Used bunkhouse

[norfla71]

Our fiver is fairly rare in my area, and may be able to get out cleanly; the replacement will be a TT BH, of which our choices are endless. We're not brand specific, and understand that TT are not (usually) built to high quality standards, comparatively speaking. With that understanding, we did have a 27FB StarCraft, and liked the size, but not the layout (bed too close to entry wall and no slide). Using that as a starting point, 30' is about right, along with the slide, we would also like good exterior storage. One final requirement deals with our health issues; we need the lowest possible entry height. Otherwise, we're not overly complicated, not requiring most of the lux features found in a lot of new rigs. And we plan on seasonal camping, following the warmth.

Cost is a final factor, as this will be traded out (once the kids leave the nest) for something motorized.

Our Keystone Bullet 282BHS is a front bed, rear bunk layout with a single slide and low (2 step) entry. Has a sizeable outside storage compartment at rear under one of the bunks and a pass through storage up front. Ours has been great for our family for the past 5 years! We're actually just getting started listing it for sale (starting a business and need all the cash we can muster), but we're likely on the wrong end of the country for you. In any case, it's a model that might be worth checking out if there are any near you.

If lower entry height is important, please make sure the entry door is very close to the axles. Many campsites are not level front-to-back and entry doors at the very back of the TT can require you to bring an additional step with you for those times.

Lower means more dragging the rear end leaving/entering parking lots and such. My parents had a trailer with two steps once and it was a constant issue. One time even drug the sewer pipe off. Think hard about that requirement of being lower at all possible

All of the Lance trailers are 2 step deals. Very easy to get in and out of. And they do make a BH model, the 2185.

The biggest challenge of your requirements seems to be the entry height. From walking around an RV show recently it seems the trailers just keep getting higher off the ground. Maybe someone else knows of a brand that ridges lower.

As for floor plans and whatnot I've found the best way to get educated is to just check out the manufacturer's websites. The "big 3" I always thing of are Jayco, Keystone and Forest River (each with many sub-brands). Find a model # you like then enter it into RV Trader or just in to Google to find dealers and prices.
