The Most Common RV Floor Plans

There are a lot of RV options on the market, so when you’re ready to purchase your own, it can seem a little overwhelming. There are several factors you’ll need to consider, but one of the most popular ways to narrow down your search is by selecting a floor plan.

Why Does the RV Floor Plan Matter?

One of the biggest concerns people have as they search for the right RV is if it will provide enough space for everyone during travel. Floor plans are a great way to guarantee adequate space for everyone and it also helps you find the right layout that makes sense for your lifestyle. 

Choosing the right layout can truly determine how much you enjoy the space!

What Floor Plans Are Available?

Most floor plans will be similar across RV types; for example, you can find similar layouts in motorhomes and fifth wheels. Of course, the size of the RV will determine what plans are practical, but you can continue reading for a breakdown of the most common layouts. 

Rear Living

Possibly the most popular layout is the rear living floor plan. This can be an especially useful choice for families. It offers plenty of living space, meaning it will be comfortable to relax inside. This layout features a larger kitchen and living room space toward the back of the RV (near the bumper) and moderate bedroom and bathroom space near the front (toward the hitch).

Oftentimes this floor plan will feature larger back and side windows, and you can choose models with slide outs for even more room!

Bunkhouse

This specific floor plan is found at many different price points and RV types. Bunkhouse models are great for anyone traveling with several children or a lot of friends! You can find different bunk layouts as well, including: quad bunks, double bunks, a dedicated bunk room, and a single bunk.

You can get a lot more sleeping space in these models, so it can be perfect for groups who plan to stay busy outdoors but will need comfortable sleeping amenities. 

Front Kitchen 

Another great layout is the front kitchen floor plan. People who love to cook will definitely gravitate toward these models! These RVs emphasize counterspace, storage, and plenty of kitchen space. 

You will most commonly find these floor plans with fifth wheels, travel trailers, and destination RVs.

There are several more floor plans not mentioned here, each one catering to different lifestyles and travel preferences.
