A Beginner's Guide to Fifth Wheel Floor Plans
The right fifth wheel floor plan makes all the difference. It leads to the most effective use of space for your family's needs and guarantees the most comfortable trip. But how do you know which floor plan approach to pick?
Here at RV Outfitters of Texas, we strive to make your life easier. We created the following guide to common fifth wheel floor plans, so read on to learn more!
Bunkhouse
These fifth wheels offer a unique sleeping accommodation option: bunk beds! This creative furniture option doubles the sleeping spaces without taking up extra floor space. The bunks can either be stacked on top of a bed or another piece of furniture (such as a convertible sleeper sofa). They can also be secure in place or moved (such as a top bunk that gets closed to increase the space). Because the bunk beds are typically the length of a standard twin mattress and offer limited overhead space, they are usually used only by children.
The Front Living Fifth Wheel
With this floor plan, the living space is placed at the front. For example, the fifth wheel's front may contain couches and a television while the main bedroom is found at the rear. There tends to be higher ceilings in the bedroom and bathroom, which leads to more storage, larger closets, and increased comfort for taller individuals.
These models also usually have more separation between the kitchen and living area. Sometimes, there is even a curtain to partition the living area. This helps the "rooms" feel more distinct and helps the fifth wheel feel more similar to a traditional home's floor plan.
The Rear Living Layout
This floor plan focuses on an expanded living space. With the sleeping accommodations placed in front, there is plenty of room for a spacious kitchen and living room. These two areas tend to be blended in a more open floor plan style. Anyone who enjoys cooking will appreciate the extra cooking space found on these fifth wheels.
The Rear Entertainment Fifth Wheel
This floor plan is similar to the rear living floor plan but with a greater focus on entertainment. With these fifth wheels, there is a large entertainment center and a larger television found in the rear. There also tends to be a larger viewing area with larger couches, making it easier to comfortably fit bigger groups for movie night. Many models also offer more storage on the back wall. You may even get a fireplace and extra mantle space included in this floor plan!
