Bunk room travel trailers offer comfortable sleeping space for large families, and many include residential amenities that make it easy to prepare meals and relax after adventurous days. So if you imagine traveling the country with your family, skipping expensive hotel rooms, and enjoying the best RV campgrounds, a travel trailer with a bunk room might be your family’s dream RV!

If you’ve never heard of a travel trailer with a separate bunk room, you’re in the right place. Let’s learn more about this RV type and explore 10 of our favorite travel trailer floor plans with a bunk room! 

What Is a Travel Trailer with a Bunk Room?

A travel trailer with a bunk room is a towable RV that offers enhanced sleeping arrangements, especially for families. While there are many travel trailers with bunk beds, those with dedicated bunk rooms stand out for their added privacy. Travel trailer bunk rooms are fully enclosed with a door, much like a private bedroom. Inside, you’ll almost always find sleeping space. But many bunk rooms include storage, a work desk, convertible sofas, and even small dinettes, making them extremely versatile for kids or guests. 

The travel trailers below feature rear bunk room floor plans, providing optimal separation between the primary bedroom and the bunk area. If you’re searching for a bunk room at the center or front of the layout, you’ll likely need to explore mid bunk fifth wheels or front bunkhouse 5th wheels.

Varying in length, weight, and sleeping capacity, the best travel trailers with a bunk room offer options for everyone.

Specs

  • Length: 38’5.25″
  • Dry Weight: 8,824 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 2,446 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 8

This Heartland Eddie Bauer travel trailer offers a spacious bunk room with extra sleeping quarters and a sofa. So, visitors or kids can hang out in their own space while the others can enjoy the main living room without interruption! The Eddie Bauer design is also a great feature of this camper, giving it a unique and homey feel.

At the front of the floor plan, the primary sleeping area includes a campside slide-out that gives you more room in your private suite. That also gives this bunk room travel trailer space for a dresser at the foot of the bed and two closets, one of which includes washer and dryer prep.

Specs

  • Length: 35’7″
  • Dry Weight: 6,775 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 1,875 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 10

Another travel trailer with a rear bunk room, the Jay Flight 294QBS, includes two overhead bunks plus a convertible sofa that transforms into a queen bed. The bunk room also has its own cargo door, making it easier to load luggage or camping gear. 

In addition to the bunk room, the camper includes a jackknife sofa and convertible U-shaped dinette in the family room, along with the queen mattress in the primary bedroom. Outside, this bunk room camper is built with a heated and enclosed underbelly to handle cooler nights camping in early spring or late fall.

Forest River Salem 29VBUD

Specs

  • Length: 36’2″
  • Dry Weight: 7,728 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 1,982 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 8

The Salem 29VBUD has a nice overall layout, including a fireplace in the living area, a Versa-Tilt king in the primary suite, and a private bunk room. The bunk room sleeps up to four, with a Versa queen sofa bed and two overhead bunks. The overhead bunks both flip up, allowing for more space during waking hours. There’s also a utility-side cargo door for easy loading and unloading.

The main living room has a unique Versa-Lounge, which converts between a longer sofa or more dinette seating, all surrounded by panoramic windows. That provides plenty of comfortable seating for meals, game nights, or enjoying your favorite shows on this camper’s entertainment system above the electric fireplace.

Keystone Springdale Classic Double 291BRC

Specs

  • Length: 33’11’’
  • Dry Weight: 6,880 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 2,800 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 10

The bunk room in the Springdale 291BRC sleeps four and includes a wardrobe and dresser, giving the extra guests plenty of storage space. Dedicated closets for kid’s clothing are often lacking in RVs, even in many travel trailers with bunks, but not in this Keystone camper. 

The primary bedroom has two side wardrobes and under bed storage, giving each bedroom considerable space for your personal belongings. Another great feature is the air fryer/microwave combo in the kitchen! It’s exciting to see more campers include air fryers rather than a traditional oven. 

Heartland Eddie Bauer 324BH

Another Heartland Eddie Bauer edition, with its classy design, makes the list! With its unique decor and private bunk room, everyone will feel at home in the Eddie Bauer 324BH. The U-shaped dining table is a nice feature, perfect for a family meal or gaming night. 

While the entire travel trailer has ample storage, the bunk room may surprise you with its amount of shelving and drawer storage. The entire space below the stationary bunk offers storage and prep for an entertainment system, making it so much easier for kids or guests to get organized and stay occupied while parents cook or lounge in the main living area.

  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 12

This Jay Flight 331BTS travel trailer is built to accommodate extended family and friends. The bunk room has one of the largest sleeping capacities in this class, but you get more than just beds with the entertainment center and dinette in this bunk room travel trailer. 

The kitchen includes a spacious central island within the main living space, a fairly rare feature in a travel trailer. You will enjoy the extra countertop and cabinet space. Plus, the farmhouse-style interior decor rounds this camper out for a right-at-home feel.

Specs

The lightest travel trailer on this list, the Salem Cruise Lite 273QBXL, still has plenty of room for larger families or hosting guests. It also includes many other useful amenities, such as a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, an oversized 11 cubic-foot refrigerator, and an extremely versatile bunk room. 

The bunk room boasts a Jiffy sofa, a fold-up bunk, and one stationary bunk. My favorite feature of the primary bedroom is the built-in laundry basket in the nightstand! The queen bed is also a Versa-Tilt, which is a useful space-saving feature that provides more floor space for comfortably getting ready in the morning—a notable factor if you’re hosting guests in the bunk room.

Moving up in the camper, the bathroom features a corner shower and dual entry from the primary bedroom and hallway. Another amenity every RVer will love is theater seating with heat and massage IPO tri-fold sofa! The outdoor amenities include a shower and a well-appointed external kitchen with a propane griddle and mini fridge.

Heartland Mallard M33

Across the floor plan is the entertainment center with dual wardrobes below a second larger bunk. 

The kitchen has residential-style appliances, including a 10 cubic foot10-cubic-foot refrigerator and a high-rise faucet.

It provides work or fun space for the kids, separate from the main living space. 

The 280QBS also has plenty of other features to enjoy, like the farmhouse kitchen sink, fireplace, entertainment center, under-bed shoe storage, and outdoor kitchen. This bunk room travel trailer also offers abundant underneath storage, with a pass through compartment at the front and an additional cargo area at the rear.

What Campers Have 4 Bunks?

Passport 282QB
Passport 282QB

The majority of campers with bunk rooms sleep four people. This can vary between four single bunks, two single bunks, and a queen, and two to three bunks with a convertible sofa or dinette. Families of six may find campers with the four single, permanent bunks the most convenient for avoiding daily setup and breakdown. Two examples include the Bullet Crossfire 2870QB or the Passport 282QB

Is There a Camper That Sleeps 10 or More People?

The Jay Flight 3301BTS sleeps 12 people, which is impressive for a travel trailer under 40 feet. Plenty of other campers also accommodate 10 or more, including several in this article:

What Size Sheets for Trailer Bunks?

The correct sheet size for travel trailer bunks depends on the size of the bunks themselves. Regular queen sheets work for the few bunk rooms with lower queen beds. Most bunk room twin-sized mattresses use twin sheets, but the fitted sheet may not fit the height of the mattress.

Personally, we use two top sheets on our bunk mattresses, which we find easier to tuck under. Looking for another option? There are numerous replacement bunk mattresses with a more standard height. This is a great option for lower bunks with plenty of head space.
