We are not the only ones with a nine-sleeper. Pizzachop has seven kids, too!

Here is a photo of the bunk room with center bunks raised and floor bunk folded into a chair.

Thanks for the idea. Do you have a list of material that you can list on this site.

What a great way to use space.

Great design of sleeping arrangements for 7 kids. I will bet they have a blast, though it probably takes them a while to get to sleep. Great entertainment for the parents too.

Very nice set-up! When I was growing we had the same size family and my Dad built the same set up in a school bus that he remodeled into a camper, those are great camping memories! Hope you and the family have lots of great times!

WOWEEE!!! How very lucky your children are!! They will have some fantastic childhood memories----Well done!

Thanks!!! I will have to post new pics, we have improved it some since the last ones here. We built triple bunks into our girls' room at home recently since they like the camper so much! Tinman54, did you have an assigned bunk or id you all switch around?

We pretty much stayed in the same space, the older kids eventually moved into tents outside, lots of good times in that old bus!

another member pointed me in this direction when I asked about bunks....amazing setup

I will have to if needed later ask more about how to's regarding construction and securing these to the AS....

Great looking family!! I have 4 siblings....we would have had a blast doing the same thing growing up....we were never big campers back then, but I did more camping when older. Memories will last forever...take care....

We are still having a blast with our bunkhouse. The living room has a queen for us and a pullout twin for Robs mom, so it really sleeps ten. Sure do love it!

PharmGeek · 01-01-2013, 11:55 PM

10?!?....as far as number of persons sleeping in an AS per volume, this must perhaps be a record for the AS forum here???

It's a good use of space in a 29 footer for sure!

I know this is a few years too late, but we are a family of 8 looking for an Airstream and the triple bunks seem to be the way to go. What is the clearance in between the bunks and the the clearance of the ceiling on the top bunk? Oh.....we are currently using an old Coleman pop up too! We are looking for a Sovereign.

My family had a mid-sized Airstream---maybe a 26 ft'r that was custom fitted with bunk beds midship. Each upper bunk was made with a split down it's long axis so that the portion of the bed towards the center aisle could be lift up and slide over / onto the outside portion. The idea was that the bunks did not eliminate head room for day usage, as there were 8 of us in that trailer, and that's were the kids ate. They used redwood to remain as light weight as possible. I am always hoping to see that old trailer here on Air Forums sometime! I'm sorry that I don't have any photos to illustrate the design.
