Bunk beds
Fixed bunk beds are a regular feature in UK and Continental caravans – unlike in motorhomes, where in the UK at least they are pretty much invisible. If you are taking a large party with you on tour, you have a choice of three, possibly four, layouts.
11 Lateral bunks, corner washroom
Possibly the most popular option, here you have a pair of bunks in one rear corner and a corner washroom in the other, with the two usually separated by a large wardrobe.
In longer caravans, having so much at the rear does mean you have extra space further up front for a second dinette, which can sometimes be made into bunks, or a bed for a child, and a larger central kitchen.
But there is not much privacy, even with curtain partitions, and you do have to sneak past quite a few sleeping bodies to reach the toilet at night.
Good for Larger families with kids of widely differing ages Not good for Anyone who values privacy above all
