Hi,
Anyone know if there is a similar floor plan to this:

http://www.sunvalleyinc.com/products/2/floor-plans#3

We like how there are two bunks and the dinnete doesn't need to folded down. Just not sure how the gaucho bed would be for adults.

Where are the bunks ? I think I'm looking at the wrong floor plan.

Take a look at the Fun Finder X160 towards the bottom of the page.

flash, to clarify, according to the floorplan it's a pop-up trailer you are interested in right? The 61 at the bottom here?

We had a TT years ago...it was a 1978 Wilderness IIRC...with the fold out gaucho. I am sure foam beds have improved in the last thirty years but I thought sleeping on that gaucho was pretty uncomfortable. It also had a fold down bunk about the gaucho that was ok for two small kids.

I think Flash82 is looking at the Road Runner 161 XLT. Along the rear wall, it has a pull out gaucho below and a cabinet bunk above. The dinette is along the front wall.

It is a nice floor plan. I suggest that you check the weight limit and the depth of the bunk. We have a Road Runner 130 - 13'. Our drop down bunk has a maximum weight limit of 125lbs (although we never got a clear answer from the sales guy or the manufacturer, who we called directly). We think the low weight limit is due to the fact that it is a single axle and there is nothing to really anchor the bunk to. We could be wrong about that - it really is just speculation. The drop down cabinet bunk is really designed for a small child, in my opinion.

Despite that, we really love our Road Runner. It is small, very easy to tow, relatively light weight and very, very easy to fit into any small campsite. We absolutely love it. It is built for two. We use our dinette ONLY as a bed and eat outside at the picnic table, or under the awning if it's raining.

With the 161 model - perhaps you could use the dinette as your "permanent" bed (memory foam, or eggcrate foam does wonders to make it comfortable). It seems that the gaucho would be the perfect substitute for an indoor dinette. Get a little camping table or just any little plastic table to use inside. Seems like it would work like a charm!

Have a blast camping!

One adult might be able to sleep comfortably on the gaucho but two adults do not. And I am not sure about the one.

Hey all,
Yeah, it's the floorplan of the 161 XL I was talking about. There are two bunks, one above dinette and one above gaucho. Thanks Perrysburg Dodgeboy for making the link clickable.
The reason we were curious about this floorplan is the dinette won't have to be taken down every night and both kids (5,3) get their own bunk. Even at that age while looking they want their own (even though I haven't told them it probably won't happen in a small TT) The one thing we didn't like on the funfinder 160 when we looked at them was the dinette would have to be converted everynight. We did like them though.
Thanks Everyone....!!!!

You may want to take a look at what the Jayco line has to offer. We've been very happy with ours. I see you're in NKY. We bought ours at Colerain RV. I've been very pleased with them. If you want a sales guy there, I dealt with Ron Ammon...good guy.
