Whether traveling with family or friends, having an RV with bunk beds makes hosting larger groups easy. Bunk beds are a common way for RVs to add sleeping capacity while saving valuable space. If you are a “more-is-more” type of traveler and enjoy bringing company along, let’s explore our top picks for the best Class C RV with bunk beds.
Is a Cabover Bunk a “Bunk Bed?”
You may need a ladder to reach it, and it may look like a bunk, but the Class C signature cabover is not a bunk bed. C Class RV bunk beds are often found in a slide-out next to the motorhome’s rear bedroom area. Because a cabover bunk is a nearly universal feature of Class C campers for sale, we’ve compiled this list to include motorhomes with bunk beds in addition to the traditional cabover bunk and the bed in the primary sleeping area.
The Best Class C Motorhomes with Bunk Beds
Bunk beds increase sleeping capacity, but they also occupy interior space in Class C RVs. That’s why you’ll find a fairly standard layout across the featured Class C RV manufacturers in this article—Jayco, Thor, Forest River, and Winnebago.
These layouts have been optimized to add functional sleeping capacity without removing other essential RV features like storage. Don’t be fooled, though. Each of these Class C campers with bunk beds has unique features, so you can pick the ideal one for you.

Jayco Redhawk 31F
Specs
- Length: 32’6”
- GVWR: 14,500 pounds
- Chassis: Ford® E-450
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 7
Favorite Feature: Expert Handling with Jayco JRide®
The Redhawk 31F comes with all the features you need, but what we really love is its standard inclusion of Jayco’s signature JRide® handling. Driving the Redhawk is comfortable and easy with the computer-balanced driveshaft and front and rear stabilizers. Hellwig® helper springs prevent you and your passengers from feeling the worst of bumpy roads.
Pick between two interior design options to make your Redhawk feel more your style. The cabover bunk doubles as a stargazing spot with the panoramic skylight but has a power shade when it’s time for lights out.
Overall, the Jayco Redhawk combines an affordable price tag with features designed to improve your RV experience. Not for you? There are more Jayco Class C floorplans to explore!
Thor Coleman 31CM
Specs
- Length: 32’8”
- GVWR: 14,500 pounds
- Chassis: Ford® E-Series
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 7
Favorite Feature: Super Slide on the Off-Campside
Camping and Coleman go hand in hand. The Coleman 31CM keeps that reputation of reliability and functionality going. This no-frills motorhome is ideal for travelers who value function over style. That’s apparent with two bathroom entrances, allowing for easy access from the primary bedroom and the living area. The interior space also increases dramatically when you extend the super slide that runs nearly the camper’s entire length.
When it comes to driveability, you get a powerful V8 engine, an 8,000-pound hitch rating, and 55.7 cubic feet of exterior storage for your gear. You can go off-grid with a 4.0kw gas generator or add solar panels for a more sustainable option.
Jayco Greyhawk 31F
Specs
- Length: 32’6”
- GVWR: 14,500 pounds
- Chassis: Ford® E-450
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 7
Favorite Feature: Unmatched Driving Experience with JRide® Plus
The Greyhawk 31F has an identical layout to the Redhawk 31F, but the added features make it more desirable if you have the budget.
Where the Redhawk comes with Jayco’s signature JRide®, the Greyhawk includes an upgraded experience with JRide® Plus. Upgraded features include Koni® FSD shocks and a heavy-duty rear stabilizer bar. The Greyhawk also includes automatic hydraulic leveling, making it easy to park and stabilize your home base.
This Class C RV with bunk beds also includes more optional upgrades, including adding a bedroom TV or an extra air conditioner for added comfort. So, if you have the budget, the Greyhawk might just be the luxury Class C experience you want.
Thor Freedom Elite 31FE
Specs
- Length: 32’8”
- GVWR: 14,500 pounds
- Chassis: Ford® E-Series
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 7
Favorite Feature: 800-Pound Cabover Bunk Capacity
Load your RV with people, gear, or both with the Freedom Elite 31FE. The 800-pound cabover bunk capacity can handle whatever you throw at it. The front cap of this Class C RV with bunk beds is solid fiberglass, an upgrade from some of the other campers on this list.
This family motorhome also features many hidden gems, like pop-outlets in the kitchen and a wireless phone charging pad on the dinette tabletop. Functional and aesthetic? Yes, please, and I’ll take 10 for my own home. Other family-friendly features include dual bathroom entrances and a living area TV that can be seen from the dream dinette, jackknife sofa, or cabover bunk.
Forest River Forester LE 3251DSLE
Specs
- Length: 32’3”
- GVWR: 14,500 pounds
- Chassis: Ford® E-450
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 10
Favorite Feature: Dedicated Kids’ Zone
With the highest sleeping capacity and a dedicated kids’ zone, the Forester LE 3251DSLE is an attractive family camper with bunk beds. This motorhome’s unique kid zone makes it stand out. That zone features a fold-down bunk, a sleeper sofa, and a TV with room for a DVD player or gaming console in the cabinet below.
The Forester uses two shorter slides on each side to maximize the interior space. The kitchen’s L-shaped layout gives a bit more counterspace than the angled corner kitchen in some of our other listed campers. Plus, you’ll love cooking on the recessed three-burner range with a flush glass cover.
The only downside is the single bathroom entrance. If that matters to you, this might not be your ideal RV with bunk beds. But if that added privacy doesn’t rank highly on your list of camper priorities, there’s plenty to love about this bunk bed Class C RV.
Winnebago Minnie Winnie 31H
Specs
- Length: 32’9”
- GVWR: 14,500 pounds
- Chassis: Ford® E-450
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 8
Favorite Feature: Most Exterior Storage
Like the Forester, the Minnie Winnie 31H uses two smaller opposing slides to create an expansive interior feel. It’s a great model for families with younger kids, as the bunk beds are located close to the primary 60” x 75” RV queen bed.
Where the Minnie Winnie gains an edge is in exterior storage. Most of the campers on this list have around 55 cubic feet for the outside gear locker. The Minnie Winnie has an extra 30 cubic feet. That’s nearly 1.5 times the storage room to load everything you need for the best adventure.
We also love that this motorhome features a U-shaped dinette and a full sofa bed, increasing the sleeping capacity to eight people comfortably. Another bonus? This Winnebago camper comes with a full-size shower!
Thor Four Winds 31EV
Specs
- Length: 32’8”
- GVWR: 14,500 pounds
- Chassis: Ford® E-Series
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 7
Favorite Feature: Dual Entry Bathroom
The dual-entry bathroom on the Four Winds 31EV makes travel days easier. With the super slide closed, you won’t have to find the next rest stop because you can easily access your own clean, private bathroom. A privacy door between the primary sleeping area and the bunk beds also allows the kids or guests to enjoy bathroom access without disturbing those sleeping in the back.
The 52” x 96” cabover bunk area includes cupholders, which is great for those of us who always have a water bottle (or 3 if you are like me) by our side. There are also side windows and a roof vent to provide extra ventilation for that sleeping area.
We also love that this Class C RV with bunk beds comes with some interior customizations. Choose from two interior cabinet options: weathered cherry for a cozy feel or California white for a bright, open aesthetic. I’m team cozy!
Winnebago Spirit 31H
Specs
- Length: 32’9”
- GVWR: 14,500 pounds
- Chassis: Ford® E-450
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 8
Favorite Feature: Spacious Shower
The Spirit 31H might look similar to the Minnie Winnie, and that’s because they are. Winnebago’s legacy Itasca brand lives on in the Spirit models. If you love the features listed in the Minnie Winnie, like the 85 cubic feet of exterior storage and a large shower, the Spirit 31H is another great option to check out.
Like the Minnie Winnie, large families will enjoy the multitude of sleeping areas in the Spirit camper. The bunk beds share a room with the primary bedroom, but older kids and/or guests can choose from the convertible 45” x 74” U-shaped dinette, 40” x 70” pull-out sofa bed, or 57” x 95” cabover bunk.
We recommend this motorhome for those who love nostalgia and want to carry on the Spirit of Itasca. But we think those who are new to Winnebago motorhomes will also love the simplicity and versatility of this Class C camper with bunks.
Thor Quantum LF31
Specs
- Length: 32’8”
- GVWR: 14,500 pounds
- Chassis: Ford® E-Series
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 7
Favorite Feature: Automatic Leveling Jacks with Touchpad Controls
Getting to your campsite and leveling your RV can be a pain, especially if you’ve been driving long distances or winding roads. The Quantum LF31’s automatic leveling jacks with touchpad controls make setting up camp easy so you can focus on relaxing.
Once set up, you can extend your powered patio awning and relax or crawl into the cabover bunk and gaze out of the skylight. The next morning, you’ll be ready to pull your gear out of the exterior mega-storage compartment and explore.
Like the other Thor motorhomes listed above, families will also enjoy the separate bathroom entrances, a skylight above the cabover bunk, and a comfortable jackknife sofa across from the TV. Plus, the central kitchen makes it easy to make delicious camping meals and eat inside or pass food out to your camping patio.
Do Any Class C Motorhomes Have a King Size Bed?
With the shorter size of many Class C RVs, king beds can be harder to find. If you are looking for a model with a king bed out of the box, we recommend checking out the Thor Four Winds 25V, which has a twin bed to king conversion!
When it’s time to hit the road with a group, Class C RVs with bunk beds are a great way to travel while giving everyone a comfortable resting spot. Check out these other articles to learn more about Class C RVs.
