We are buying our first TT (after owning an old used pop-up and tenting). We have three children ages 8, 6, 4.
I originally thought I wanted a quad bunk but after going to several dealers and looking at them, I'm concerned about how narrow the top bunks are, with no safety railings and many with no ladders. My son (6) had a very difficult time climbing up there and could not get down. He is also a toss n turn sleeper. My daughter (4) is too little to manage it alone as well. My oldest is also a toss n turn sleeper. I also looked at a double over double bunk with a ladder (the new Jayco Flight 28 BHBE). This seemed like a good fit. The girls seemed to have room together on one bunk and the bunks are nestled in the walls so no concern about falling off top. But it just has a curtain around the beds, no door or separate room.
For those with kids:
1) Has anyone successfully modified a quad bunk with railings, ladders? How much did it cost?
2) Will the double over double be large enough for the girls (age 8, 4) in a few years?
3) Has anyone had problems with kids falling out of the top bunks? Or not being able to get down?
4) Opinions on having a separate sleeping room for the kids with a door to close off?
5) Seems difficult to find the double over double.
TIA for any advice!
