When you’re shopping for the right RV, it can be overwhelming to decide what option is best for you. From size to brand, there are a lot of things to consider! A popular choice for anyone traveling with children, large families, or large groups is the bunkhouse RV. Keep reading to learn more about these RVs and if they’re a good fit for you.

1. What is a Bunkhouse RV? 

The definition of a bunkhouse is straightforward: it’s an RV that includes bunk beds. Its broad definition can include a variety of RV models, ranging from travel trailers to motorhomes. However, the most common bunkhouse models will be towable RVs. 

2. How is the Layout?

You will frequently find that bunkhouse models have a bedroom suite, living space, and a room with bunk beds. The sleeping quarters are typically divided by the living space. This layout can be advantageous for offering privacy and a common area to spend time together. 

You may find models that utilize slide outs for the bunk spaces, bedroom or kitchen. There can be variations of the layout and the different uses for slide outs can change the flow of the RV as well. Explore the different options to determine what would be most comfortable and catered to your situation!

3. Can Sleeping Accommodations Be Adjusted?

When you think of a bunkhouse you’ll obviously think of bunk beds, but there are ways to adjust and accommodate more people. 

The bunks can be fixed structures or can move to accommodate other arrangements. Sometimes they’ll be stacked on top of each other and other times they’ll stack on top of another piece of furniture. 

Multipurpose furniture is a great option if you need to allow room for several guests but don’t want to sacrifice daytime living space. For example, sofa beds are a common solution in many travel trailers!

Sleeping accommodations can always be adjusted and there are many easy solutions for RV travel. 

4. Who Can Sleep in the Bunks?

At first thought, it seems bunks are made for children. And while this is true in many circumstances, some adults can get comfortable enough to sleep in them as well. Bunk beds typically use twin size mattresses, but you’ll also need to consider the space between the bed and the ceiling! You might want to try it out before you commit to having your friends sleep in the bunks!

5. What Features Are Available?

Bunkhouse RVs have the same features as other models, meaning you will enjoy the RV lifestyle with additional sleeping space! You can enjoy outdoor awnings, amazing entertainment centers, and functional features like double-insulated walls. 

Bunkhouse trailers are a great option for anyone shopping for their perfect RV. Our team at Howdy RV, located in Mathis and Aransas Pass, TX, would love to show you our selection. We are proud to serve Rockport, Corpus Christi, and Port Aransas.
