Top 5 Destination Trailers with Lofts or Bunks

Destination trailers are not built for traveling the open road for days on end. They are built to travel to a space and sit there and be used. Lots of people will purchase a recreation property such as a lake or mountain property and use a destination trailer for their housing.

These trailers can simple to locate and are a lot quicker than building your own home, and are the only item you can use in some locations if you are in a high water zone or no build zone.

Here are our top 5 favorite destination trailers with bunks!

Forest River Sandpiper 399LOFT

The Forest River Sandpiper 399 Loft destination trailer does nothing but wow you with its features. This travel trailer comes with four slide-outs creating a spacious interior making it feel like a home instead of an RV.

As you open the main entry door, yes there is more than one entry in this trailer, you will notice it is not a standard travel trailer door. It is a long, floor to ceiling sliding glass door. This sliding glass door brings in so much light into the main living area. It is also tinted so that you can see out but others cannot see in during the day, however, there is a shade that covers the door for privacy at night.

The second entry is located towards the rear of the trailer as a private entry for the master bedroom. This entry comes with a standard travel trailer door.

As you enter the main living area, it opens to the kitchen and living room. This area houses three of the four slide-outs. The kitchen is very large with several countertops and a center island. The center island is perfect for entertaining family and friends. The island houses the sink, which is great for whoever is doing the dishes.

You and your guests can still be in the conversation while cleaning up. The sink has a removable sink cover that can go on top of the sink so that you can use the entire center island for entertaining. There are two additional, separate kitchen counters. There is one on a wall adjacent to the island that is long but shorter in width than a standard countertop. This area is great for small kitchen appliances, such as a coffee maker, or a great space to use as a sideboard for dinner.

The back wall, that sits on a slide-out, houses your residential size refrigerator, stove, oven, and entertainment center. All of the appliances are stainless steel. The refrigerator is 20 cubic feet and is a French-style with two doors that open to the refrigerator and one pullout door for the freezer. The stovetop is gas with four burners. Above the stove is a residential-sized microwave and below is a residential-sized oven.

Beside the stovetop is the entertainment area there is a large, flat-screen TV mounted on the wall with a surround sound system and below is a gas fireplace. Yes, a fireplace! This is a great feature to make the travel trailer feel cozy and like you are at home.

There are two sofas in this living room. One is large enough for three people to sit comfortably and it sits on another one of the slide-outs. It also converts to a queen-sized bed. The other sofa is a theater sofa that reclines and has cup holders. This sofa seats two people and also sits on another slide-out. Beside this sofa is the kitchen table with four stand-alone chairs.

Finally, throughout the kitchen and living room are beautiful wood cabinets. The cabinets are located towards the top of the walls right below the ceiling. They are high and out of the way but are great for storage. Also, the wood-like flooring is beautiful. It complements the wood cabinets and is located throughout the kitchen, living room, and hallway.

As you walk down the hallway, you will see the bathroom on the right. It is a good size bathroom but it is still a little tight. The bathroom comes with a separate toilet, vanity, and shower/tub combination. Right past the bathroom is a staircase leading you to the loft which is our favorite part. As you walk the curved staircase you will see an enclosed loft with two mattresses.

The mattresses are a bit larger than a twin but smaller than a full. This is a perfect area for kids. There are also additional storage cabinets in the loft. As you head back down the stairs, you will see a door leading to the master bedroom. This large room has a king-sized bed, a large closet, and a chest od drawers for plenty of clothes.
