The maximum amount of space allowed in an RV is 400 square feet.
Many RVs have even less space to work with and must use tricks like side slider-outs, bunk beds, and multi-functional furniture.
That is why your floorplan choice is one of the most important decisions you will make when purchasing an RV.
Here are the top 3 RV layouts to consider to get the most out of your tiny new home.
1. Rear Garage and Living Space
One of the most popular RV layouts is a versatile rear garage that is separate from your main living area.
The back of your RV can be used as a second bedroom or play area for the kids. It can also be used for storage. If you have sports equipment or motorcycles, the space can act as a garage during travel.
When you sent up camp, take out your vehicles to create a workout room.
The back door can open and extend in some RVs to transform into a patio for outdoor meals.
Cool RV layouts like this one utilize your space by making it into a multi-functional room.
It can also be used to keep clutter out of the way of your front living room. Removing clutter improves your mental well-being, something that is needed when traveling long hours.
2. Open Entertainment Space
When you think about what RV layout should I choose, consider how many people will be in your home and how much privacy you will need.
If you and your partner will be the only ones using it then an open floor plan gives the illusion of more space. This option is perfect if you do not need much privacy.
This floor plan uses wall space to add comfortable seating options and a large kitchen without taking up floor space.
If you like to entertain in your RV, this layout works best as it does not get crowded and offers many seating options. However, the sleeping options are limited, so guests will stay for dinner but not for slumber.
3. Bunkhouse
There are many family RV layout styles that work well for accommodating a large group.
You want your family to be comfortable, especially the kids who might get irritated when they don’t have a place to play. When parked, kids can go outside, but what about during your travels.
A bunkhouse is a perfect floorplan to create enough sleeping options while giving kids their own place to retreat.
Usually placed in the rear of the RV, a bunk house is a separate living quarter that has its own bathroom, closet space, sofa, and TV for entertaining. Bunks are placed around the wall off of the ground to utilize space.
Kids love this option because they have their own room to hang out on rainy days and while traveling.
RV Layouts that Fit Your Lifestyle
When it comes to RV layouts you have to choose one that works for you. If you plan to live solely in your RV, then you will need to consider fitting all of your things in it. If it is just for vacations then you need space for the whole family.
You will also have to consider your budget and what features you can afford. Let us help you with this big decision by contacting us today.
