A roundup of the best new motorhomes with bunk beds so you can include everyone on your next camping trip!
Family. It’s why many of us decided to join the ranks of RVing. Whether it began in a pickup truck, a tent, a towable trailer or in a motorhome (lucky you!), family togetherness is certainly a driving force among motorhome owners. We’re fortunate enough to own a motorhome and are eager to share our experiences with those closest to us. What better way to recruit a new motorhome group than to show them the benefits first-hand?
In order to accommodate a whole herd of ramblers, a bunkhouse is a great place to start. These floorplans are conducive to bringing along the kids and grandkids and can even offer the greatest pillow forts imaginable for the little ones. Often including its own entertainment system and located just steps away from the facilities or late-night snacks, the bunkhouse area in a motorhome will make everybody a happy camper before bedding down for the night. But as you’ll see, these motorhomes are much more than empty shells with cots for your kinfolk; rather, they offer luxury and amenities the whole family will enjoy.
Class A Gas Motorhomes with Bunks
When considering the most bang for your buck, it’s tough to beat a gas-powered Class A. They offer all the comfort and amenities of more expensive models at a price point that won’t buck your budget. Here are three top contenders:
Winnebago Vista
The Winnebago Vista 31 B features a full-wall slide that opens up the interior. An optional StudioLoft bed ups the sleeping capacity, while a removable pedestal table in the cab offers versatility for game night.

Super C Motorhomes with Bunks
A conventional Class C motorhome is pretty much a bunkhouse by definition. The cabover bed area tells us so (with a few exceptions, of course). But we’ve decided to up the ante and include only so-named “Super C” motorhomes, because, hey, it says “super” in the title. It doesn’t hurt that these motorhomes are also well-known for good-ol’ stump-pullin’ muscle.
