Armadillo Triple Bunk - Family of Five

[DMPBurke]

Hi,


We are a young family of five (baby, preschooler, and kindergartner) and I've been looking at the Armadillo Triple Bunk floor plan online. I like that it's a smaller camper and we can tow it with our vehicle. Also, it's super cute.



I'm wondering if anyone owns it and has their three kids sleep in the three bunks? Or has toured in person? The bunk space looks tight, but our kids are young and small.



We only would use the camper for storing gear when traveling and to sleep in at night; otherwise, we cook, eat, and play outside all day. For us, camping is being outside, but I do like a warm camper for sleeping. We currently own a T@b, but have out grown it. Our last camping trip we did one adult in a tent with two kids, and one adult in the T@b with the baby. Our kids are too young for me to be comfortable to have them outside in a tent on their own; perhaps later when they are teenagers.



Of course, the other thought we've had is going over to the dark side and getting something like a quad bunk Jayco or other giant non-cute camper trailer. <_<



If anyone has input on the Armadillo triple bunk, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

We are four in a Scamp 13 with double bunks, and I will risk one observation as a non-owner. When we’re confined inside during a rainstorm or an evening that’s just too cold and windy for a campfire, I really like that our bunks fold down to make a second searing area. It allows for different activities at the same time.

There is a video on YouTube about the Triple Bunk Armadillo-from an owners perspective.

Having small children, such as yours, Id look at a Casita Spirit Standard. The kids would have room to grow and I fear the bunks in the Armadillo are too cramped.

We spend majority of the time outside the camper, but on those rainy days having a place to sit and stretch is a necessity.
