’t stop there, but it will depend on the individual travel trailer you’re looking at for what sort of amenities you’ll receive. If you have something specific in mind, the RV manufacturer will no doubt tell you whether or not it’s possible. 

Privacy From The Kids

Many RVers purchase bunkhouse travel trailers so they have ample space for the kids to hang out in. This gives adults privacy, and also some separation from their children while everyone is hanging out inside the rig.

While you can always just send the kids outside, this isn’t always an option, especially when camping in inclement weather. A bunkhouse travel trailer can make camping trips all the more restful and peaceful with a dedicated space for the kids!

Forest River makes some fantastic rigs, and the Heritage Glen is no exception. Available in both a hyper-lyte and classic trailer model with various floorplans, it’s easy to find a Heritage Glen to suit every RVer out there! Five of the multiple floorplans feature innovative bunkhouse arrangements, which is not only impressive but rarely found in the travel trailer world! 

No one has to feel left out, as Forest River has made it effortless for the whole family to jump on board. The Heritage Glen is c hock full of features, some of which include high-quality herringbone-style vinyl flooring, hardwood cabinetry, and an actual porcelain toilet. Yes, I’m honestly not kidding! This is a trailer with a perfect blend of functionality and luxury, which is what I want, living full-time on the road.

This travel trailer is built with opulence in mind from start to finish. The bunkhouse models on this rig have double-bed stackable bunks, providing sleeping areas for several people – some models have two sets of bunk beds!  This particular rig is built wider to accommodate the extra bunks, as well as also being equipped with extra large pass-through storage compartments. This may make the Wildwood Heritage Glen a little trickier to drive , but any nerves will be obliterated after a few drives! 

Not only is this travel trailer built with gorgeous finishing touches and convenient features, but it’s also bursting with luxury on the interior too. The electric fireplace is a promise for cozy winter evenings, and the unique peninsula kitchen is bursting with countertop space and panoramic windows so I can admire the finest views of nature. There’s also a family-sized dinette to enjoy, along with convertible furniture, a half bath, and an outdoor dog hitching station complete with safety mechanisms to keep fluffy friends safe too. 

Best For Large Families: Jayco Eagle

Towable by most half-ton trucks and SUVs, the Jayco Eagle has two awesome bunkhouse-style floorplans, which bring the sleeping capabilities of this trailer to an incredible 10 people! Jayco is a popular name in the RV world, which is no surprise as their rigs boast top-quality construction and customer support.

Jayco’s warranties help calm any nerves for new RVers, and purchasing quality-made rigs results in happy campers. The Jayco Eagle is ideal for large families who need ample space both for sleeping and using a trailer in the best way possible. With bunkhouse options, everyone can sleep easily, and since the Eagle varies in length from 34′ 10″ to 38′ 9″, there’s ample space to keep things airy inside. 

The overall length of each Eagle floorplan is pretty long, especially for first-time towing, but some might say it’s best to jump in the deep end! I would definitely advise taking some practice tows first, though, as it’s always better to be safe rather than sorry! For those with a tow car able to handle the Eagle, t he interior design is truly where Jayco shines.

They offer all-wood cabinetry, specialty laminate flooring, several windows to flood the space with natural light, and quality convertible furniture for sleeping multiple people. Jayco constructs their rigs on a lightweight but sturdy aluminum frame which helps keep things lightweight. The fiberglass molded walls and roof are also lightweight, meaning less stress and strain on the tow vehicle.

The bunkhouse floor plans have exterior kitchens so I can enjoy the great outdoors for the entirety of my camping trip. While there’s ample living space inside the travel trailer, I like knowing I don’t have to solely spend all of my time inside! The perks found in this travel trailer are too many to list, from a second ducted AC to a power and auto leveling jack system to bring ultimate convenience to every campground trip!  

Lightest Weight: Coachmen Apex Ultra-Lite 

It’s possible to find a bunkhouse travel trailer that doesn’t weigh too much, and the Coachmen Apex Ultra-Lite is well worth a close look. This particular model of travel trailer is fantastic for several reasons, not just its lightweight nature and 13 floorplans! Each floorplan ranges in length from 25′ 6″ to 34′ 5″ making the Apex Ultra-Lite a great fit for a wide range of avid campers!

Out of all of the floorplans, seven have bunk bed options, allowing families to take vacations in style and comfort, all inside a lightweight rig! The largest bunkhouse floor plan weighs less than 6,000 pounds so even modest cars and SUVs should be able to tow this Coachmen rig .  While the interior design seems a little beige, all of the cabinetry and countertops are made from quality materials, and it only takes the addition of some decorative belongings to spruce things up a bit!

You can bet these fixtures will last the lifetime of the rig, even if they may need a bit of help in bringing some color and personality. Coachmen is a division of Forest River, which means the construction of each bunkhouse travel trailer will be solid. All of the walls are made from well-insulated Azdel and bonded fiberglass so no matter the season, the Apex Ultra-Lite can tackle it!

This rig also comes complete with double or full-sized bunk beds making it possible to sleep a large group of people on board. Some of the floor plans also have exclusive master suites with walk-around queen beds which is a piece of luxury I miss from living in a traditional home! There are solar panels and solar prep as standard, though I think some of the non-standard features are worth a look too.

Some of these options include dark and frameless tinted windows, additional amps, a second AC unit, and theater seating.  Coachmen will also back your purchase with a fantastic warranty and owner’s club. If you are worried about being able to tow a bunkhouse travel trailer, you don’t have to worry anymore with this lightweight model!

Travel Trailer With Multiple Bunk Beds: Dutchmen Astoria

Speaking of multiple bunk beds, the Dutchman Astoria is another fantastic model for catering to various sleeping needs from small families to large groups of friends. This Dutchmen can sleep a maximum of 11 people, depending on the floorplan of course! There are 15 floorplans in total, measuring in length from 29′ 11″ to 42′ 5″, meaning I can choose a size best suited to my towing ability and storage situation!

The Astoria offers four different bunkhouse models, and all of them offer a multiple bunkbed scenario. Creating sleeping areas for the kids or friends coming along for a weekend adventure means quality time spent together for everyone.  Safety is always the number one priority for me, and so I love that Dutchmen have loaded their rigs with safety features.

Quality steel frames, a power tongue jack, and heavy-duty tires all work together to create a rugged camper that’s reliable, secure, and durable. The interior of the Dutchmen Astoria is lovely, with many homey features, including an electric fireplace and pantry storage in the kitchen . Personally, I find stainless steel appliances have an unbeatable classic look, so the kitchen in this rig is perfect for my tastes. Paired with the quality backsplash the kitchen is easy to clean and a joy to spend time in.

This rig doesn’t just look good, but it functions well too, partly thanks to the standard 50 amp service of the Astoria. Having enough power on board is essential for appliances such as microwaves or AC units, and 50 amps is a solid amount to start off with. I like the contemporary feel of this rig, with the intricate arched ceiling and overall modern design. The kitchen is clean and white, but I think adding a little color would really help bring the inside to life even more!

The larger models of the Dutchmen Astoria may be too big for some to handle, but the smaller models are well worth considering, and with several bunkhouse options available, there’s a good shot this rig could be the right fit for you! Dutchmen also offer many different warranty options as well as a comprehensive customer service line, so I can have all of my questions answered with ease.

Best For The Pets: Coachmen Northern Spirit

The Coachmen Northern Spirit is a fantastic rig for the entire family, including furry friends. They have many classy and exclusive features available onboard this rig, especially in the bunkhouse models. I’d be lost if I couldn’t bring my pup along for RVing antics, so the Northern Spirit is an ideal rig for me and my partner! With six different bunkhouse options to choose from, the Northern Spirit has an array of layouts for all kinds of RVing groups.

Not only do some models have bathtubs and double bunks, but there are dedicated pet features so furry friends can be just as comfortable too! Some of these features include built-in food dishes, an outdoor hitching post for a dog leash, and an outdoor shower complete with a doggy bath area. The exterior of this rig continues to impress, with powered awnings and exterior LED lighting. As for the interior, the Northern Spirit is a good-looking rig on the inside and outside!

Floorplan dependant, this bunkhouse trailer has a spacious kitchen, a bar-style breakfast nook, and even theater seating for ultimate comfort. The interior also features multiple bunk beds along with a master bedroom so my partner and I can have some privacy.  I’m impressed by the volume of standard features, such as a detachable power cord, a solar panel with room to spare, and exterior speakers so I can bring the party outside during the summer.

The 50 amp electrical service and secondary AC unit in the master suite mean comfort even during the summer. No matter how hot it gets outside, I like that I can keep the entire travel trailer cool using this simple add-on. Like the other Coachmen model on this list, the interior design may be a little bland for some tastes, but nothing I don’t think some throws and cushions couldn’t sort out! 

Best For Entertaining: Palomino Puma

Palomino claims to offer the most bunkhouse travel trailer options in the industry, and I’m starting to see why. The Palomino Puma has 31 different floorplans across both the travel trailer and fifth wheel models, with an astonishing 14 layouts featuring bunk beds! The Puma is a beauty inside and out, offering ample pass thru storage, sturdy fiberglass exterior walls, and power awnings with LED lighting.

I appreciate the safety step as I can sometimes be a bit clumsy, but together with the outdoor lighting, safety in the dark is greatly improved. The exterior speakers are perfect for entertaining guests of all ages, and the bunkhouse interior on select floorplans is what makes this rig fit for big families. With so many floorplans, it’s possible to find a bunkhouse option with two master suites, making it a perfect fit for kiddos, parents, and even grandparents!

The Puma is ideal for entertaining given the open layout allowing for easy transition through different areas of the rig. There are layouts featuring kitchens with islands and large countertops, or living rooms equipped with theater seating and electric fireplaces, ideal for cozy winter nights.  This rig is built for adventure as well as connection, as it’s prewired for solar and WiFi. It has interior Bluetooth speakers and an entertainment center so everyone can keep happy and uplifted while traveling the open road.

Once the destination is reached, the power jack and built-in stabilizers help make the setup quick and easy, which is what I need after a long afternoon of driving! I’m also grateful for the ample storage throughout the Palomino Puma, as it means dirty gear can be stored away securely outside, limiting dirt and mess inside the trailer.

This trailer offers many floorplans across a wide variety of travel trailer lengths that makes it feel like there’s a layout for everybody. The roomy interior is finished in an open-plan way that’s perfect for entertaining, even if the party makes its way outside!

Best Indoor/Outdoor Bunkhouse: Keystone Outback Ultra Lite

Speaking of indoor/outdoor partying, the Keystone Outback Ultra Lite is a trailer with bunkhouse options to fit any RVer. This bunkhouse model has a lot to offer, and not only because it’s all housed on a super sturdy and lightweight aluminum frame.  With 9 floorplans and a few of them serving as bunkhouses, there’s a lot to get excited about with this semi-luxurious travel trailer. Keystone makes quality rigs too, with four-season capable options which is exactly what I need, traveling year-round in my rig. 

The largest model available under the Outback Ultra Lite name includes an outdoor kitchen , a rear bunkhouse, and a large electric fireplace, creating a welcoming interior. The master bedroom features a walk-around bed and a built-in pet kennel underneath with ample storage so our pup can have a dedicated place to sleep and relax.

The living areas on this particular travel trailer are spacious and accommodating, with open kitchens and dining nooks. The u-shaped dinettes can seat the whole family on some models, which is great considering some of these floor plans can sleep up to 10 people! I love it when the whole family can get together for an RVing adventure, but often it can be tricky to sleep everyone, but not in this Keystone rig!

One of the biggest perks of this travel trailer for me is the abundance of outdoor kitchen accessories available. I’m able to utilize a stove, sink, and mini fridge outside the RV, while an entire residential kitchen awaits me indoors should the weather turn bad quickly! Keystone offers multiple comprehensive warranties for their rigs, and I’m instantly reassured by the high-quality construction of each Keystone travel trailer. 

The Outback Ultra Lite is also fit with 4G LTW and Wi-Fi prep for staying connected even in the heart of nature. There’s also ducted heating and cooling which helps to make this rig four-season capable and promises successful all-season adventuring.  There’s a lot on offer with this trailer, especially for those who enjoy both being warm and secure inside an RV, but also heading out into the wilderness at any opportunity!

Best Budget-Friendly: Winnebago Micro Minnie

Out of the 11 floorplans available with the Winnebago Micro Minnie , 4 of them are bunkhouse layouts, creating room to sleep up to 5 people. This isn’t as many as the Palomino Puma, so large families may have to opt for a bigger rig. However, small families or groups of travelers will fit perfectly in this attractive trailer from one of the best budget-friendly RV brands out there!

Winnebago has been in the RV game for some time, and this is reflected throughout all of their rigs, including the Micro Minnie. The smallest floorplan has an overall length of 19′ 5″, while the biggest model measures a substantial 25′ 5″. As the name suggests, the Minnie isn’t the biggest travel trailer out there, but for the price, it boasts an array of great features.

An open galley kitchen equipped with a 3-burner cooktop, convection microwave, and large fridge bring functionality to the trailer and an overall clean kitchen aesthetic. There’s an optional upgrade of European-style cabinetry, but if you don’t mind a more standard finish, keeping away from optional extras will help reduce the final cost.

The large windows throughout this Winnebago allow fresh air to dance throughout the trailer, and help keep things smelling good. I like that the interior isn’t full of storage at every single possibility, and this is thanks to both the interior and exterior storage solutions to keep everything stowed away neatly and securely.

I love spending time outdoors, and although there aren’t too many exterior features with the Micro Minnie, the JBL Premium exterior speakers and powered patio awning with integrated LED lighting help bring personality and fun to the outside of the rig as well. The 200W of solar power on the roof is fantastic for boondocking, but personally, I would like a bit more power so I can run everything in my rig without the use of a noisy generator!

Most Luxurious: Grand Design RV Imagine

Not every floorplan of the Grand Design RV Imagine is a bunkhouse one, but a couple are, and since Grand Design are renowned for producing luxurious rigs, I couldn’t leave the Imagine off our list! Typical of Grand Design RV, the Imagine is constructed with the highest quality possible, with the sidewalls, rear wall, slide-room walls, and slide-room roof all packed with rigid foam insulation.

Not only does this result in a sturdy trailer, but this also means better temperature regulation throughout the year. It’s also possible to walk on the roof which is a game-changer for completing maintenance tasks like covering the RV for summer to prevent sun damage. The enclosed underbelly and double insulated floor also help to regulate the temperature and will help keep the rig in better condition for longer too.

Even the roof is as strong as anything and is backed by an 18-year warranty. I don’t think I’ve seen a warranty this impressive from any other RV! There’s more to the Imagine than just an impressive exterior, however, and the inside of this rig is the dream blend of luxury and practicality. Some of the internal features across select floorplans include double bunk sleeping, a booth dinette, a queen bed, a spacious bathroom with a skylight above the shower, theater seating, and an awning.

It seems Grand Design has thought about pretty much everything with the Imagine, and each layout can be tailored to suit such a diverse range of RVers. This luxury does come at a bit of a higher price than other trailers on our list such as the previously mentioned Winnebago, but the Imagine is a stunning rig, promising adventures far and wide for many years to come.

Best With Slide Outs: Cruiser RV Embrace

Cruiser RV isn’t a name I hear mentioned too often, even though they’ve been in the RV game since 1988! The Cruiser RV Embrace is a travel trailer with 6 different floorplans, with 4 innovative bunkhouse options, ideal for families. The Embrace utilizes slide-outs to enhance the interior space, and this is one of the reasons the interior feels so airy and spacious.

There are many pros and cons to owning a rig with slide-outs as they are another component that will need maintaining, however, they bring extra room and can save the day when last-minute guests want to jump on board for vacation! Starting at just 5,904 lbs and 30′ 8″ in length, the Cruiser Embrace is by no means a small trailer! Measuring in at over 30′ might be too long for some RVers, especially those new to towing.

However, I find practice makes perfect, and my confidence increased substantially after the first few trips I took towing my travel trailer, so don’t lose hope! A couple of layouts are able to sleep upwards of 10 people without a drop of hassle, and this is due to the addition of creative bunk sleeping areas. Along with comfortable beds, there’s also comfortable seating throughout, a dinette, a spacious kitchen, and more to make camping on the road as convenient and fun as possible.

Slide-outs might not be to everyone’s tastes, but in the Embrace, they are fundamental to each and every layout option. The aluminum roof, power awning, underbelly storage, and solar prep, all help make the exterior as impressive as the interior. Upgrading to a 50 amp service is possible with some models, and something I would look into as having more power on board means less stress through cold, dark winters.

Overall, the Cruiser RV Embrace is a solid trailer, equipped with slide-outs, helping create a spacious camper where everyone can feel at home and families can make long-lasting memories. The only downside with this rig for me, is that the holding tanks are only 30 gallons, which is a little on the small side, especially for full-time living and boondocking. However, if this isn’t a dealbreaker, the Embrace is worth considering for a bunkhouse trailer with elegance, slide-outs, and an array of impressive features.

Best Bunkhouse Travel Trailers Under 25 Feet

If you are looking for a small RV that is affordable and easy to tow, consider a bunkhouse travel trailer under 25 feet. These RVs may be small, but they have plenty of sleeping space for the whole family.

Winnebago Micro Minnie 1800BH

Length: 21 feet, 11 inches

The Micro Minnie 1800BH is the smallest bunkhouse travel trailer on our list. At just under 22 feet long and 7 feet wide, this trailer is tiny, but has everything you need for a family camping trip. The single bunk beds are located on the driver side rear corner of the RV.

The dinette can also be converted into another bed. A double bed is located in the front of the RV trailer. While many small travel trailer bunkhouses have a flip-up bed, this bed is permanent, so it does not require any effort to set-up.

This mini trailer is also a fully self-contained vehicle. It has a 3-piece bathroom with a porcelain toilet beside the bunks. The galley kitchen has a fridge, a 3-burner cooktop and a convection microwave.

Heartland Pioneer BH170

Length: 22 feet, 5 & 3/4 inches

Other great features for families with young children include a chalkboard front refrigerator for kids to doodle on and a carpet free floorplan for easy cleaning.

Keystone Springdale 2010BH

Length: 22 feet, 9 inches

The Springdale 2010BH has a very similar layout to the Heartland Pioneer with double bunks in the rear corner of the RV. While most RV interiors have white or wood cabinets, the Springdale’s sleek interior features black cabinets with gold hardware.

Additional sleeping spaces include a convertible dinette booth and a fixed queen bed at the front of the trailer. At 8 feet wide, the trailer also has room for a closet, nightstand and outlets beside the bed.

A 3-piece bathroom is located beside the bunks, and the kitchen includes a 2-burner cooktop, a fridge and a microwave. A pantry beside the kitchen provides extra food and appliance storage.

Palomino Revolve EV5

Length: 24 feet, 1 inch

The last of our picks for the best travel trailer bunkhouses under 25 feet is a truly revolutionary RV!

Palomino Revolve travel trailers are 100% powered by solar. With four 100W solar panels and four lithium batteries, owners never have to worry about running out of power. The batteries can also be charged at shore hookups or with the included tow vehicle power adaptor.

The EV5 floorplan also has plenty of sleeping space for the whole family with rear double bunk beds, a convertible dinette and a queen-sized Murphy bed.

Next to the bunks is a 3-piece bathroom. The kitchen includes a 12 volt refrigerator, a 2-burner cooktop, a microwave, a pantry and an oversized sink.

Best Bunkhouse Travel Trailers Under 35 Feet

If your budget (or family) is a little larger, these bunkhouse travel trailers between 25 and 35 feet are the best bet. These medium-sized trailers have plenty of space and privacy without breaking the bank.

Ember Overland Series 221MSL

Length: 26 feet, 1 inch

If your family loves off-road adventures, Ember’s Overland Series travel trailers are amazing campers. These trailers include a heavy-duty chassis, an independent suspension with heavy-duty coil springs and dual shock absorbers and off-road tires.

The 221MSL floorplan is the largest Ember Overland floorplan and can sleep up to six people. The rear bunk area includes an Embertrack system with adjustable, removable bunks. When the bunks are raised or removed, a rear storage door allows the bunk area to be used for kayak or bike storage

In addition to the bunks, there is a jackknife sofa and queen Murphy bed. The trailer has a full bathroom and a kitchen with a 2-burner cooktop and a 12 volt refrigerator. This RV is also ready for off-grid camping with solar panels and an inverter.

Coachman Apex Ultra-Lite 245BHS

Length: 27 feet, 7 inches

The Coachman Apex Ultra-Lite 245BHS is a great midsize bunkhouse travel trailer. At 7.5 feet wide and just 6,500 pounds, this travel trailer is easy to tow, but has plenty of space.

The double bunks are located in the rear corner of the trailer. Unlike smaller bunkhouses, the Apex has a private main bedroom, separated from the living area by an entertainment center and two curtains.

A U-shaped dinette provides plenty of seating space, and the kitchen comes with a range with a 3-burner cooktop and an oven. The full bathroom has a shower/tub combo to make bathing kids and dogs easier.

Grand Design Imagine 2800BH

Length: 32 feet, 0 inches

Another awesome midsize travel trailer with bunk beds is the Grand Design Imagine 2800BH. The double bunks are located in the rear corner of the RV next to the full bathroom.

The main bedroom in the front of the trailer has a queen bed and a sliding door for complete privacy. There is plenty of seating in the spacious living area, which includes a U-shaped dinette and a tri-fold sofa.

The kitchen incudes a range, a microwave, a refrigerator and tons of storage space. Additional storage can be found under the bed. The oversized under bed storage includes a sliding storage tray to provide easy access to regularly used items.

Keystone Cougar Half-Ton 30BHS

Length: 34 feet, 5 inches

We toured hundreds of RVs at this year’s Florida RV SuperShow , and the Keystone Cougar Half-Ton 30BHS was by far my favorite bunkhouse floorplan. The unique layout includes rear bunks that extend the width of the RV.

The position of the bunks creates a separate area for kids and makes the beds more accessible. In the front of the RV is a large, private bedroom with a king bed. The bathroom sits between the living area and the bedroom.

The main living area includes an L-shaped dinette, a tri-fold sofa and a fireplace. The kitchen has a full range, a microwave, a double sink, a 12 volt fridge and plenty of counterspace. Arched rafters create a spacious interior with 7 foot ceilings.

Heartland Trail Runner 31DB

Length: 36 feet, 11 inches

The second Heartland RV on our list of the best bunkhouse travel trailers is the Trail Runner 31DB. This big rig has much more space and many more exciting features than the tiny Pioneer.

The rear of the RV houses an entire kids’ suite. Inside the suite is a private bedroom with a single over double bunk bed, a shirt closet and a half bathroom. In the front of the trailer is a main bedroom with a queen bed and a full bathroom.

In the main living area, there is a dinette booth and a large sofa. The corner kitchen features bright, white cabinets and stainless steel appliances. Perhaps the most unique feature of this RV is the huge pantry, located behind the TV next to the entry door.

Venture SportTrek ST333VIK

Length: 37 feet, 8 inches

Another amazing (and enormous) rear bunkhouse travel trailer is the Venture SportTrek ST333VIK. The bunkroom includes a normal height single bed, and a raised top bunk which sits over a storage cabinet.

The lower bed is perfect both for smaller children who are at risk of falling from higher bunks and teenagers who need more headroom. The huge bunkroom is also great for teenagers because it also has a sofa (with another flip-up bunk above it), a table and a flip-up desk.

Outside the bunkroom is a full (second) bathroom. The other bathroom is located in the front of the trailer next to the main bedroom with a queen bed.

While the bunkroom is the star of this RV, the main living area does not disappoint either. With the optional king dinette, the combination sofa/dining area can comfortably seat 5 to 6 people. The large kitchen has an island and a hutch that makes a perfect coffee station.

Keystone Hideout 38FKTS

Length: 39 feet, 11 inches

Mid-bunk floorplans are super common in fifth wheel RVs, but rare in travel trailers. The Hideout 28FKTS is the best mid-bunk travel trailer available.

The bunkroom includes a upper bunk with a cube bunk below. The cubes can be moved around and used as chairs during the day. A wardrobe, which doubles as a desk completes the room.

The main bedroom has a queen bed and is located in the rear of the trailer. The full bath sits between the two bedrooms. In the main living area, there is a dinette booth, a recliner and a trifold sofa. The front kitchen has white cabinets and tons of storage space.

Three years ago, my family sold most of our belongings, bought a bunkhouse travel trailer, moved into it, and hit the road full-time. My husband and I chose a Keystone Cougar 29BHS for our family of five, and after three years and thousands of miles, we are still very happy with it.

As we read and researched our options, we came to expect that our first RV would be like a “starter RV” so we could learn from experience what we liked and didn’t like before choosing one that better fit our needs. This seemed to be the common experience of so many families.

My Top Picks

In case you don’t want to read all the way to the end of the article, we put our top bunkhouse travel trailer picks here:

Coachmen Freedom Express 320BHDS Camper

Heartland north trail 31qbs camper, keystone cougar 29bhs, keystone cougar 34tsb, living in our “starter rv” for three years.

Why do we still love our bunkhouse after three years? We did so much research before buying the best travel trailer —and specifically the best bunk house travel trailer — that we were pretty sure we had covered all the bases and knew what would best suit the needs of our family.

For the most part, we were right. We have customized it in minor ways along the way, but that research before we launched made all the difference. Switching rigs frequently is a hassle, and it wasn’t financially feasible for us, but a little extra homework can help avoid all of that.

Perhaps that’s what led you to this article. Whether you’re shopping for bunkhouse trailers to live in full-time or you just want the right lightweight travel trailers to take some amazing family vacations, I want to help you to be as happy with your purchase as we are with ours.

And because I remember how confusing it gets to have 30 different tabs open on your browser while researching this, I’ve tried to assemble the most useful information all in one place.

From defining travel trailer and bunkhouse camper to exploring the factors you’ll need to consider, with the advantages and disadvantages of different choices, I hope to help you narrow down the needs and priorities of your family.

Finally, I’ve recommended ten different bunkhouse travel trailer models, all with personal travel trailer recommendations from myself and other full-time families we’ve met in our travels, including floor plans for easy comparison (bunkhouse floorplan).

What is a Travel Trailer?

A travel trailer sometimes called a bumper pull or bumper tow is a towable RV that connects to the bumper hitch of a vehicle and is moved that way. They are not motorhomes, and they do not need to be towed with a special hitch in the bed of a pickup truck, like a fifth wheel trailer. They come in a wide variety of sizes and models.

What is Bunkhouse?

A bunkhouse, or bunk room, in an RV, is a sleeping space with bunk beds that is separate from the master bedroom and main living area. Typically, the dedicated sleeping space has a door that can be closed for privacy, making the bunkhouse its own room.

Advantages of Bunkhouse Travel Trailers for Families

Since the bunkhouse travel trailers offer extra sleeping space for children, they are perfect for families (just like a house with bunk bed setups). Once children are in bunk beds, parents can close the door and use the rest of the trailer without disturbing their little ones.

Children usually enjoy having their own bunk bed space and the option to close the door for privacy. Most families can easily imagine circumstances when it is advantageous to have separate rooms. Overall, a trailer with a bunkhouse feels more spacious and more like home.

Bunkhouse travel trailers also tend to be lighter and can be towed with a variety of vehicles. While a fifth wheel trailer can only be towed by a pickup truck, a travel trailer can also be towed by larger SUVs, which can be very helpful for large families, families with young children in car seats, or those who occasionally travel with guests.

Disadvantages of Bunkhouse Travel Trailers for Families

Many families find that a travel trailer feels too small for their needs. They prefer the higher ceilings and increased storage space of a fifth-wheel trailer (including overhead cabinets for storage space). Travel trailer often has less space and weight margins for cargo. Ultralight models are built with weight-saving construction that can be less durable, and it can be hard for children to remember to use the space gently.

A Bunkhouse RV / travel trailer rarely come equipped with conveniences such as washing machines and dishwashers that can come in handy when traveling with children. Finally, freshwater tanks and both black and grey water waste tanks are smaller, and many families find them limiting if they do not always park with full hookups.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Bunkhouse Travel Trailers

New or used bunkhouse travel trailer models.

In order to find the best bunkhouse travel trailers, you can also consider a used bunkhouse travel trailer brand will save budget-conscious families a lot of money on the purchase price. If purchased from a dealership, they will often come with some kind of limited warranty, but buying them privately is a greater risk.

A disadvantage of buying used is that the rig will likely have some degree of wear and tear from normal use. A bunkhouse model has most likely been used by a family with kids, which often means it has endured a little more use (or abuse) than a trailer that has only been used by adults. Check any used model thoroughly before purchasing.

Cost is not the only disadvantage of buying new. In our experience, many new RVs end up needing multiple repairs before everything is working as it should. Yes, these repairs are all covered by the manufacturer’s warranty at no additional cost, but that is often little consolation if your brand new rig spends weeks or even months in a repair shop, wreaking havoc on your travel plans.

A used rig can actually end up needing fewer repairs if it has been well-maintained, as the previous owners have gone through the hassles and inconveniences of working all the kinks out of it.

Number of Beds

Consider how many permanent bunks your family needs and wants and limit your search to models that provide this many beds. While the specs may assert that the trailer sleeping space allows up to ten people, examine how those bed spaces are counted.

Usually, this involves converting dinettes and jack knife sofa into beds. On our rig, converting the sofa to a bed allows no walkway from the master bedroom to the bathroom. So while we could technically use this as a sleeping space, it is not practical.

Chances are one reason you are looking for bunkhouse travel trailers is to avoid the need to remake the dinette into a bed every night while also making sure that everyone has their own bed to retreat to at any time of day.

So look at models that have enough permanent bunks for everyone in the family. The more beds you need, the fewer options you have available. There is a wide variety of floorplan options available in a wide range of sizes for those who only need two bunks. Three or more bunks are not difficult to find, but the options are more limited.

Number of Slides

More slideouts give you more floor space and storage space without adding significantly to the dimensions of your trailer. Many families prefer to look for a rig with as many slides as possible.

Slideouts add weight and one more moving part that can break and need repairs. They also increase your dimensions when parked, which can limit your ability to park in smaller or more narrow spaces (small camper). Opposing slides give the most spacious and open feeling inside the trailer but are also more likely to make your rig too wide for some campgrounds.

Pay attention to how you are able to use your trailer with one or more slides pulled in. Can the bathroom door or refrigerator be opened? Can you walk through to the bedroom? If all slides must be out in order to use the essentials, then carefully consider how you intend to use it and if you anticipate always being able to park in spacious campsites.

Bunkhouse Travel Trailers Length

Similar to the number of slides, the overall length is often a compromise between how much space you would like to have while inside the trailer and keeping your options open for where you will park it.

For example, if you are planning a road trip to visit national parks, keep in mind that RVs that are under 25 feet in length are welcome in 93% of America’s national park campgrounds while staying under 37 feet still gives you access to 60% of them.

Rigs over 40 feet in length can park in just 7% of campgrounds in national parks. For more information about different RV lengths and restrictions in specific national parks, check out this resource .

Weight / Tow vehicle

If you already have a pickup truck or larger SUV that you want to use to tow your travel trailer, investigate how much weight your vehicle is able to tow and restrict your search to trailers with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) below that limit. It might seem obvious, but it can be very tempting to stretch the limits a little bit in order to add a little bit more length or an extra feature that caught your eye. It truly isn’t worth gambling with your family’s safety on the road.

You may see a trailer listed with dry weight and a cargo weight capacity. The dry weight means that all cabinets and tanks are empty. The gross vehicle weight rating is the sum of these two numbers. Remember that you will not always want or be able to tow with all tanks empty, so it is important to consider the gross weight when pairing your trailer with your tow vehicle.

For a complete guide to tow vehicles, weight ratings, and more, use this resource from Trailer Life .

Consider the size and layout of the kitchen if you are preparing food for a whole family in it. Can the refrigerator reasonably hold enough food for your family, or will you need to shop nearly every day of your trip? Is there enough countertop space or overhead storage ?

Is it important for you to have an oven or a microwave? Larger rigs, especially those with opposing slides, often have a kitchen island, which gives the kitchen more storage and countertop space.

However, many large families are completely satisfied with a smaller kitchen. Only you can answer what your individual preferences are and if this is likely to be a source of frustration for you. But it is definitely a factor worth considering.

Is an outdoor kitchen a priority for you? Some families love the option of cooking meals outside, while others rarely use their outdoor kitchens. Since many floorplan builds borrow space from the bunkroom to add the great outdoors kitchen or eliminate the outdoor kitchen to increase the size of the bunkhouse, this is another factor to keep in mind.

Dinette seating

For our family, the ability to comfortably gather our family around the table for meals, regardless of the weather, is non-negotiable. Since we are a family of five, a U shaped dinette was a priority for us. This limited the models we were willing to consider when purchasing our rig.

A surprising number of bunkhouse travel trailers offer permanent beds for up to six people but a dinette that only fits four. If this is also a priority for your family, it is a factor to pay attention to.

Recommended Models

As RV travel becomes increasingly popular among families, the number of bunkhouse travel trailer options seems to multiply. While it’s wonderful to have so many models to choose between, it might feel overwhelming trying to find the best bunkhouse travel trailers for your family. We can help.

This list of 10 recommended models represents a variety of sizes and exterior features, so it’s likely at least one or two of them will meet your needs. Most are available new or used with a variety of years to choose between. Note that different years will have slight variations in bunkhouse layouts and specs, but this overview gives you a starting place to narrow down your options.

Best of all, these rigs are road-tested by real families who are not just using them for weekend getaways or summer vacations but living in them full-time as they travel the country. If they’ve stood up to thousands of miles and full-time use by families with kids (e.g. with an area resembling a living room), and the families still recommend them, then they deserve to be on this list.

My full-time family and other like-minded families we’ve met along the way would like to share with you the best and worst features of our bunkhouse travel trailers.

Bunkhouse Travel Trailer Comparison Chart

With this travel trailer by Coachmen, you will appreciate the ease of towing behind your family vehicle. All the tanks are located under the floor to lower the center of gravity for increased storage capacity and improved handling down the road.

Advantages: This rig offers plenty of cargo space, including a grand design large pantry in the kitchen. Opposing slides give a spacious feeling in the main living area and allow space for a kitchen island. An additional slide in the bunkhouse gives the kids plenty of space.

Disadvantages: Tank space sometimes feels limited, particularly the freshwater tank. This model is long and heavy for a travel trailer, which limits tow vehicle options.

Advantages: The bunkhouse has a great layout with plenty of floor space. The bathroom includes a bathtub, which families love. This is a lightweight model that saves on towing costs and keeps your options open for tow vehicles.

Disadvantages: This layout places the bathroom right next to the master bedroom, which some families do not prefer. There is very limited countertop space in the kitchen. This model does not have an outdoor kitchen.

Floor Plans:

Advantages: This model offers three bunks plus a booth dinette in the bunkhouse. This table is great for crafts, puzzles, Lego building, and coloring. It can also be converted to a bed to give four permanent beds. The U-dinette has a separate bunkhouse room for the whole family, and the bathroom has a bathtub.

Disadvantages: The bathroom can’t be accessed when the slide is in. It would sometimes be convenient if the tanks were larger.

Advantages: Opposing slides in the main living space gives a spacious feel and a great kitchen layout with a lot of countertop space. The bunkroom slide adds a lot of floor space for playing. The outdoor kitchen includes an extra refrigerator, which can allow families to stock up and avoid frequent shopping trips. The built-in bike rack is a nice perk, as is the king-sized bed in the master bedroom.

Disadvantages: The location of the bathroom may be inconvenient for families. There is no storage anywhere near the entry door, nor wall space for hooks, so there is no convenient place to keep shoes and outerwear.

Best Hunkhouse Travel Trailer Under 30 ft: Winnebago Minnie 2455

Don’t let the name mislead you, the Winnebago Minnie packs maximum features into an easy to pull light weight camper. A full 8' wide box provides ample living space and the power slide out creates even more!

Advantages: This Minnie is small and light! Staying under 30 feet opens up a lot of options, and it is light enough to give flexibility in choosing a tow vehicle. U-dinette is great for family meals. The bunk beds are double beds (double bunk), which can be more comfortable for older children.

Disadvantages: This model does not have a bunk area in the sense that the bunk beds are in a room of their own with a door that shuts. It is included as an example of a common floor plan to have bunks in a smaller trailer.

Full-time families who live in this model solve the privacy issue with curtains and other creative solutions. The queen bed is also not in its own room with doors that shut, since there is only a partial wall at the foot of the bed. Parents may not appreciate the lack of privacy, either. The storage space in this model is very limited.

Prime Time Avenger 32QBI

This trailer features and design elements that are considered to be “Best In Class” and rarely found on the competitions are used to fully maximize customer enjoyment.

Advantages: Opposing slides in the living area give generous floor space and allow for a kitchen island for added countertop space. The U-dinette is also roomy to accommodate the whole family around the table. The slide in the bunk room gives plenty of floor space there too. The extra refrigerator in the outdoor kitchen is a bonus that many families really appreciate.

Disadvantages: The location of the bathroom so far from the bunkhouse can be seen as a disadvantage. This rig is long and heavy, which limits your options in choosing a tow vehicle and may, at times, limit where you can take it.

Keystone Outback 293UBH

Advantages: This model is a great compromise between space and gross vehicle weight rating. It is a very lightweight option for a bunkhouse travel trailer with all the necessary features. It is also a very affordable option. The slide gives extra floor space, and the extra refrigerator in the outdoor kitchen helps families stock up on groceries.

Disadvantages: The master bedroom is very small, without many walkways at the foot of the bed. The booth dinette is on the small side for the whole family to sit together for meals. The kitchen is small and offers limited countertop space.

Keystone Outback 31RQS

Advantages: Families that want four bunks without converting a dinette or sofa into a bed in the bunk room; this is your rig. The bathroom is very convenient for kids, and the linen closet is a nice feature. There is good storage space.

Disadvantages: This trailer is heavier than other trailers of a similar size. The kitchen has very limited countertop space. While this camper has permanent beds for six people, the booth dinette can only comfortably seat 4.

Keystone Bullet 287QBS

Step into this single-slide Bullet travel trailer to see just how convenient camping with a larger family can be. The private bunkhouse is a wonderful location to house any guests or children that you have traveling along with you.

Advantages: This trailer is relatively light for as much space as it provides. The bunkhouse has great space and storage. The outdoor kitchen is practical, and the extra refrigerator is a feature many families really appreciate.

Disadvantages: The master bedroom is very small and doesn’t have much space to walk around the foot of the bed. The slide is also small. While this trailer has permanent beds for 5, it is difficult to fit five people around the table in the dinette. Countertop space in the kitchen is limited.

Highland Ridge Open Range 310BHS

This Open Range model offers a spacious living and kitchen area, plus a private sleeping room that the kids or overnight guests will surely love to call their own.

Advantages: Holy Slides, Batman! This model’s four slides, including opposing slides in the living space and one in each bedroom, give this rig a lot of interior space. The kitchen has a large refrigerator and an island. The bunk room has good floor space to play and plenty of storage.

A coat closet by the door is very practical, and the master bedroom closet is a great feature! This is a travel trailer that might not know it isn’t a fifth wheel.

Disadvantages: The combined sofa/dinette area has plenty of seating, but only two small tables and the seating is in a straight line, all of which is less than ideal for family meals.

Young children, in particular, may struggle to eat at such small tables while seated on a sofa, and the trailer lacks a good place for coloring, crafts, building Legos, or other activities kids do at the kitchen table.

I hope this has been a helpful resource in your search for the right bunkhouse travel trailer for your family. While there is no such thing as a perfect RV, if you know your needs and priorities, it is definitely possible to find one that your family loves. See you on the road!

What are the benefits of a bunkhouse camper?

Travel trailer bunkhouses are a great value––you get extra sleeping space for an affordable price. In addition to sleeping capacity, a travel trailer with a bunk room can provide flexibility. Bunk beds are efficient in floor plans, leaving more floor space to move around. Some bunkhouses include beds in a loft, which makes the most of vertical space, leaving you more RV storage room.

These types of RVs are typically smaller, lighter, and more affordable compared to fifth wheels and toy haulers . And smaller travel trailers are great for new RV owners , because their size means they’re easier to tow. Don’t let categories fool you, however––travel trailers are more than just basic RVs. You can also find travel trailers with bunkhouses in mid-range and luxury models, and with a wide variety of attractive amenities. Looking for a bunkhouse model with a fireplace or an outdoor RV kitchen ? Heartland can help you find it.

Who should consider buying a travel trailer bunkhouse RV?

Travel trailers with bunkhouses can suit a variety of campers. Maybe you have a big family with lots of kids, or you like to travel with your extended family in a bunkhouse travel trailer. Bunk beds are a great way to give everyone a little space to themselves. If you like to travel with groups of friends, travel trailer bunkhouse campers are perfect for keeping everyone happy on the road.

Kids love bunk beds because they can go to sleep earlier or later than their siblings without being disturbed when someone else gets up or goes to bed. And a bunkhouse RV's floor plans are perfect for teenagers who want to bring along a friend or just have some time alone to read or listen to music in peace. One additional use for bunk beds is overflow storage space, particularly for people traveling with large objects. For instance, we know of one family who RVs full-time and uses their bunk bed to hold a stand-up cello when they’re on the road.

Disclaimer: Always consult owner’s manuals for vehicles and accessories before towing a recreational vehicle. Towing capacity will vary based on cargo, vehicle configuration, accessories, and number of passengers.

Top 13 Best Bunkhouse Travel Trailers

If you’re looking for an RV with room for the entire family, campers with bunk rooms are worth a look. The best bunkhouse travel trailers are space for four or six people to live full time while adventuring on the road. This generally means saying no to the pull-out sofa or the convertible dinette; these trailers have dedicated space for the kids to sleep and enough room that everyone has a little slice of privacy.

Simply put, a bunkhouse travel trailer has extra bunks. It’s an important distinction, especially when looking at smaller, lightweight trailers. Many of these smaller towable RV models are made to be comfortable for a couple but not so much for large families. A bunkhouse travel trailer fixes this by adding a separate space with dedicated beds for the little ones.

Finding the best bunk room travel trailer for your family starts with striking a balance between the overall size of the trailer you can deal with and the amenities you need. Many of us would like to tow a fifth-wheel trailer or get a Class A, but it’s not feasible a lot of the time. A bunkhouse travel trailer layout is a good place to start since it maximizes floor space and provides a little more privacy.

Smaller, Lighter, Cheaper than Other Options

First off, most bunkhouse travel trailer layouts tend to be travel trailers. By adding more bunks and more rooms, a travel trailer can fit the bill for some campers. They provide enough amenities to keep a family of four (or maybe six) comfortable on long trips. But at the same time, they’re easier to tow, small, and more affordable than a comparable fifth wheel or Class A coach.

Affordability gets better and better the smaller the trailer. If you can tow your travel trailer with the full-size SUV that you already own, you’ll save money in the long run. Remember, you must tow fifth wheels with customized pickups, and Class A’s are much more expensive altogether. So a bunkhouse travel trailer might allow you to skip all of these extra costs if you can tow it with the vehicle you already own.

Dedicated Bunks

Many trailer makers squeeze in an impressive number of bunks, but they have often shared surfaces. So, for example, a dinette might convert into a double, or a jack-knife sofa might pull out and make a large bunk.

In any case, all of these solutions are a pain. It means you’ve got to give up your sitting and dining area to get ready for bed. Furthermore, a daily set-up and break-down phase will become a time-consuming chore. These shared-use spaces are great solutions if you have occasional overnight guests, like an annual trip with the grandkids. But if you are looking for a daily solution, everyone getting their own bed is the key to family happiness.

More Privacy

Mid and larger-sized bunkhouse travel trailers will have the ability to close a door and shut off the bunkhouse travel trailer from the rest of the camper. For parents with small children, this gives the kids their own quiet space to rest, all while freeing up the rest of the camper and leaving the dinette and kitchen intact.

So how does it work in your family? Do the kids go to bed early, or do you rise and shine with the sun while the kids sleep in? These things are much easier if you’ve got a little more privacy.

In smaller RVs, bunks might not have their own doors or be in enclosed rooms. But just having a dedicated place where you can put your stuff makes a world of difference in terms of organization and planning.

Flexibility

Finally, the bunkhouse travel trailer layout provides many options for even those who aren’t traveling with families. It might be handy if you travel with friends or guests one day. For day-to-day living, the bunk space is a welcome addition for storage. It’s invaluable to have the option to put random stuff in a place that is out of the way and not taking up other living spaces.

Travel Trailer and Towing Woes

If you’re comparing a towable to a Class A coach or even to a larger fifth wheel, keep in mind that towing a large travel trailer is still no trivial task. While these trailers are lighter and can be towed by some SUVs, they are by no means ultralights. If your vehicle’s towing capacity isn’t at least 5,000 pounds, you’re probably out of luck unless you’re looking for the smallest bunkhouse travel trailer out there.

And even though they can be pretty luxurious, you won’t find as many amenities in these campers as you would in fifth wheels or coaches. These are budget-conscious starter RVs, and you aren’t likely to find them decked out with washers and dryers, fireplaces, or even very large tanks.

Extra Size, Complexity, and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

On the flip side, these trailers aren’t small and simple, either. While some bunkhouse travel trailers are pretty small and light, there is no getting around the fact that it is an upgrade from the basic camper design.

If your second and third bunks are shared spaces, like sofas or dinettes, the total camper length can be much smaller. Unfortunately, you won’t find bunkhouse travel trailer layouts available in the smallest travel trailers, and when you do find one, it comes at the cost of removing something else entirely.

True Overall Capacity

The next problem with these designs is that they can squeeze many people into a very small camper. The more people you carry, the more space you need for tankage, groceries, clothing, and supplies. So while you might be able to find campers that measure less than 20 feet with multiple bunks, will they provide enough space for everyone to camp comfortably?

It’s much easier for families with small kids to use ultralight bunkhouse travel trailers. Older kids and teens are more likely to want their own space and greater privacy, requiring more space.

Another factor that makes a big difference is the lengths of trips involved. For example, does your group head out for a single overnight? Or are you hoping to spend weeks at a time on the road?

None of these things is a disadvantage, per se. But they do require looking at the camper as a whole package and objectively thinking about how it will suit your mission.

What Is the Best Bunkhouse Travel Trailer?

The good news is that quite a few manufacturers are offering a bunkhouse travel trailer model. These floorplans are popular–they are an inexpensive way to get the whole family on board. That makes them perfect starters and entry-level RVs.

It’s difficult to say which is the best because every camper’s needs are slightly different. Some are looking for an ultralight and minimalist camping experience. Others might be looking for some luxuries and a bigger rig.

Once you know what a bunkhouse travel trailer is, you’ll probably pin down exactly why you do or don’t want one quickly. And in doing that, you’ll likely know exactly what you need. How many bunks, what sort of space, and what does your budget look like for cost and overall size? Layouts vary considerably between model lines, even from the same RV manufacturer. The only way to find one that suits you is to go out and walk through some in the real world!

Number of Beds

Probably the first criterion will be figuring out exactly how many bunks you need. The fewer bunks you can get away with, the more spacious the camper will feel. After that, just make sure all of your family members, or whoever is traveling with you regularly, have their own private space.

Of course, not all bunks are created equally. Many campers have smaller single bunks that are built for kids. Older children and teens might feel quite cramped and uncomfortable, so you’ll want to be sure to spend some time in each layout and see how your family fits, literally!

Most trailers have just one bathroom to optimize space. Some models have stand-up showers only, but some have tub/shower combinations. If you are traveling with younger kids, you might prefer a bathroom with a tub for easy bathtime.

Bathroom location can be important to families. Some models have a bathroom close to the master suite, which is great for the parents but might be inconvenient for the kids. Others place the bathroom next to the bunk room, which is easier for the kids but might be harder for the parents. A centralized bathroom works well for all.

Most bunkhouse travel trailer kitchens feature a fridge, microwave, storage, prep space, and sink. However, you might prefer a kitchen with additional prep space and a large pantry if you are traveling long-term. In addition, some larger rigs have a kitchen island which gives more counter space.

• Outdoor Kitchen

Most modern models feature outdoor kitchens. This is a great way to enjoy outdoor time as a family and keep the heat and mess of meal prep outside the RV. In addition, outdoor kitchens usually have an extra fridge, which is great for extending the time between grocery runs. Outdoor kitchens also have a sink and griddle or stovetop.

Dinette Seating

Small trailers usually have small dinettes, and this is one of the easiest ways you can gauge just how comfortable your family will be. Is there enough room for the family to eat around the table comfortably? While at the table, can the chef get to and from the kitchen easily?

These might sound like minor things, but you have to remember that it’s easy for RV makers to add more bunks. It’s much harder for them to create layouts that work for that many people. Can you realistically use the layout and be comfortable? That’s the question you need to continually ask yourself as you compare layouts.

Dinette seating usually converts into extra own sleeping space, adding to the number of guests you can host.

Number of Slide-Outs

Slide-outs are an easy way to get more real estate inside the RV. It’s especially useful with a dinette, but it’s also handy in some bunkhouse travel trailer layouts where the bunkroom slides out for more floor space.

Slides add cost and complexity to a rig, however. As with all decisions when planning such a big purchase, you’ll have to find the right balance. Make sure the expense of a slide-out is gaining you something. It should make a useable space that makes the camper feel more comfortable.

Bunkhouse Length

Most bunkhouse travel trailers are less than 40 feet long. The smaller and lighter the RV, the easier it is to tow. Shorter trailers are easier to store and find campground spaces for. Bunkhouse travel trailers on our list range from a tiny 13-foot trailers to a 39-foot trailers. The best shopping technique is to buy the smallest bunkhouse travel trailer that will meet your needs for the kind of traveling you enjoy.

National parks can easily accommodate RVs under 25 feet. An RV under 37 feet can access about 60% of parks, while only a small percentage of National Parks can accommodate trailers over 40 feet. If traveling to National Parks is on your bucket list, aim for a smaller rig.

Weight and Tow Capacity

If you already have a tow vehicle and don’t want to trade up, pick an RV that matches your current vehicle. Most RVs advertise their empty weight. This weight doesn’t include water or fuel in the tanks and personal gear. After you’ve loaded up the trailer, it will weigh more. Make sure you know how much weight your SUV can tow and calculate the actual weight of the trailer plus any liquids, RV accessories , and gear.

RVs come with several tanks. You’ll have fresh water tanks, propane tanks, grey water tanks, and black water tanks. The bigger your tanks, the longer you can go without topping off and dumping out. However, bigger tanks also take up more storage space and add to your total towing weight.

If you plan on boondocking for weeks, look for a trailer with large tanks. On the other hand, if you plan on simple weekends at an RV park, you can get away with smaller tanks.

Separate Bunk Rooms

The bigger the trailer, the more space, and privacy bunk rooms will have. While you can find some very small campers that squeeze many bunks into short tow packages, the amenities are generally limited.

What is a Bunkhouse?

If you aren’t familiar with the term ‘bunkhouse’, it is used by camper manufacturers to say that the travel trailer has bunk beds of some kind.

Even if the bunks are not closed off from the camper with a door or in a separate room, they’re considered a bunkhouse.

Some RV brands use the term ‘bunkroom’ if the bunk beds are located in a separate room, and there may be as many as three or four bunk beds, depending on the floor plan.

When choosing a bunkhouse travel trailer under 30 feet, you need to check the following:

The size of the bunks (twin, full or queen)

The available living space and compact floorplans

Based on these considerations, the following travel trailers under 30 feet are equipped with bunkhouses or bunk rooms, and might be the perfect choice for your adventures.

What is the Difference Between an RV with a Bunk Bed and a Bunk House?

As more RV brands look to attract families the design of travel trailers has evolved to accommodate those size group. Specifically, when it comes to additional sleeping capacity without taking up more space, manufacturers have added bunk beds or bunkhouses to their floor plans.

But what is the difference between a bunk bed or bunkhouse? Below we’ll go over each one.

Travel Trailer with Bunk Beds

Above is an interior of a travel trailer with bunk beds. There are dozens of travel trailer floor plans with bunk beds. Bunk beds are usually seen as part of a slide out.

Travel Trailer with Bunkhouse

Above is a typical bunkhouse layout. The area below the bunk bed often times has seating that converts to a bed when needed. We like this design a bit better than just two bunk beds as this adds flexibility to space as it can be used as a seating area when the bed is not in use.

Travel Trailers with Bunk House Summary

Overall choosing a model of travel trailers with bunk house or beds is a matter of personal choice and personal needs. For a family of 4 or more having bunks are a good choice and one, you should definitely consider.

10 Best Travel Trailers With a Bunkhouse

Sharing is caring!

Travel trailers with a bunkhouse are a great option for those with kids, but they are also a fun option for the kid in you. A bunkhouse offers that little bit of extra sleeping room that’s often lacking in standard travel trailers. 

Plus, it’s great for traveling with friends or extended family when you need that extra bunk or two to make it happen. Adults typically prefer to avoid sleeping on the floor unless there are a lot of good bourbons involved. 

Not all travel trailers with a bunkhouse are created equally, which is great for you if you’re in the market for one. They generally range from 22’ to 40’, with a ton of floorplan options and the efficiency of extra sleeping space.

What’s the Difference Between a Bunkhouse and a Travel Trailer?

Technically, they’re both still travel trailers. The only difference is the bunkhouse option has bunk beds or some variation of a bunk. Travel trailers dominate the RV camping industry. There are so many of them it’s easy to get confused as to which is the best.

Manufacturers of travel trailers with a bunkhouse use some pretty ingenuous ways to fit those bunks in there as well, including lofts, which help maintain plenty of vertical space. There’s also a large enough variety, including affordable, mid-range, and premium options. 

Plus, bunkhouse travel trailers always seem to have the edge regarding a suitable floor plan. If you lay out the bunkhouse models next to their standard cousins, it’s easy to see that bunkhouse versions often have a spacier layout. 

10 Best Travel Trailers with a Bunkhouse

Travel trailers with a bunkhouse have a nice indoor aesthetic, especially when the bunkhouse resembles a loft. Depending on the size of your family, sleeping space is one of the key factors, along with budget and quality. 

That said, here are some of the best travel trailers with a bunkhouse on the market today. 

1. Jayco Jay Flight 294QBS

Our Pros and Cons:

✅ Quad bunks in the rear

⛔ Dark interior aesthetic might not be for everyone

• UVW: 6,715lbs
• GVWR: 8,250lbs
• Tongue/Hitch Weight: 910lbs
• CCC: 1,535lbs
• Length: 35’ 7”

The quad-bunk room in the back is very spacious. With two foldable beds for optional storage while the others are stationary. The camp-side bunks are a little wider than the right side, but there are plenty of windows and lights for all four. 

The Jayco Jay Flight 294QBS sleeps up to 10. Not only can you bring your family along, but they can also bring their friends. Everyone will have a place to sleep. 

There is only one full bath, which may have trouble accommodating 10 people, but it’s nice nonetheless. The Queen bed sits on the road side of the trailer, next to a loaded kitchen and entertainment combo, seamlessly integrated and loaded with amenities. 

The dinette is U-shaped, restaurant style, and sits next to a jackknife sofa. The kitchen contains all the expected amenities, and it’s easy to take everything outside to the exterior kitchen if needed.

2. Grand Design Imagine 3210BH

✅ Interior is one of the spaciest designs on the market

⛔Pass-through bathroom is lacking in the way of privacy

• UVW: 8,394lbs
• GVWR: 10,195lbs
• Tongue/Hitch Weight: 889lbs
• CCC: 1,801lbs
• Length: 36’ 11”

The Grand Design Imagine 3210BH pulls off a magic trick. It’s pretty standard looking from the outside (regarding travel trailer aesthetics). When you step inside, however, the amount of space is truly incredible. “Grand Design” indeed. 

If you love the high-tech look, the theater seating is really well-thought-out and designed. The main HD TV sits above the dinette booth, with two flanking, upward-firing speakers.

With all that extra space, the 3210BH designed a quad-bunk room on one end, with two flip-top, 34” bunks on one side and two 30” bunks on the other. The exterior includes an outside kitchen with a fridge, grill, and a 9’ awning. 

For those who have boondocking in mind, there is an option to add the Imagine Solar Package to support your power needs off the grid.

3. Keystone Hideout 21BHWE

✅ Small and easy to tow

⛔ It may be too small for larger families

• UVW: 4,496lbs
• GVWR: 7,000lbs
• Tongue/Hitch Weight: 538lbs
• CCC: 2,507lbs
• Length: 25’ 4”

The Keystone Hideout is one of the most affordable travel trailers with a bunkhouse on our list, with an MSRP of $22,639. One of the main attractions of the Hideout 21BHWE is the versatility of the interior. 

The jackknife sofa in the living room converts into a murphy bed, converting the front living space into a bedroom in just a few seconds. The Hideout also includes a set of bunks. Being a little smaller has limitations, so there is no quad-bunk here. 

The bunk beds are double-size, and despite the small nature of the Hideout, there is still plenty of space inside, along with several storage options. 

With that being said, you can still sleep 7 comfortably. This is also a lightweight travel trailer, making it much easier to hook up and tow, especially with the addition of four stabilizer jacks. The power awning is fully adjustable, and the exterior includes speakers for plenty of outdoor entertainment.

4. Palomino Puma 28BHSS

✅ The interior is high-quality, with a clear focus on craftsmanship

⛔ The EPDM Rubber Roofing has a unique aesthetic 

• UVW: 7,513lbs
• GVWR: 9,063lbs
• Tongue/Hitch Weight: 835lbs
• CCC: 1,550lbs
• Length: 36’

Despite that aesthetic, The Puma 28BHSS comes with a 12-year manufacturing warranty , so it’s hard to argue with that. Puma placed a premium on interior height, and unless you play in the NBA, you’ll never feel like you’re about to bounce your head off the top of a door frame.

The Puma 28BHSS presents a unique idea for the bunk house, with wrap-around bunks floating over a sofa bed. Across from the bunks and sofa is a small corner entertainment center crowned with an HD TV. 

As a family, your kids might prefer to spend their entertainment evenings in the bunkhouse rather than the living room. It’s that comfortable. The U-Dinette and sofa are a part of the slide-out, but despite the depth, they’re well situated across from the entertainment center.

The kitchen area is fully loaded, including a walk-in pantry. Everything you need for outdoor cooking and grilling is located in the kitchen. The advantage and value packages add many features already, but the optional limited edition and electric power package features can bring this travel trailer to new heights.

5. Keystone Passport 2401BH

✅ Two bathrooms, with one located next to the double bunks

⛔ The microwave is super tiny

• UVW: 5,670lbs
• GVWR: 7,600lbs
• Tongue/Hitch Weight: 685lbs
• CCC: 1,930lbs
• Length: 29’ 3”

The Keystone Passport 2401BH travel trailer bunkhouse was designed with storage in mind. You’ll love this travel trailer bunkhouse if you like to pack heavily. The Passport 2401BH is a part of Keystone’s GT series and is new for 2023.

The bunkhouse in the rear is right next to a rear-corner bathroom, with the other bathroom adjacent to the queen bed. Both bunks are doubles, with a ladder and a bed-length window next to each. 

The bottom bunk folds up for more storage options, including pass-through storage. The exterior includes an outdoor kitchen and an extra-large awning to cover all outdoor cooking needs.

The U-dinette converts into a bed, and there is more than enough room to sleep 8. Depending on your floor plan, there is also an optional theater dinette, one of the nicest add-ons if you don’t mind the price jump.

6. Winnebago Micro Minnie 2100BH

✅ Small enough for SUV and ½ ton pickup towing

⛔ You may want to replace the privacy curtain for the master bed with something thicker

• UVW: 4,036lbs
• GVWR: 5,500lbs
• Tongue/Hitch Weight: 448lbs
• CCC: 1,464 lbs
• Length: 21’ 11”

Some people may be disappointed at the elevated MSRP on a mini-travel trailer BH, and that’s a shame because this one happens to be a very nice bunkhouse option that sleeps 5. Within the 22’ length, Winnebago packed two bunks, a full-size main, and a convertible dinette. 

Not bad for one of the smallest trailers on the list. It’s also a well-equipped, smaller travel trailer with bunk beds. The Winnebago Micro Minnie 2100BH offers a fully equipped kitchen with plenty of storage capacity. 

The three-burner stove is standard in this bunkhouse travel trailer and includes a large sink with a high-rise faucet to boot. The dining area is decent, with booth seating that converts into a sleeper. The bathroom is located next to the bunks and is surprisingly sizeable. 

It’s not a full-size bathroom, but it’s definitely more than you would expect for a travel trailer this size. The exterior features are standard but premium, including the LED awning, pass-through storage options, and some basic boondocking features. 

7. Crossroads Zinger ZR340BH

✅ Comes with a very premium design aesthetic and feel

⛔ Control center can be finicky in some models

• UVW: 9,220lbs
• GVWR: 11,450lbs
• Tongue/Hitch Weight: 1,252lbs
• CCC: 2,230lbs
• Length: 38’

The word “zinger” conjures images of something small and streamlined, but the Crossroads Zinger ZR340BH is anything but that idea. This monster is going for the royalty look and, for the most part, pulls it off nicely. 

The aesthetic is spot on, and when you throw in the roaring fireplace, king-size bed, and wardrobe/entertainment center, this becomes one of the most comfortable BH travel trailers on the market. It is also easy to get into the storage bays with the Keyed-A-Like Locking system.

It’s a spacious travel trailer that places a premium on privacy, with the bunk area and the king bedroom completely privatized, assuming you like to close doors. There are storage options aplenty, with a nice entertainment center that melds seamlessly with the L-counter in the kitchen.

There’s a lone bathroom, but it retains the overall aesthetic, with enough room to move around. The exterior contains all of the storage and entertainment features you would expect, including a large awning and an outside kitchen built into the side. 

8. Coachmen Northern Spirit 2963BH

✅ Very kid and pet-focused

⛔ The tool center is located next to the door, which may get in the way

• UVW: 6,408lbs
• Tongue/Hitch Weight: 760lbs
• CCC: 1,192lbs
• Length: 34’

Coachmen’s Northern Spirit Ultra-Lite Series is relatively new to the world of RVs, but if they keep pushing products like the Northern Spirit 2963BH , they’ll do just fine. For 34’, it’s easy to see why. 

This is a popular option for large families, especially with younger kids involved. Both double bunks (the lower one flips up) come with kid’s convenience centers and a bathroom directly adjacent to the bunks. 

The bathroom is one of the largest on the list and includes a full tub and a hamper. Plus, it’s accessible with an entranceway from the outside. The queen bed is also a flip-up, flanked by two small wardrobes and plenty of storage beneath the bed. 

The U-Dinette is also a convertible bed and includes a pet center. The entertainment center is also a nice touch, butting up against a large L-counter with plenty of surface space. The outside includes storage options and the requisite RV outdoor kitchen. 

9. Cruiser Embrace EL280

✅ Spacious and window-friendly for an airy feel

⛔ Entertainment Center TV is angled poorly to the sofa

• UVW: 6,360lbs
• GVWR: 9,620lbs
• Tongue/Hitch Weight: 820lbs
• CCC: 3,228lbs
• Length: 33’ 4”

The Cruiser Embrace EL280 placed a premium on the word “private” with the front bedroom and the three-bed bunkhouse. Each space has doors to close them off from the rest of the trailer. The bunkhouse includes a foldable upper bunk and a lower lounge area. 

It’s also conveniently located next to the bathroom, which is large enough to include a bathtub. The unique shape of the sink countertop provides some additional counter space and is located across from a booth-style dining area.

The sofa is highly comfortable and standard size, but the HD TV does have a semi-awkward angle to the couch. The primary bed is king-size, leaving plenty of “walk-around” room on both sides. 

10. Lance 2185

✅ With a focus on “flexible” space, sleeping and space are entirely adjustable

⛔ Flip-top table can get in the way of the front entryway

• UVW: 5,345lbs
• GVWR: 7,900lbs
• Tongue/Hitch Weight: 915lbs
• CCC: 2,555lbs
• Length: 26’ 1”

The bunkhouse in the Lance 2185 features a three-level bunk, with the bottom bed resting on the floor, which is where the flexibility resides. Since the bed folds up, it presents several storage options or other lounging possibilities. 

The front bedroom includes a bed that flips down into a couch, with a forward windshield that gives the room an incredible vibe. Two mini-wardrobes flanks the bed, but the room’s overall aesthetic remains spacey and modern. 

The kitchen is standard and includes all amenities, including the flip-top counter piece for additional real estate when you’re working in the kitchen. The outside space has hookups for three propane tanks and an optional solar array. 

Two lithium-ion batteries, three propane tanks, and the addition of solar panels open up the boondocking options if that’s your thing. 

Do You Need a Big Truck to Tow a Bunkhouse?

You don’t need a big truck to tow a bunkhouse travel trailer. Some compact trucks are more than capable of hauling weights above 7,000 lbs. Most bunkhouses are designed for full-size truck hauling, but there are exceptions, like the Winnebago Minnie.

Are Bunkhouses Good for Full-Time Living?

Travel trailers with a bunkhouse are good for full-timing. Some of these travel trailers are monstrous in size, and their amenities are perfect. On the other hand, if you have a family of 8 to 10 and own a Winnebago Minnie 2100BH, well, you have fun with that. 

How Much Does a Travel Trailer with a Bunkhouse Cost?

The price disparity can be pretty wide. For instance, the MSRP on the Keystone Hideout 21BHWE is $22k, while the MSRP on the Grand Design Imagine 3210BH is $67k. The numbers are all over the place, but you shouldn’t expect to exceed $80k in most cases. 

How Long are Travel Trailers with Bunkhouses?

Travel trailers with a bunkhouse are long as 40′ and as short as 20′. Manufacturers create floorplans that include bunkhouses without sacrificing standard spaces in a travel trailer. 

8 Things to Look for in a Travel Trailer with a Bunkhouse

The first and most obvious thing to look for is a bunkhouse. There are sinister things afoot if it’s a travel trailer with a bunkhouse and lacks a bunkhouse. 

1. Number of Beds

Aside from the necessary, dedicated bunkbeds, the number of beds is just as important. If you have a large family, four bunks, a convertible dinette, and the main bedroom provide a good deal of sleeping room. 

Length is critical, depending on what (if any) sacrifices were made regarding living space. While a 35’ travel trailer bunkhouse is bound to have plenty of space, that doesn’t necessarily mean that a 29’ bunkhouse is a ripoff. 

3. Family-Friendly Layout

Family-friendly travel trailer bunkhouse layouts focus on families. A bunkhouse is great, especially for sleeping arrangements, but the rest of the travel trailer should also be family-friendly. 

4. Extra Amenities

The Coachmen Northern Spirit 2963BH is an example of extra amenities, including the kid’s convenience centers in each bunk and the pet center in the kitchen/living space. Extra amenities are always a plus, if not a requirement in many cases.

5. Number and Style of Bathrooms

For larger families, bathrooms jump to a higher tier of importance. One full bathroom is great until you have 8 people running around and three need to use it. Simplicity is fine for small families, but the larger the family, the more a bunkhouse travel trailer with a bath and a half becomes necessary. 

6. Cargo Space and Capacity

Most of the travel trailer bunkhouses on this list are great in terms of storage. For those that may seem lacking, keep your eyes peeled for flexibility in different rooms, such as fold-up bunks and pass-through storage options.

All towable travel trailers can add more storage with some creative DIY products and devices. Learn simple tricks to increase your storage capacity in our RV storage hacks article on our sister-site Motorhome FAQs.

7. Maintenance

Nobody wants a travel trailer bunkhouse that requires a high level of maintenance. It’s more about ease of maintenance. How accessible is everything? Can you get to the back of the water heater? How much access do you have to the wiring?

When shopping for your perfect-size RV , also approach it from a repair and maintenance point of view.

Fortunately, there is a wide spectrum in the MSRPs for travel trailer bunkhouse prices. You can push it as low as $20k without sacrificing too much. Even if you decide to go with a used travel trailer bunkhouse, manufacturer warranties are often multi-year.

What Do You Look for in a Travel Trailer Bunkhouse?

Look for the best accommodation for your family and their needs, wants, and preferences. The best thing about travel trailer bunkhouses is the focused design for larger families, with applicable features and amenities. 

Since bunkhouse travel trailers are designed for several individuals, bathrooms, storage space, privacy, beds, and lounging areas are critical to match your family size.

Final Learning Regarding RV Weights and Towing

Frequently, websites may list RV weights without specifying the type of weight or just use the term “dry weight” (UVW). However, keep in mind that you must take into account all weights and loads, including persons, when towing a camper with your truck. Therefore, in my experience, the Gross Weight (GVWR) is the only weight that matters when determining whether you can or cannot tow the RV. In general, I don’t place a lot of emphasis on dry weight since I want my RV to be fully loaded. Therefore, from my perspective, the gross weight is a crucial weight that I will take into account to determine if I will be able to pull the travel trailer or not.

The camper’s Dry Weight (sometimes referred to as the UVW or shipped weight) and Load Capacity Weight are added to get the Gross Weight Rating (GVWR), often referred to as the total weight or “GVWR” weight. Before selecting to buy and tow an RV, always refer to the owner’s manuals of the relevant vehicles and equipment. Additionally, be completely aware of your vehicle’s towing capability given the setup you are utilizing. Depending on the load, vehicle layout, passenger count, and extras, the towing capability will change. Before you start driving, verify the towing capacity of your vehicle and, if required, get expert assistance. This is for both your and others’ safety.

About John Smith

For more than 30 years I worked in the exciting world of RV manufacturing. I liked knowing that I could improve the campers with customer feedback and see the improvements and upgrades on floor plans, delivering the best designs and the best quality RVs, year after year. After traveling with my family in RVs and small rented campers across the USA, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and even North Africa, I feel that I must share personal experiences, guidance, concerns, tips, and news. At Camper Outdoor, we share our biggest passion, weekend getaways in a camper, RV vacations, extended stays in RV parks, the quiet life of senior couples who choose to spend more time enjoying their RV, and boondocking experiences (which as in the beginning was unsuccessful, we have good tips to avoid the same thing happening to you!).
