The Ultimate Family Camper: Bunkhouse Travel Trailers & Fifth Wheels

Why Choose a Bunkhouse Floorplan?

Bunkhouse layouts are engineered specifically for families, offering distinct advantages over traditional couples' coaches or standard layouts:

Dedicated Sleeping Space

The primary benefit is convenience. With permanent bunk beds, the kids have their own space ready to go the moment you arrive at the campground. You never have to sacrifice your dining table or living room sofa just to get everyone to sleep.

Privacy for the Whole Family

In larger travel trailers and fifth wheels, bunkhouses often come as their own enclosed room. This means kids or guests can go to bed early behind a closed door, while the adults stay up in the main living area or outside under the awning without disturbing anyone.

Unmatched Storage Capacity

Bunkhouse models are masters of hidden storage. Many floorplans feature "flip-up" bottom bunks that create a massive rear storage garage for bicycles, coolers, and large camping gear when traveling. Built-in wardrobes and under-bunk drawers ensure everyone has a place for their clothes.

Jayco: The Undisputed Heavyweight of Family Camping

For nearly 20 years, the Jay Flight has been the #1 selling travel trailer in North America, largely due to its legendary bunkhouse floorplans. Jayco engineers their bunks to withstand the realities of family camping.

• Industry-Leading Weight Capacity: Jayco builds their bunks stronger than the competition. Their double-over-double bunks are rated for a massive 600 lbs., meaning they easily accommodate teenagers or adult guests.

• Teddy Bear Mattresses: Jayco features ultra-plush, residential-style "Teddy Bear" bunk mats that kids love, ensuring a great night's sleep.

• Family-Proof Construction: Backed by their 2-Year Limited + 3-Year Structural Warranty, Jayco bunkhouses feature the Magnum Truss Roof system and durable, scratch-resistant flooring.

Grand Design: Thoughtful Luxury and Smart Layouts

Grand Design revolutionized the bunkhouse market with lines like the Imagine and Transcend Xplor, focusing on massive storage, pet-friendly features, and wide-open living spaces.

• The Separate Bunk Room: Grand Design excels at the "Bunk Room" layout (like the famous 2800BH or 3210BH). These models feature solid sliding doors, dedicated entertainment centers for the kids, and oversized windows.

• Mid-Bunk Fifth Wheels: For growing families, Grand Design's Reflection and Solitude lines offer the incredibly popular "Mid-Bunk" layout. This places a private bunk room in the middle of the coach and a loft above it, leaving the entire rear of the RV open for a massive, luxurious living room.

• Four-Season Comfort: Grand Design’s superior insulation means the bunkhouse stays warm in the early spring and cool in the dead of summer, ensuring your family's comfort no matter the season.

Find Your Perfect Bunk Layout

Not all bunkhouses are created equal. Depending on your family size and tow vehicle, you have several options:

• Single-over-Single Bunks: Perfect for smaller SUVs and lightweight towing. These are tucked into the rear corner to maximize living space.

• Double-over-Double Bunks: The most popular choice. These spacious corner bunks can comfortably sleep up to four people.

• Private Bunk Rooms: Found in larger travel trailers and fifth wheels, offering a separate slide-out, multiple beds, and a secondary entertainment space.
