Best Bunkhouse Travel Trailers Under 25 Feet
If you are looking for a small RV that is affordable and easy to tow, consider a bunkhouse travel trailer under 25 feet. These RVs may be small, but they have plenty of sleeping space for the whole family.
Winnebago Micro Minnie 1800BH
Length: 21 feet, 11 inches
The Micro Minnie 1800BH is the smallest bunkhouse travel trailer on our list. At just under 22 feet long and 7 feet wide, this trailer is tiny but has everything you need for a family camping trip. The single bunk beds are located on the driver-side rear corner of the RV.
The dinette can also be converted into another bed. A double bed is located in the front of the RV trailer. While many small travel trailer bunkhouses have a flip-up bed, this bed is permanent, so it does not require any effort to set up.
This mini trailer is also a fully self-contained vehicle. It has a 3-piece bathroom with a porcelain toilet beside the bunks. The galley kitchen has a fridge, a 3-burner cooktop, and a convection microwave.
Heartland Pioneer PI 17B
Length: 20 feet, 11 inches
The Heartland Pioneer PI 17B is another tiny, but functional bunkhouse travel trailer. Single bunk beds in the rear corner provide sleeping space for 2 kids. While, a queen-sized bed turned sideways in the front of the trailer provides a comfortable space for the parents.
The galley kitchen includes a refrigerator, a 2-burner cooktop, and a microwave oven. Next to the bunks is a bathroom with a bathtub, so small children can continue their bathing routine while camping.

Keystone Springdale 2010BH
Length: 22 feet, 9 inches
The Springdale 2010BH has a very similar layout to the Heartland Pioneer except it has double bunks in the rear corner of the RV, so it can sleep 4 kids.
Additional sleeping spaces include a convertible dinette booth and a fixed queen bed at the front of the trailer. At 8 feet wide, the trailer also has room for a closet, nightstand, and outlets beside the bed.
A 3-piece bathroom is located beside the bunks, and the kitchen includes a 2-burner cooktop, a fridge, and a microwave. A pantry beside the kitchen provides extra food and appliance storage.
Forest River Ibex 19MBH
Length: 24 feet, 8 inches
I own a Forest River Ibex travel trailer, and their 19MBH floorplan is a great small trailer for families with kids. This simple-to-use, no-slide model is equipped with double bunks in the back.
The bottom bunk folds up, and can be accessed from an outside door, creating a storage space for larger items. In the front of the trailer, a Murphy bed provides sleeping space for the adults.
Next to the bunks is a 3-piece bathroom. There is also a full kitchen and a booth dinette. This trailer is also ready to go off-grid. The mandatory XLT solar package includes a 200W panel, a 30A charge controller, and 2000-watt inverter prep.

Best Bunkhouse Travel Trailers Under 35 Feet
If your budget (or family) is a little larger, these bunkhouse travel trailers between 25 and 35 feet are the best bet. These medium-sized trailers have plenty of space and privacy without breaking the bank.
Ember Overland Series 221MSL
Length: 26 feet, 1 inch
If your family loves off-road adventures, Ember’s Overland Series travel trailers are amazing campers. These trailers include a heavy-duty chassis, an independent suspension with heavy-duty coil springs and dual shock absorbers, and off-road tires.

Coachman Apex Ultra-Lite 245BHS
Length: 27 feet, 7 inches
The Coachman Apex Ultra-Lite 245BHS is a great midsize bunkhouse travel trailer. At 7.5 feet wide and just 6,500 pounds, this travel trailer is easy to tow but has plenty of space.
The double bunks are located in the rear corner of the trailer. Unlike smaller bunkhouses, the Apex has a private main bedroom, separated from the living area by an entertainment center and two curtains.
A U-shaped dinette provides plenty of seating space, and the kitchen comes with a range with a 3-burner cooktop and an oven. The full bathroom has a shower/tub combo to make bathing kids and dogs easier.
Grand Design Imagine 2800BH
Length: 32 feet, 0 inches
Another awesome midsize travel trailer with bunk beds is the Grand Design Imagine 2800BH. The double bunks are located in the rear corner of the RV next to the full bathroom.
The main bedroom in the front of the trailer has a queen bed and a sliding door for complete privacy. There is plenty of seating in the spacious living area, which includes a U-shaped dinette and a tri-fold sofa.
The kitchen includes a range, a microwave, a refrigerator, and tons of storage space. Additional storage can be found under the bed. The oversized under-bed storage includes a sliding storage tray to provide easy access to regularly used items.
Keystone Cougar Half-Ton 30BHS
Length: 34 feet, 5 inches
We toured hundreds of RVs at this year’s Florida RV SuperShow, and the Keystone Cougar Half-Ton 30BHS was by far my favorite bunkhouse floorplan. The unique layout includes rear bunks that extend the width of the RV.
The position of the bunks creates a separate area for kids and makes the beds more accessible. In the front of the RV is a large, private bedroom with a king bed. The bathroom sits between the living area and the bedroom.
The main living area includes an L-shaped dinette, a tri-fold sofa, and a fireplace. The kitchen has a full range, a microwave, a double sink, a 12-volt fridge, and plenty of counter space. Arched rafters create a spacious interior with 7-foot ceilings.
Brinkley Model Z AIR 295
Length: 34 feet, 9 inches
At just under 35 feet, the AIR 295 has plenty of space for the whole family. The simple kid’s room in the rear of the trailer features two large bunks turned sideways so they fit the entire width of the room and floor-to-ceiling storage cabinets.
The front of the RV houses the main bedroom with a queen-sized bed. Outside the bedroom is the beautiful three-piece bathroom. A dual-access storage closet can be accessed from both the bathroom and bedroom.
The main living area includes a beautiful kitchen with black appliances and high-end residential furniture. A huge sofa takes up the entire living room slide and has three reclienrs built-in.

Heartland Trail Runner 31DB
Length: 36 feet, 11 inches
The second Heartland RV on our list of the best bunkhouse travel trailers is the Trail Runner 31DB. This big rig has much more space and many more exciting features than the tiny Pioneer.
The rear of the RV houses an entire kids’ suite. Inside the suite is a private bedroom with a single over double bunk bed, a shirt closet, and a half bathroom. In the front of the trailer is a main bedroom with a queen bed and a full bathroom.
In the main living area, there is a dinette booth and a large sofa. The corner kitchen features bright, white cabinets and stainless steel appliances. Perhaps the most unique feature of this RV is the huge pantry, located behind the TV next to the entry door.
Venture SportTrek ST333VIK
Length: 37 feet, 8 inches
Another amazing (and enormous) rear bunkhouse travel trailer is the Venture SportTrek ST333VIK. The bunkroom includes a normal-height single bed, and a raised top bunk which sits over a storage cabinet.
The lower bed is perfect both for smaller children who are at risk of falling from higher bunks and teenagers who need more headroom. The huge bunkroom is also great for teenagers because it also has a sofa (with another flip-up bunk above it), a table, and a flip-up desk.
Outside the bunkroom is a full (second) bathroom. The other bathroom is located in the front of the trailer next to the main bedroom with a queen bed.
While the bunkroom is the star of this RV, the main living area does not disappoint either. With the optional king dinette, the combination sofa/dining area can comfortably seat 5 to 6 people. The large kitchen has an island and a hutch that makes a perfect coffee station.
