About Contributor

Our family hit the road in September 2021. We spend more time traveling than we do in NC, and because of that, we’ve visited 28 states and 19 of the 63 national parks so far. We love roadschooling, meeting new people, trying new foods, and embracing our beautiful country on this adventure!

Have you been considering a fifth wheel with a loft? Perhaps you want the added storage. Or maybe you need private sleeping spaces for everyone in your family. Whatever your reasoning, fifth wheels with lofts offer versatility and spacious interiors for comfortable camping. Let’s see if this is the ideal RV type and floor plan for you!

8 Intriguing Fifth Wheels with Lofts

We’ve chosen eight 5th wheel camper floor plans that feature loft spaces. Some are in the rear, while others are in the middle of the camper. Each 5th wheel offers unique features and designs, so let’s dive into our list of fifth wheels with a loft!

Specs

  • Length: 42’5”
  • Dry Weight: 14,364 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 2,341 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 10

The Montana High Country 381TB features a loft and a second bedroom. This layout is perfect for families with older children or friends camping together. The rear bedroom has a queen bed, a full bathroom, and a second rear entry door. It offers excellent privacy, with a ladder just outside the bedroom door leading to the loft!

The opposing slides provide a spacious central living area. There’s a kitchen island, a hutch, theater seating, a freestanding dinette, an entertainment center with an electric fireplace, and a residential fridge with an ice maker. You have everything you need for a comfortable weekend trip or full-time RV living.

The stairs lead to the main bathroom, which has a large shower with a seat and a linen closet. The main bedroom has a king bed, a dresser, and a wardrobe along the entire front cap that includes connections for a washer and dryer.

Specs

  • Length: 43’6”
  • Dry Weight: 11,589 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 2,551 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 10

A front-living fifth wheel AND a loft? This Wildwood Heritage Glen 378FL features a unique layout with two opposing slides in the living area, each with a tri-fold sofa. This creates a huge space for entertaining and additional sleeping spots when the festivities wind down. In the rear of this fifth wheel is the primary bedroom, which includes a king bed in a slide-out, a closet, a dresser, and washer and dryer connections.

Above the rear bedroom is the loft with two bunk mats and some storage cubbies. This design is possible because of the drop frame, allowing parents to have headroom in the bedroom and leaving enough room for a loft.

While this floor plan may not be preferable for families who prefer the kids to sleep farther away, it’s a nice setup for creating privacy when hanging out with friends. The sleeping spaces are on the other end of the living room. Thus, the kids can go to bed earlier than the adults and have a quiet place to sleep in the rear of the camper.

The kitchen has a central island, a 16-cubic-foot 12V refrigerator, a pantry, and a hutch with overhead storage. The freestanding table is the best dining location for up to four people. There’s a great flow between the kitchen and living room, and the excellent floor plan gives you all the living area on one end of the camper.

Specs

  • Length: 39’
  • Dry Weight: 11,625 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 2,375 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 10

Another Keystone RV with a second bedroom and a loft is the Cougar 364BHL. The Cougar is more affordable than the Montana High Country, but it boasts fewer luxury amenities in a smaller RV. But at 39 feet long, the 364BHL still has plenty to offer!

Like the High Country, the Cougar 364BHL has a second rear bedroom with a queen bed and loft, but the bathroom isn’t along the rear wall of the camper. Instead, it’s a corner half bath. This allowed Keystone to design an outdoor kitchen, a great feature to keep your RV cool during the summer months.

The living area features a tri-fold sofa and booth dinette in a slide-out, an entertainment center with a fireplace, a kitchen island with ample counterspace, a 16-cubic-foot refrigerator, and a huge pantry closet.

Finally, the front of the fifth wheel has a queen bed, a slide-out with a wardrobe and closet, and a second doorway into the bathroom. The dual entries in the bathroom provide easy access from either the main bedroom or the hallway, but they do remove a wall that could be utilized as a closet.

Jayco North Point 377RLBH

Specs

  • Length: 42’11”
  • Dry Weight: 15,310 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 2,790 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 7

If you like the mid bunk 5th wheel floor plan, check out the North Point 377RLBH. It features a central bonus room with a tri-fold sofa, flip-up bunk, removable table, closet, and desk. This is a great setup for homeschooling or working remotely. The loft above the bonus room can easily sleep two kids, but could also be used for additional storage. 

This 5th wheel’s spacious rear living area has a tri-fold sofa, theater seating, an entertainment center with a fireplace, a kitchen island, a roll-top dinette with seating for four, a residential fridge, and a huge pantry closet. The opposing slides create substantial lounging space for a large family or a couple who enjoys entertaining guests.

The front bedroom has a king bed in a slide-out, a dresser, and a wardrobe along the front cap. There are also washer and dryer connections. If you like the versatility of a bonus room, this fifth wheel with a loft is an excellent option!

Forest River Cedar Creek Cottage 41FWC

Specs

  • Length: 42’6”
  • Dry Weight: 14,314 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 6,506 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 10 

The Cedar Creek Cottage 41FWC is one of the largest fifth wheels on this list, and it doesn’t feature a rear kitchen floor plan like many of the others. This fifth wheel with a loft features a massive central kitchen with bar stool seating along the campside at a panoramic window. There’s no island, so the space feels huge. Instead, you get an L-shaped kitchen layout that makes this 5th wheel more comfortable for RVing with kids or pets.

In addition, the loft areas are unique. One loft is above the rear living space and has two bunk mats. The other is above the mid-bathroom. These lofts provide additional sleeping areas for kids even though they don’t have a designated room.

The Cedar Creek Cottage 41FWC also has a large sectional sofa with a trundle for even more sleeping space should you have guests or a larger family. The front bedroom features a king bed and abundant storage. And did you see the cargo carrying capacity of this RV? If you’re looking for a destination fifth wheel, this RV has to be at the top of the list.

Forest River Sierra 4002FB

Specs

  • Length: 43’5”
  • Dry Weight: 12,889 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 2,611 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 10

The Sierra 4002FB features two bedrooms with queen beds and ample wardrobe storage. The loft sits above the rear bedroom, providing additional sleeping space or storage. The front bedroom has a massive walk-in closet and a second closet with washer and dryer hookups—both major perks for full-time RV families.

This fifth wheel with a loft has two full bathrooms as well. The rear bathroom has a second entrance, which is ideal for privacy, quick bathroom trips without tracking mud inside, or sneaking out for early morning walks. The midship bathroom is shared with guests.

Finally, the living space has two opposing slides, making room for a kitchen island. There is a freestanding dinette, theater seating, an entertainment center with a fireplace, a pantry, and a hutch with a desk. Again, for a traveling family, the Sierra 4002FB is ready for full-time use!

Forest River Sabre 38DBL

Specs

  • Length: 43’1”
  • Dry Weight: 12,378 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 2,062 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity:  Up to 10

If you like the rear bedroom layout but prefer more room for the kids, check out the Sabre 38DBL. Instead of a rear bedroom with a queen bed, this RV floor plan features a rear bunk room with a sofa, flip-up bunk, and entertainment center. The L-shaped loft offers sleeping for two kids. This fifth wheel also has a full bathroom with a second entrance, similar to some of the other RVs with lofts above.

In the living area, the huge L-shaped sectional sofa doubles as an eating area. This layout offers seating for a larger family, whether it’s for a movie night or mealtime. There’s a kitchen island, a hutch, a huge residential fridge, and an entertainment center with hidden storage behind it. Like the Sierra 4002FB, this fifth wheel with a loft is ready for full-time use.

Finally, the front bedroom has a camper king bed, a wardrobe, washer and dryer connections, and a dresser. Two awnings and an outdoor kitchen on the exterior provide a great space to enjoy the campsite.

Forest River Impression 44STAY

Specs

  • Length: 44’
  • Dry Weight: 13,829 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 3,786 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 6 

The Impression 44STAY is another great fifth wheel with a loft. What I love most about this floor plan is the opposing slides in the rear room. This offers a huge space for the family, which is why Forest River added a chaise lounge and theater seats. Older kids and teens will especially love this room because when the parents go to bed, this space can transform into their own.

Another key feature of the Impression 44STAY is the large kitchen island with bar seating for four. Along the campside wall is a triple-slide patio door, brightening the room with tons of natural light. The kitchen also has a half bath, which is great when friends visit.

The main bathroom features a double vanity and washer and dryer hookups. The front bedroom has a king bed, wardrobe, and dresser. While the Impression 44STAY doesn’t offer a separate room for the kids, it does provide plenty of room for a family to spread out and enjoy camping.

Can You Live Out of a Fifth Wheel?

Yes! There are great fifth wheel floor plans for full-time living. These 5th wheels feature residential appliances and spacious living areas to make you feel like you’re in a small apartment rather than an RV. There are also travel trailers, toy haulers, destination trailers, and motorhomes you can live in. Curious? Learn more about the best RVs for full-time living.

What Is The Life Expectancy of a Fifth Wheel?

The life expectancy of any RV varies based on maintenance and care, how often the RV is used, and how and where you travel. Owners have a huge influence over the life expectancy of their camper. Proper care goes a long way to prevent damage and problems. While you can have bad luck and general wear and tear, the better you care for your RV, the longer it will last.

If you travel full-time, you’ll put more wear and tear on the camper than someone who takes out their RV twice a year. Also, RVs in the south will generally last longer because they’re not taking a beating from snow, ice, and wind. Generally, you can expect a fifth wheel to last 10-15 years. But again, consider how you’ll use it, where you’ll travel, and if you can take on the upkeep and general maintenance an RV requires.


Fifth wheels with a loft offer a lot of versatility. If you’re a grandparent wanting to have an area for the grandkids to stay when they visit, these floor plans are great options. You can use the loft as storage when they’re not around. If you’re a traveling family needing separate spaces for multiple kids, these floor plans also provide privacy.
