Bunkhouse fifth wheel RVs are some of the best RVs for families. When you camp with kids and other family members, you need plenty of places for people to sleep. In those cases, fifth wheel bunkhouse floor plans are the way to go.

When looking at RV models, the abbreviation “BH” typically stands for “bunkhouse.”

However, you’ll find 5th wheels with bunks with BL, BR, MB, and other abbreviations in the model code. So that gets tricky, right? Not to fret: we’ve compiled our favorite 5th wheel bunkhouse RVs from top manufacturers below.

Key Takeaways

  • Bunkhouse fifth wheels are ideal for families, offering spacious sleeping arrangements with various layouts and features to accommodate different needs.
  • Keystone, Jayco, and Forest River lead the market, providing models with unique designs, including private bunk rooms, lofted bunks, and convertible living areas.
  • Key benefits include stability while towing, residential-style comfort, and enhanced storage, making them a popular choice for extended camping trips.

Specs

  • Length: 32’3”
  • Dry Weight: 7,646 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 1,854 pounds
  • Hitch Weight: 1,390 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 10

Keystone’s Cougar Sport family fifth wheel is a lightweight, affordable bunkhouse fifth wheel with many choice features. The rear bunk room sleeps up to six, and the parents retain the privacy of the front bedroom with its queen-sized bed. 

With a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 9,500 pounds, most full-size trucks can tow this fifth wheel. Plus, the bottom-most bunk seamlessly converts to a storage area with the exterior cargo access door.  

With Keystone exclusives like HyperDeck flooring, Tru-Fit slide construction, and in-floor heating ducts with Tuf-Lok™ thermoplastic duct joiners, the Cougar Sport 2700BH is built to last. Families will love the convertible, U-shaped dinette in the main living area for meal times. Plus, a tri-fold sleeper sofa provides more seating and expands the total sleeping capacity to 10.

Did we mention it’s one of the lightest and most affordable fifth wheels on the market?

Montana High Country 389BH

Specs

  • Length: 40’5”
  • Dry Weight: 13,968 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 2,557 pounds
  • Hitch Weight: 2,525 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 8

With a gross vehicle weight rating of over 16,000 pounds, the Montana High Country 389BH is one of the largest 5th wheel bunkhouse floor plans on our list. It’s a can’t-miss layout for those with a heavy-duty truck, featuring dual-opposing slides in the living area and additional slides in the front bedroom and rear bunk room. 

In the bunkhouse, the 389BH offers a unique design with a hide-a-bed sofa, a lower bunk, and two L-shaped upper bunks. That brings the bunk room’s sleeping capacity to five, leaving room for plenty of pull-out storage drawers, cubbies, and a hanging wardrobe.

The primary bedroom boasts a standard king bed in a slide-out, but Keystone improved the layout by extending the slide-out length. That allows them to add a larger nightstand and a deeper bathroom wardrobe that includes washer & dryer prep, leaving the entire front cap for an impressive dresser and dual wardrobes. 

Did we mention the extra half bath and a private entrance for the rear bunk room?

Cougar Hero Edition 364BHL

Specs

  • Length: 39’
  • Dry Weight: 11,718 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 2,282 pounds
  • Hitch Weight: 2,380 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 10

The Keystone Cougar Hero Edition 364BHL bunkhouse fifth wheel offers one of the most unique exterior finishes on any 2025 RV. The Hero Edition package features full-body paint with a matte finish, frameless windows, a glass entry door, blackout rims, and green exterior LED lighting. 

Sure, it turns heads when you enter a campground. But there’s plenty to love inside this 5th wheel camper with a bunkhouse. The private rear bunk room features two 54” x 74” beds, a spacious wardrobe, and a dedicated bathroom with a dedicated entry door. 

The primary sleeping area at the front of this bunkhouse floor plan boasts a 60” x 80” queen bed with two separate entrances to the forward bathroom. The main living area features a tri-fold sleeper sofa and a booth dinette, but you can replace the former with theater seating and the latter with a freestanding dinette if you choose.

On the exterior, you can cook bigger camping meals utilizing the outdoor kitchen with a camp griddle. There’s also an accessible mini fridge in an exterior compartment for easy access to your favorite camping beverages.

Don’t miss out on the limited-edition fully-body painted RV, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior Project®!

Comparisons

  • Cougar 360MBI – a mid-bunk floor plan with a loft.
  • Arcadia Select 27SBH – a lightweight, affordable 5th wheel with triple bunks.
  • Montana 3857BR – a luxury 5th wheel with a bonus room that has a flip-up bunk and a hide-a-bed sofa.

Jayco Fifth Wheel Bunkhouse Floor Plans

Discover our picks for the top Jayco bunkhouse 5th wheels.

Eagle SLE 28BHU

Specs

  • Length: 34’8”
  • Dry Weight: 8,420 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 1,575 pounds
  • Hitch Weight: 1,585 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 8

Jayco’s Eagle SEL fifth wheels offer luxury features in lightweight floor plans that are easier to tow with full-size trucks. The Eagle SLE 28BHU is arguably our favorite Jayco 5th wheel bunkhouse floor plan for several reasons—rear double bunks, an open concept living area, and a comfortable front bedroom. 

With a GVWR under 10,000 pounds, lightweight towing is also one of the Eagle 5th wheel’s best features, especially compared to the other models on this list. In fact, this Jayco bunkhouse 5th wheel and the Cougar Sport bunkhouse are the only floor plans here with GVWRs under 10,000. 

Beyond towability, the Eagle SLE excels with convenient design features like steps for easier access to the rear bunks, an upgraded shower tower for bathroom luxury, and Climate Shield weather protection for safer, easier extended-season camping. 

Don’t forget the impressive underneath storage capacity for a 5th wheel under 35 feet!

Eagle 355MBQS

Specs

  • Length: 42’4”
  • Dry Weight: 12,830 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 2,370 pounds
  • Hitch Weight: 2,420 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 10

Redesigned for 2025, this 5th wheel Jayco bunkhouse features a central bonus room with a bunk loft above it. The Eagle 355MBQS is the perfect layout for maximum 5th wheel versatility. The bonus room features a hide-a-bed sofa for comfortable sleeping but also includes a desk with TV prep, making it easy to convert to your remote office or RV gaming room. 

Above it, the bunk loft is the ideal central living space for kids, as it overlooks the main living area. Depending on your sleeping preferences, the 64” x 76” loft can be equipped with multiple bunk mats or a single larger RV mattress. 

Because it’s one of the largest fifth wheel RVs on our list, this Jayco Eagle offers a primary king bed front suite and a living room with dual-opposing slideouts and a huge central kitchen island. Theater seats offer the perfect viewing angle across from the entertainment center, but you also get a tri-fold sofa that converts to an extra bed when hosting guests. 

Did we mention Jayco’s patented JayPort exterior kitchen setup, which features an LP quick connect and hot and cold water connections?

Eagle HT 29DDB

Specs

  • Length: 34’8”
  • Dry Weight: 8,995 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 1,755 pounds
  • Hitch Weight: 1,770 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 10

With a GVWR of 10,750 pounds, the Eagle HT 29DDB is slightly heavier than the Cougar Sport and Eagle SLE models above. However, it’s another excellent lightweight 5th wheel for those with properly trimmed full-size trucks. At nearly 35 feet, there’s ample room to sleep up to 10 in this half-ton towable Jayco fifth wheel bunkhouse RV. 

At first glance, the single slide-out floor plan is unique for a fifth wheel of this size. It houses the U-shaped dinette and 12V refrigerator, but having a single slide means less maintenance over the life of your camper. However, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t offer ample living space and luxury features like washer-dryer prep in the primary bedroom. 

The rear bunk room offers the same dual double bunk layout as the Eagle SLE, complete with a wardrobe, headboard storage, and steps for easier bunk access. The raised floor in the rear bunk room allowed Jayco to equip the rear of the camp side with their JayPort outdoor kitchen instead of the expanded underneath storage in the SLE. 

And did you notice the massive kitchen counters that make this RV ideal for camp chefs?

Comparisons

  • Eagle HT 31QCD – a rear bunk room floor plan with triple bunks, a convertible sofa, and a cargo loading door.
  • Eagle HT 31MBT – a bonus room floor plan that doubles as a bunkhouse and an extra entertainment center.

Forest River 5th Wheel Bunkhouse Floor Plans

With leading brands like Sabre, Arctic Wolf, and Salem Hemisphere, these are some of the top-rated bunkhouse 5th wheels by Forest River.

Sabre 38DBL

Specs

  • Length: 43’1”
  • Dry Weight: 12,848 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 2,800 pounds
  • Hitch Weight: 2,140 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 9

It’s rare to find a 5th wheel bunkhouse with a private bunk room and a loft, but that’s exactly what you’ll find in the Sabre 38DBL. It features one of the most impressive rear bunk room layouts on our list, complete with a tri-fold sofa and a flip-up bunk in the slide-out, two additional bunks with cabinet storage in the loft area, an entertainment center, and a full rear bathroom with a private entrance. 

Yes, that second full bathroom also makes this Forest River 5th wheel bunkhouse a rare RV with two bathrooms—not just a bath and a half. That keeps the primary bathroom private for you and your camping partner, allowing you (and you alone!) to enjoy its luxury features, like a spacious shower with a seat. 

Like most of the best bunkhouse fifth wheel RVs, dual-opposing slide-outs greatly expand the living area, making room for a residential kitchen with a central island, 4-burner cooktop, oversized refrigerator, and dedicated breakfast or coffee hutch.

We almost forgot to mention the separate washer and dryer prep closets, making this a 5th wheel for separate units instead of the traditional stackable combos!

Arctic Wolf 3650SUITE

Specs

  • Length: 43’5”
  • Dry Weight: 11,383 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 2,762
  • Hitch Weight: 2,145 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 9

Forest River manufactures some of the largest fifth wheel RVs with bunkhouse floor plans, and the Arctic Wolf 3650SUITE is among their best layouts. Identified by its ‘SUITE’ model code, this 5th wheel floor plan features a truly luxurious king bed suite with private access to the bathroom. The bedroom also features a versatile sun bench/reading nook, an electric fireplace, and dual wardrobe closets—one of which is prepped for a stackable washer and dryer.

The bonus bunk room is also unique. It’s centrally located with a jackknife sofa and a flip-up bunk in the slide-out. To increase its sleeping capacity, Forest River added a trundle bed under the sofa and a second lofted bunk area, allowing you to sleep up to five comfortably in the bonus room alone. But when it’s not a sleeping area, there’s a convenient desk for your RV office.

Forest River’s Elemental Protection Package also stands out with features like a high-efficiency ducted furnace, an armored and enclosed underbelly with forced air heating, and Thermo-Control reflective safety glass windows. 

Don’t forget the best-selling rear living area with theater seating, a hidden pantry, and a tri-fold sleeper sofa!

Sierra 3550BH

Specs

  • Length: 43’6”
  • Dry Weight: 12,044 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 3,456 pounds
  • Hitch Weight: 2,380 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 9

With the ability to load in nearly 3,500 pounds of RV essentials and camping gear, the Sierra 3550BH offers the highest cargo capacity of any bunkhouse 5th wheel on our list. That said, it does boast a GVWR of 15,500 pounds, likely requiring a heavy-duty truck for safe towing.

Your cargo will be distributed throughout, with a dedicated pantry, a massive pass through compartment, abundant cabinet storage, and a truly luxurious closet in the primary bedroom that spans the RV’s entire width. There’s even a 2” accessory hitch for attaching a bike rack or cargo carrier to the exterior. 

However, this bunkhouse is where you’ll find something quite different from the others on this list. Instead of traditional stacked bunks, the Sierra boasts a 60” x 74” queen bed on the ground floor with a ladder up to the 54” x 74” loft bed above. That’s ample comfortable sleeping space for a small family while you still get a king bed in the primary bedroom. Plus, there’s a tri-fold sleeper sofa and a convertible dinette in the living area.

Did we mention safety upgrades like anti-lock brakes and a tire pressure monitoring system?

Other Top 5th Wheel Bunkhouse Floor Plans

Here are some of our favorite used bunkhouse fifth wheels:

Prime Time Crusader 382MBH

Specs

  • Length: 43’5”
  • Dry Weight: 13,106 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 3,192 pounds
  • Hitch Weight: 2,298 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 10

The Prime Time Crusader 382MBH ranks second on our list in cargo carrying capacity, but it takes the top spot as our list’s 5th wheel bunkhouse with the highest GVWR at 16,298 pounds. This large-and-in-charge luxury 5th wheel boasts a central bunk room with a “Sleep & Play” lower sofa and an upper bunk. 

That upper bunk is mounted on a HappiJac bed lift system that makes it easy to raise and lower, similar to the garage beds you’ll find in the best toy haulers. An additional bunk loft above the bonus room provides more sleeping space or room for camping gear between destinations.

The rest of the layout features the most popular fifth wheel rear living floor plan, which includes theater seating, a kitchen island, an 80” convertible sleeper sofa, and a freestanding dinette. The primary suite has a king bed, a sizeable wardrobe, and a secondary closet with washer and dryer prep. 

Don’t miss the one-touch automatic leveling system, providing easy setup once you reach your destination! 

KZ RV Durango HT 286BHD

Specs

  • Length: 35’5”
  • Dry Weight: 9,080 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 1,920 pounds
  • Hitch Weight: 1,500 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 8

With a layout similar to the Jayco Eagle 5th wheel bunkhouse floor plans, the Durango HT 286BHD from KZ RV offers a smaller layout for easier towing. That said, there’s ample sleeping space for a large family, along with a spacious central living area. 

Double queen bunks highlight the rear bunk room, featuring a wardrobe closet and steps for easier top bunk access—no climbing a ladder. The raised bunk platform provides space for an outdoor kitchen and a trunk door for easier cargo loading from the outside. 

The living area slide-out houses a U-shaped dinette and a hide-a-bed sofa across from the well-apportioned RV kitchen. The primary bedroom boasts a queen bed and another wardrobe slide, which nicely complements the closet with washer and dryer prep at the foot of the bed. 

Did we mention that this 5th wheel bunkhouse has dual exterior awnings for the ultimate RV patio comfort?

Cruiser RV Essence 28DB

Specs

  • Length: 32’10”
  • Dry Weight: 8,746 pounds
  • Cargo Capacity: 2,201 pounds
  • Hitch Weight: 1,571 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 6

With a GVWR of just under 11,000 pounds, the Essence 28DB offers another lightweight 5th wheel to rival the Cougar Sport and Eagle HT above. It offers a floor plan similar to those two small fifth wheels—a rear bunk room, a central kitchen and living area, and a private front bedroom. 

However, this Cruiser RV boasts a slightly higher cargo capacity than those Jayco and Cougar fifth wheel bunkhouse RVs. It also has a traditional booth dinette for those who favor that style over the U-shaped design. The living area also includes a tri-fold sleeper sofa similar to the Cougar, with the dinette and sofa offering viewing angles to the TV. 

An extended countertop below the TV offers a space for a breakfast nook or coffee station, but there’s ample counterspace throughout the L-shaped kitchen. In the primary bedroom, a queen bed is set centrally with dual wardrobes, a decorative headboard, reading lights, and a closet prepped for a washer-dryer combo at the foot of the bed. 

Don’t miss the massive 4-door fridge and stainless steel sink with a glass rinser in the kitchen!

Why Buy a Fifth Wheel?

Fifth wheels are great because they offer stability when towing, making them slightly smoother to maneuver than towable travel trailers. Furthermore, fifth wheel owners can leave the camper behind to explore nearby areas. You don’t need to lug your home everywhere like with a motorhome.

Fifth wheels are the most residential-feeling of all travel trailers, largely due to their size and interior height. It takes a well-equipped truck to haul a fifth wheel, but many find the upgraded tow vehicle worth it for the more luxurious and spacious camping experience.

There are plenty of new and used fifth wheel RVs out there. Used models typically have the advantage of a lower price tag and make a great option if still in excellent condition.
