A bunkhouse travel trailer, or bunkhouse RV, is a towable recreational vehicle with a floor plan that incorporates bunk beds. Bunkhouses are available in a variety of lengths and layouts, making them ideal for people who want a more luxurious camping experience as well as those who prefer a more basic and straightforward camping experience. Bunkhouses may feature double, triple, or quad bunks; the configuration is entirely dependent on the amount of room you require for camping.
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN PURCHASING A BUNKHOUSE TRAVEL TRAILER
To assist you in making the best choice, the following are some considerations to take when purchasing a bunkhouse travel trailer.
BUDGET
On average, trailers cost between $10,000 to several hundred thousand dollars, depending on the layout/floor plan and overall quality and amenities. Used trailers may be an excellent alternative if you’re on a tight budget, but bear in mind the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing one.
TOWING VEHICLE CAPACITY & WEIGHT
It is important to know your vehicle’s towing capacity since it determines the maximum amount of weight that your vehicle can haul. When shopping for a bunkhouse travel trailer, limit your search to trailers with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) less than your vehicle’s towing capability.
SLEEPING CAPACITY
The number of people sleeping inside the travel trailer is a matter to consider. You’ll want to buy a trailer that’s big enough to comfortably sleep all of the individuals who need to sleep inside. Several models on the market are spacious and can sleep large families, eliminating the need to convert other portions of the trailer into sleeping areas.
BUNKHOUSE TRAVEL TRAILER SIZE
Consider its height, width, and length when selecting the ideal bunkhouse travel trailer.
Bunkhouse trailers typically require more length than non-bunk models, and while additional length means more space, keep in mind the additional space required for parking. RVs under 25 feet in length are permitted in 93 percent of America’s national park campgrounds, but travel options can become limited as the length increases.
Consider the height and width since some bridges and tunnels were not constructed with larger RVs in mind. Always be aware of the trailer’s dimensions before purchasing.
NEW VS. USED: PROS AND CONS
Depending on your preferences and budget, you may either get new models or used. Each choice has certain pros and cons; make sure you select the one that works best for you.
NEW BUNKHOUSE TRAVEL TRAILERS
Pros include:
- A manufacturer’s warranty.
- The ability to customize your travel trailer.

- Prior owners may have addressed any issues.
