When you’re loading up the whole family, the right RV can make or break the trip, which is why we keep a solid lineup of bunkhouse models on the lot. These units are built for families who need plenty of sleeping space, storage, and a kitchen that can handle more than sandwiches. Here are the best family RVs near St. Louis you should consider!
Key Takeaways:
- Bunkhouse floorplans sleeping capacity ranges from 6 to 10 across these five picks.
- More slides mean more room to live in, not just sleep in.
- When shopping for a family RV, match it to what your tow vehicle can actually handle.
2023 Alliance RV Avenue 31BHS
The Avenue 31BHS features two sleeping areas that separate mom and dad from the kids—a master bedroom upfront (with a real door) and a rear bed with bunks. Two slide-outs stretch the main living area wide enough that dinner isn’t such a tight squeeze, and at 34 feet, the RV maneuvers into a standard campsite without the drama some longer fifth wheels bring.
2026 KZ Sportsmen SE 291BHKSE
This RV is so light you can tow it behind a mid-size SUV or half-ton truck with ease. Sure, there are dedicated bunks for the kids to enjoy, and the outdoor kitchen is the real MVP here—prep and clean without indoor cleanup. It’s built for families who prioritize ease of towing and simplicity over sheer size.
2026 KZ Sportsmen SE 301BHKSE
Take everything that works about the 291 and stretch it just enough to fit one more body. This layout sleeps up to 10, making it the pick for families who regularly bring grandparents, cousins, or a kid’s best friend along for the ride. Despite the extra length, it’s still one of the lighter units on this list, so towability doesn’t take much of a hit.
2026 KZ Sportsmen SE 332BHKSE
This is where the Sportsmen SE line starts to feel like a real home base instead of just a place to sleep. The second slide-out makes all the difference—it turns the living area into a real living room, with enough space to spread out during a rainy afternoon. It sleeps nine, so you’re not losing capacity for the extra comfort, and families who plan on longer stays will feel the payoff every time they walk in the door.
2026 Open Range RV Open Range 338BHS
This is the one families buy when they’ve decided camping is going to be a big part of their life, not just an occasional weekend activity. Four slide-outs transform the interior, giving you a layout that rivals a small apartment. Here, there’s room for everyone to have their own space at the end of a long day outdoors. The bunkhouse keeps the kids’ zone separate and organized, while the outdoor kitchen means the mess of grilling and prep stays outside where it belongs. It does call for a heavier-duty tow vehicle, but for families who want the full fifth-wheel experience (one that feels like a second home every time you pull into a site), this is the payoff.
