What kind of camper has bunk beds(4) and a queen size bed that I can pull with a tundra? Or at least 1 bunk bed and a sofa bed with a queen too. Went down that rabbit hole today and couldn’t find any really. Any ideas?

I was looking for similar layout as you. I am waiting on mine to come in. Plan to use for hunting camp and maybe an occasional road trip. Keystone Springdale 282 BH.

My in-laws had a Catalina with 4 bunks in an L shape but I’m unsure on the queen bed. He pulled it with an F150. This was about 6yrs ago.

Look at the KZ brand. Several models to choose from.

Mine only has one bunk bed and a queen size murphy bed that flips up to a sofa. I pulled it with a Tacoma for a month or two. 4700lb UVW IIRC. Flagstaff Micro Lite 25LB

ETA: I pull it with a Sierra 1500 diesel now. No issues.

Sounds like you’re looking for a bunk house camper. I’d go by a few dealers shouldn’t be hard to find.

Can a Tundra pull the same as a Sierra? I pulled 5th wheel bunkhouses with GM 1500s for 12 years with zero issues. I just shopped by pin weight(low) and stayed under 29'.

6,500# tow capacity. So I’d assume so?

I would be more worried about payload for a 5th wheel, but I did an image search for Tundra/5th wheel and looks like lots of guys are doing it.

I’m hoping to stay smaller than that. Those get $$. I’m really looking for a used one <8k max

I got a great deal on a used 5th wheel bunk house once. Was super light and wasn't all that expensive.

How many are you looking to sleep OP? Most campers the table turns into a bed. A lot of the bunks can also sleep 2 kids per bed depending on their size. The biggest issue I’ve seen with the bunks is they are short for an adult im 6’ and my feet touch easily on my parents’.

But anyway, you have a bunk, the table which can sleep 1 adult or 2 kids, and then The queen bed. This is a very popular layout that ‘sleeps 6’.

Bunks are for little kids. I would rather 4 bunks, got 3 kids. Don’t want one sleeping on the sofa bed. And a queen bed for me.

Get something used. Trailers are cheaply made. I'm selling a 2017 36' Jayco that was the biggest mistake ever.

Been there, next time I will buy 1 to 2 years old and do a full survey of it.

If you don't look hard at the Flagstaff products, your playing yourself. Check out Haywood RV on YouTube, dude has hundreds of reviews.
