Some RVs can sleep a lot of people, like this Keystone with a dual bunk trailer. It sleeps 14! Even this incredible “teardrop” trailer can sleep six! But just because an RV can sleep a lot of people doesn’t mean it should… right?
How many people could sleep (or should we say sleep comfortably) in your RV at a time? Have you actually had that many people sleep inside at any time? If so, were you all comfortable or was it pretty cramped? We’d love to know in the comments!
What’s the most amount of people you’ve had sleep in your RV at once? Please tell us by voting in the poll below (and nope, this doesn’t mean furry friends!).
Eight if us, DW and I had 4 grands on an Adirondacks vacation, and the parents decided to come up and join us. It was VERY cozy in our 5ver!
My class c is set up for just me and DW. We still have the bunk over the cab, so when my son decides to visit us at the campground, he has a place to stay.
I love it!
7 people for 2 nights, last March just before the pandemic closed things down. My daughter and husband and her 3 kids (two of who are over 6 feet tall!) all visited us at Hanna Park in Jacksonville FL
Four adults and three kids (10,13,16) on a regular basis. Including Alaska Trip. Eight on one particular annual trip. Great memories
Back in the 80’s with a fold down camped every other weekend in State park in Northern Ind. great memories.
Right after Hurricane Andrew we ended up with 7 in our 32′ Motorhome designed for four with no slides. We went to North Carolina to buy it just to have a place to sleep while we rebuilt the house. Fortunately it was just for one night as our daughter had come home from college with her boy friend. We regularly had 5 in it for several months as we rebuilt.
Don’t want to go through that again.
…although my dog thinks she’s a people 😀
We had a 1982 Layton 26′ bunkhouse back in the day that actually slept 9. One trip to Assateague Island I stuffed 8 in. Wife, me and young son, Mom & Dad, little brother and his two youngsters. Learned a valuable lesson THAT trip…
As a kid on our annual vacation with the family, we slept 6 (2 adults, 4 kids) in our Coleman pop-up during a few trips north from Florida to Ohio to visit family. We have so many photos in the family album of us kids in Yogi’s pic-a-nic basket. Must have driven my parents crazy, though, we only did that a couple summers.
Our answer of five is a now and then answer. During several weeks in summer and Thanksgiving it is three with our grandson along. Most times just the wife and I with the two hound dawgs.
We have 5 grandkids, so 7 is the most. Since we fulltime and spend winters away, 7 in the coach for a night or 2 is not cramped at all. 😉
We have 37 ft class A so at least once a year there are seven of us taking trips around the south with my daughter her husband and three granddaughters , one of which lives with us full time, wouldn’t change it for the world its great!
We had a 25′ TT and it slept 8 one night. My son and I pulled the TT to an out of town skeet tournament and the team all slept in our rig. The kids ranged in age from 14 to 16. It was a blast. (pardon the pun)
My wife and I are both on our second marriage and each brought 2 children to it. When the kids were younger we would vacation for a week with my sister in law and her 3 kids. So for that 1 week a year we would have 8 people sleeping in our rv.
We live by a quote that a seasoned RVer told me years ago……SIX for drinks, FOUR for dinner and TWO to sleep.
Went to Disney World, and the boys along with their families joined us at different times. We have beds for 4, there were 7 of us. Inflatable air mattress was the answer, but it had to be moved before we could get the day started. Enjoyed the time together!
Purchased our bunkhouse 5th wheel in mind for the grandkids and parents. We were looking at smaller ones, but one granddaughter kept saying, “But where will I sleep.” So we bought the bunkhouse one in 2012. The total was 7. 3GK+2Parents+2GParents. She was 4 when she said that, now days…You know the rest of the story.
We have two daughters and they each brought a friend on a local outing and then two cousins also showed up. So we had a total of 8 sleeping in the RV but that included some sleeping on the floor, which they thought was great!!
Eight with two adult children and their spouses along with the grandchildren. We love that family time together! (Class C motorhome)
10. 1 adult & 9 kids. Many times. Middle school and high school sleepovers & sleepaways. Not me, the wife! She had as much fun as the kids I think…
11 people and two dogs – We had a bunk house trailer, 2 adults, 5 children and an Irish setter. We were camping with friends, a couple and 2 children with small dog who camped in a tent. When it got well over 100 degrees the last day we were camping, we brought them into the trailer for the night. Crowded but cool.
It only happened one time…the sky opened up pouring rain, and all the grandchildren (5) plus their dad, ran in from their tents and piled into our RV for the night. Along with us, that made 8! We had sleeping bags filled with kids everywhere!
Six plus the dog in a 8 ft box,cabover pick up camper
Trip to Disneyland in ’09. At least we had a bunk model but still had the dinette and couch folded down. Total of 7.
I had an event where there were two on the table nook, three on the couch, two on the floor and two on the usual bed in back of the motorhome. It was a horse ride event.
Having three sons they all wanted to bring friends. Usually the oldest would sleep in a tent but when storms threatened they would all want to sleep inside. My wife and I in the bedroom, two on the pull out couch, two on the dinette and the youngest and his friend on the bunk beds. Total 8, plus our dog who usually sleeps on our bed anyway.
6, I and the wife plus our 4 children plus the dog in a 16 ft TT camped on a point on Lake Pleasant in Arizona in 96.
We slept 3 adults and 3 kids in our 16 ft trailer in 90+ degree weather with no AC. I went home and ordered a new 34 ft bunkhouse for the next year. LOL
At an outdoor concert with our church youth group. Weather was rough, so I slept in tents with the boys. Female leader had all the girls in my camper. 4 in the front bedroom area, 2 on the dinette, 2 on the sofa at least 4 on whatever floor space was left. 26′ 5th wheel, no slides. Good times!
We regularly sleep 8 (Daughter, Son-In-Law, 4 Grandkids, Wife and I). 2012 Coachmen Mirada with Bunks. Crowded, but we love it.
This question has multiple answers for me. In our current RV it’s just been the wife and me. However we have been RVing for over 50 years and had a bunkhouse model that slept 9. We’ve raised 2 kids of our own and cared for several others and we’ve slept 8 inside plus 2 teenagers in a tent just outside the door.
We had 7 people sleep in a class B van camper in Alaska one time. It poured rain when we went salmon fishing and crowded into the van overnight.
Our tent trailer when we were younger would sleep several but if I recall properly five was the most we had in it. Our current TT has had no more than the two of us.
Eight – Husband and me, two sons and their wives, two grandchildren. Our 2019 Transcend 27BHS held all fairly comfortably.
Five grandkids and the two of us Not bad for one bed, a dinette and a sofa!
7 people, 4 grandchildren 9 to 16 years old, daughter, husband and myself. In 36 foot RV with two couch beds, queen size bed and captains chair with footrest. Previously had 24 foot cabover that we slept 6 adults. Guess we like to be cozy.
We have a 37’ class A with two slides. When we take our daughter & son in law and kids with us, we have 8: 2 in the bedroom, 2 on the couch, 2 on the booth, and 2 on the floor. Now that the children are getting older, they are beginning to sleep in a tent, weather and CG permitting.
In theory 5 can sleep in our RV, maybe even 6, but 2 of the 6 would need to be pre-teen children (and we haven’t any of them). To get to 5 someone would have to, again, be pre-teen (or pre-growth spurt) or sleep diagonally on the jack-knife love seat. Four is easily (?) done by opening up the sleeper sofa. However, it certainly affects ones ability to move about the front of the RV. We had my in-laws with us for a few weeks and they opted to sleep on the love seat jack-knifed and sofa (sans the sleeper part) for convenience. Also both are short so they fit easily.
We had a family reunion .
I have a 21 foot trailer that can sleep 5. I do not think I would want to push 5 because the 4 with luggage was cramped at best. We had to really juggle to make it all work. And that was almost 3 weeks out west and back. Now that we are down to three and no more going to be interesting going north for 2 weeks. I can see 2 comfortable but with the husband being a slob I prefer myself and solo. At least I can keep it clean without picking up after him. Which I don’t. I remind him. Too much.
I forgot to add 3 dogs as well. When we had a mishap with our pop up the motel clerk shook her head and said it will never work. It did. Great times. Those good times are all gone now. Just three dogs and me, the husband and a soon to fly the nest daughter.
We have a spot at Iowa State Fair. Big family on both sides, and there is over 15 year waiting list to get hook ups there.
When all the grandkids want to go camping with Mamaw, our 6 person Motorhome can be improvised to sleep 7 with a little help from a twin size air mattress!!
We generally sleep just two, but occasionally allow ONE grandchild at a time to visit.
