Bunkhouse Travel Trailers: Prominent Features
Your layout for your custom Comforts of Home bunkhouse travel trailer will make inventive and efficient use of space for the facets you specify.
- Bunk beds. Yours could be in different configurations (e.g. vertical or side by side) or in a particular section of the sleeping trailer (e.g. rear or side).
- Designated rooms. Your bunk trailer can include different rooms serving particular purposes you specify with your Comforts of Home trailer-solutions advisor.
- Complete amenities. A bunkhouse travel trailer is much more than a collection of beds. You can also add spaces such as a kitchen (stove, sink, fridge, microwave), a bathroom (sink, shower, toilet), dining area (e.g. booth, U-shaped dinette) and a living or family room (sofa, chairs, tables, audio/visual system).
Bunkhouse Travel Trailers: Key Considerations
With Comforts of Home, building a bunkhouse travel trailer begins with equal parts vision and need.
The following are some leading aspects to consider as your design develops into the trailer to be created exclusively for you.
- Layout & floor-plan design. Who will be using it, and how many beds will you need? You might also determine if the bunk beds will occupy space or will provide it by being fold-up or removable.
- Chassis & frame. Perhaps your trailer will be made of durable, corrosion-resistant steel or aluminum. If usage will include off-roading or boondocking, you might further focus on off-road tires, stronger suspension and greater ground clearance.
- Construction & insulation. You might wish for your exterior trailer walls to be made with aluminum siding. Proper insulation will be another factor. For comfort and energy efficiency, especially in seasonal weather extremes, you might opt for spray-foam insulation. Vapor barriers and weather sealing can support leak prevention as well.
- Interior features & finishes. Together, you and your Comforts of Home designer will distinguish must-haves and like-to-haves. For example, you may know the trailer will require eight bunks with their own separate storage. Privacy curtains for each bed might be desirable but not essential.
- Electrical, plumbing & HVAC. Together we’ll establish the power type for the trailer (e.g. 12V DC, generator), the water heater and plumbing tank to include (e.g. black, greywater, freshwater), and the heating and cooling configuration (e.g. roof AC, electric furnace, vent fans).
- Kitchen & bathroom design. You might define facets such as type of oven and refrigerator; amount of pantry, drawer and countertop space; bath layout; shower size; and toilet format (e.g. gravity or vacuum flush).
- Personal style. Comforts of Home sleeping trailers are as much about distinction as they are function. You and your custom-trailer designer can discuss the aspects that further establish your trailer as an original (e.g. interior colors and themes, flooring and cabinet finishes, WiFi, TVs, gaming and stereo systems).
- Proper compliance is vital as well. We construct your bunkhouse travel trailer to comply with Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), Department of Transportation (DOT) and local municipal safety codes. We also install compliant smoke, CO2 and propane detectors.
Bunkhouse Travel Trailers: A Word About Compassion & Outreach
As community-rooted pioneers of mobile solutions, COSHI understands how and where a unit must perform for people, especially for outreach and crisis initiatives that bring services or relief to those who need it most.
With more than 3,500 total custom trailers built to date, we have witnessed unforgettable stories of ordinary people achieving extraordinary things with selflessness and compassion.
We have been able to see how a warm shower can return personal dignity to those who have been living on the streets; how basic but vital healthcare is delivered to families who contend with limited access; and how people come together on behalf of others through emergency teams manning a mobile response station for a disaster or crisis.
Comforts of Home bunk trailers become mobile sleepers that safely shelter emergency workers, medical staff, outreach volunteers and displaced civilians. They are designed and built for rapid deployment, self-sufficiency and durability as crucial components of community and recovery operations.
