The Ultimate Space Saver: Loft RVs & Fifth Wheels

Why Choose an RV with a Loft?

Loft floorplans take the "dead space" found in traditional RVs (usually above a mid-bunk room, bathroom, or toy hauler garage) and transform it into a functional second story. Here is why the loft layout is in such high demand:

Bonus Sleeping Capacity (Zero Footprint)

The greatest advantage of a loft is that it provides a permanent, dedicated sleeping area that does not eat up any of your main floor square footage. You get the sleeping capacity of a massive bunkhouse, but you still get to keep your sprawling rear living room and kitchen island.

The Ultimate Kids' Hideout

If you travel with children or grandchildren, the loft instantly becomes their favorite room in the RV. Accessed by a built-in ladder or staircase, it feels like a private treehouse. Many modern lofts feature dedicated TV prep, USB charging stations, and storage cubbies, giving kids a space to call their own.

Versatile Storage and Office Space

Not traveling with kids? A loft is still incredibly valuable. Full-timers frequently use the loft as a climate-controlled attic for storing off-season clothing, holiday decorations, and bulky gear. Alternatively, with a little modification, the loft can serve as a quiet, out-of-the-way reading nook or a mobile office space.

Jayco: Heavy-Duty Family Fun

Jayco’s fifth wheels and destination trailers are legendary for their structural integrity, which is exactly what you want when putting a second-story floor in an RV. You will frequently find stunning loft layouts in the Eagle, North Point, and Jay Flight Bungalow series.

• The Magnum Truss™ Roof: Jayco builds the strongest roof in the industry (withstanding 4,500 lbs.). This means their loft ceilings are incredibly sturdy, structurally sound, and well-insulated against the elements.

• Heavy-Duty Loft Floors: Jayco engineers their loft floors to handle real weight, not just small children. Their lofts are built to safely accommodate teenagers and adults.

• Destination Trailer Lofts: If you are parking your RV seasonally, the Jayco Bungalow features some of the most expansive "Double Lofts" in the industry, taking advantage of the taller, residential-style rooflines.

Grand Design: Innovative Layouts and Luxury

Grand Design is famous for popularizing the "Mid-Bunk with Loft" layout. Their integration of vertical space in lines like the Reflection, Solitude, and Momentum is nothing short of brilliant.

• The Mid-Bunk Masterpiece: Grand Design excels at placing a private, enclosed bunk room or office on the main floor, with a spacious loft directly above it. This layout (found in models like the Solitude 378MBS) gives you three distinct bedrooms while maintaining a massive rear living area.

• Toy Hauler Drop-Down Lofts: In the Momentum toy hauler line, Grand Design often utilizes the high ceilings above the garage or the main living area to create seamless, integrated lofts that are perfect for guests after a day on the trails.

• Thoughtful Ventilation: Grand Design ensures their lofts never feel stuffy. They specifically design these spaces with dedicated A/C ducts and opening windows to create comfortable cross-ventilation.
