Which RV Floorplan Is Right for You? Here's What Most People Get Wrong

Most RV buyers pick their floorplan based on photos. Big mistake. The “perfect” rear living room looks amazing in the showroom. But after your first trip to Redfish Lake when you realize you can’t access the bathroom without waking everyone up? Not so amazing. Here’s the truth: Your floorplan matters more than the brand, the price, or even how pretty it looks. Because the wrong layout will make every trip miserable. The right one? You’ll forget it’s even an RV. Use our Boise RV Floorplan Finder below to see which local dealers carry the layout that matches how you actually camp.

The 9 RV Floorplans (Explained Like You're 5)

Bunkhouse

Best For: Families with kids (or grandkids who visit)

What It Is: Dedicated sleeping area with bunk beds – usually in the back, sometimes over the hitch

Real Talk:

  • ✅ Kids have their own space (finally)
  • ✅ Most popular layout for Idaho families
  • ❌ Bunks can be cramped for teenagers
  • ❌ Less storage than other layouts

Perfect If: You’re heading to McCall or Yellowstone with anyone under 16

Rear Living

Best For: Couples who want a view and space to spread out

What It Is: The back of the RV is one big living area with big windows and recliners

Real Talk:

  • ✅ Amazing views (especially in the Sawtooths)
  • ✅ Feels spacious
  • ❌ Those big windows = less privacy in RV campgrounds

Perfect If: You camp where the scenery matters and you don’t camp in crowded RV parks

Outdoor Kitchen

Best For: Summer campers who love to tailgate

What It Is: A kitchen setup on the outside of the RV – usually includes a griddle, mini fridge, and counter space

Real Talk:

  • ✅ Instagram-worthy
  • ✅ Great for tailgating at BSU games
  • ❌ Adds 500+ lbs to your tow weight
  • ❌ One more thing to winterize and dewinterize

Perfect If: You camp June-August and love cooking outside

Honest Opinion: Most Boise buyers regret this feature. Sounds amazing, rarely gets used.

Bath and a Half

Best For: Larger families or anyone who hates waiting for the bathroom

What It Is: Two bathrooms – usually a full bath and a half bath (toilet + sink, no shower)

Real Talk:

  • ✅ No bathroom wars
  • ✅ Perfect for road trips (someone can use bathroom while driving)
  • ❌ Takes up space that could be storage or living area
  • ❌ Less common = harder to find

Perfect If: You have 4+ people and someone always needs the bathroom RIGHT NOW

Kitchen Island

Best For: People who actually cook in their RV (and need counter space)

What It Is: A freestanding island in the kitchen area instead of just galley counters

Real Talk:

  • ✅ Tons of counter space for meal prep
  • ✅ Multiple people can cook together
  • ❌ Takes up floor space (RV feels smaller)
  • ❌ Can be awkward to walk around

Perfect If: You meal-prep for the week or have dietary restrictions that require cooking

Murphy Bed

Best For: Solo travelers or couples who want flexible space

What It Is: A bed that folds up into the wall during the day, turning the bedroom into usable space

Real Talk:

  • ✅ More daytime living space
  • ✅ Perfect for remote workers who need a desk setup
  • ❌ You have to make/unmake the bed daily
  • ❌ Older people struggle with the mechanism

Perfect If: You’ll use your RV as a mobile office or spend most of your day outside

Rear Kitchen

Best For: Cooks who want a view while they work

What It Is: The kitchen is in the back of the RV (instead of the middle)

Real Talk:

  • ✅ Big windows = you can watch the kids/lake/campfire while cooking
  • ✅ Kitchen doesn’t feel like a hallway
  • ❌ Less common layout
  • ❌ Can make the RV feel back-heavy

Perfect If: You’re the camp chef and don’t want to miss out on the fun

Front Living

Best For: Fifth wheel buyers who want luxury up front

What It Is: The living area is in the front (over the truck bed) instead of the rear

Real Talk:

  • ✅ Feels like a high-end apartment
  • ✅ Quieter than rear living (engine noise is behind you)
  • ❌ Only available in fifth wheels
  • ❌ Bedroom is in back = long walk at night

Perfect If: You’re buying a fifth wheel and want the “wow” factor

Loft

Best For: Young families or extra sleeping capacity without a full bunkhouse

What It Is: A sleeping area above the main living space (like a tiny upstairs)

Real Talk:

  • ✅ Adds sleeping without taking floor space
  • ✅ Kids think it’s cool
  • ❌ Older kids/adults hit their heads
  • ❌ Terrible for anyone afraid of heights
  • ❌ Can’t use it while driving

Perfect If: Your kids are small and you need extra beds without extra length

Still Not Sure Which RV Floorplan? Ask Yourself These 3 Questions:

Question 1: "How many nights per year will we actually camp?"

– Less than 10 nights: Prioritize COST over features

– 10-30 nights: Prioritize your MOST IMPORTANT feature

– 30+ nights: Prioritize COMFORT – you’re living in this thing

– Kids kept us awake: → Bunkhouse

– Bathroom lines: → Bath and a Half

– No place to cook: → Kitchen Island or Rear Kitchen

– Felt cramped: → Rear Living or Front Living

– State parks (tight spaces): Avoid huge rear living layouts

– Private RV resorts: Any layout works

– Boondocking: Skip outdoor kitchen, prioritize storage

Pro Tip: The best floorplan is the one that solves your BIGGEST complaint from your last Idaho camping trip.

What Actually Works in Idaho (Based on Real RV Owners)

☀️ Summer-Only Campers (Most Boise Buyers) Best Bets: Bunkhouse, Rear Living, Outdoor Kitchen Reality: You’ll camp June-September. Don’t overpay for 4-season insulation.

❄️ Year-Round Campers (Fewer Than You Think) Best Bets: Murphy Bed, Front Living, Bath and a Half Reality: You need insulation and a heated underbelly. Not all dealers carry this.

🏔️ Weekend Warriors (Payette, McCall, Redfish) Best Bets: Bunkhouse, Kitchen Island Reality: You need sleeping capacity and meal prep space. You won’t use fancy lounges.

🚙 Long-Haul Road Trippers (Yellowstone, Glacier) Best Bets: Bath and a Half, Rear Kitchen, Murphy Bed Reality: You need bathroom access while driving and comfortable long-term living.

5 Floorplan Choices Most Boise Buyers Regret

❌ Mistake #1: Outdoor Kitchen in Idaho Why: You’ll use it 5 times. It adds $8,000 and 500 lbs (which could make towing even more difficult). Better Choice: Regular kitchen + portable camp stove

❌ Mistake #2: Rear Living Without Blackout Shades Why: Those big windows = your neighbors see everything at RV parks Better Choice: Rear living with privacy shades, or skip it entirely

❌ Mistake #3: Bunkhouse When Your Kids Are Teenagers Why: Teen hips don’t fit in 28″ bunks Better Choice: Murphy bed or rear living with a convertible couch

❌ Mistake #4: Murphy Bed for Anyone Over 65 Why: The folding mechanism gets hard to operate Better Choice: Traditional bedroom layout

❌ Mistake #5: Low hanging Loft When You’re Over 5’8″ Why: You’ll worry you’ll hit your head. Constantly. Better Choice: Bunkhouse with full-height bunks

Your Floorplan Checklist (Screenshot This)

Before you visit a dealer, make sure you’ve thought about:

□ How many people sleep in the RV? (Real number, not “it sleeps 8”)

□ Can you access the bathroom when the slides are IN? (Critical for highway stops)

□ Where is the bedroom in relation to the living area? (Noise matters)

□ How much counter space do you actually need for cooking?

□ Is there a place to sit and eat INSIDE when it rains?

□ Where does all your gear go? (Bikes, kayaks, fishing poles, etc.)

□ Can you stand up in the bathroom? (If you’re over 6′, this matters)

□ Does the layout force people to walk through the bedroom to get anywhere?

Pro Tip: Bring your family to the dealer and have everyone walk through the RV. If someone says “this feels weird,” trust that feeling.

The One Thing We Wish Every Boise RV Buyer Knew

The RV you buy isn’t the one in the showroom with the lights dimmed and the AC running. It’s the one after 3,000 miles, two rainstorms, and a week with your actual family in 90-degree heat. Choose for real life, not the fantasy. That’s why we built this tool – to help you find the layout that matches how you actually camp, not how you think you’ll camp. Ready to find your floorplan?
