I don't have the measurements at the moment, the two on the pass. side are slightly wider than the two on the drivers side, but not by much, just a few inches.

You might also check the dealer in Cheyenne. They had a 2007 in stock that we looked at. The thing that I learned when you deal with a local dealer and use a discounter or lower price, is your willingness to go a get the trailer yourself. Since I was willing to go and get the trailer because I have family in the area and was traveling that way. So to bring home the trailer would not be as expensive. You might have to be willing to walk away from the local dealer as well.

Have you thought about a Cedar Creek Silverback? That model may have just what you're looking for.

I don't know if Cedar Creek makes it any more, but I have a 2005 362BBS, which is a 3 slide, upper bed room, sofa and dining table and a rear bunk slide. This camper has a full upper bath with a 1/2 back in the rear bunk area and my favorite item, a rear exit door.
This coach was partially custom built for me by Cedar Creek and the design was so well accepted it was put into standard production...we love it, but I now need a toy hauler for my harley so it has to go.
I don't know how to put attachments on here or I would put a floor plan for you, if you have any questions holler.

We have a Jayco 325 BHS and we have the Double Bunk Bed option which is actually two double beds. My fil and mil went with us on a trip last summer and they slept in one and my son slept in the other and had plenty of room. It is a very nice layout. I was able to snag ours for right around 30,000. Good luck!!

I absolutely love the Jayco 355FBHS. I really looked closely at that one and only decided on the 291RLTS because it has more living area. There have already been a few times I wish I got the 355, especially because of the extra half bath. For your situation, it seems perfect.

The MSRP on my 291 was just over 46K, but I got it for 32K. After TTL (and other BS) it was out the door (and I got them to throw in a new hitch) for right at 35K. I think if you go in person and show just how serious you are you will have a better chance negotiating them down.

On the Crossroads CF31QF the bunks are 29X74. On the Crossroads CF32BL The Bunks are 32X64 I have this unit, and liked it because of the side aisle, curb side, able to get in to the bathroom, and refrigerator with the slides in. Also like that the Bunk room could be close off with a solid door. The master bedroom has a bifolding door this will separate it from the bathroom. Also the bathroom has plenty of turn around space for us 64 year olds.

I agree with some folks here about Cruiser CF31QB. Sounds like what you need. Actually, it is funny, but we looked at Jaycos, Silverbacks also - exactly what others mention here. In the end we wanted front bunks model - much more convenient with kids. Also we needed extra insulation ( we mostly camp in below freezing temps ). It appears that people really like them ( us included ), and factory support is outstanding. You can get one of these in mid $20s ( with options etc). Jaycos and Silberbacks are fine units too ... just about $7-10K more expensive for about same product. I am not sure if they have front bunks option ...
