204,506 as of the end of today and many knowledgeable scientists are saying that if we keep up what we are doing we will see far more deaths in the coming months.  Risk analysis always involves assessing risk, trying to mitigate it, then deciding whether it is worth it.  Pretending risk doesn't exist does not make the risk go away, but it does cause unnecessary harm, sometimes death, when we refuse to acknowledge it.  When one drives a car, an activity far, far riskier than flying, one usually tries to follow the rules of the road to minimize the risk.  It isn't a binary issue.  It's a matter of degree.  And when people take risks for their own personal reasons that can seriously hurt or kill innocent people, we generally make that kind of risk taking a crime.  Still there are those who will do it anyway.

Good point . Thank you so much . I’m kinda hesitant with the bunks bec that’s what we currently have (a keystone passport ) and while my eldest who is now 21 used to sleep on it she didn’t really like it she said and my 2 younger boys now just simply loves to have playtime in it but wouldn’t sleep on it . My 8 yr old would rather sleep on the dinette when folded down as a bed so we are really looking to downgrade size wise as the double bunks that we have right now are just wasted space. Really appreciate your input but am now convinced I wouldn’t just simply settle for what’s in the lot .

Interesting reactions from your kids on the bunk beds. 

The other consideration of course is what you're planning to tow with. Sadly, we have many folks join us on the forum who have been sold way too big a trailer to safely and comfortably tow with their vehicle. I personally don't mind that the RV salespeople try to sell you what's on their lot but when they knowingly sell them a big trailer when they are towing with a little SUV I think it borders on criminality.

In your case it sounds like you are knowledgeable about towing but I just thought I'd mention that because a few times we've seen folks downsizing trailers downsize their tow vehicle too much.

Have fun finding what you want and don't settle for what you don't.

Lol yeah I know my eldest girl slept on it when she was 16 already that’s probably why not sure but she did do it lol . With my two younger boys now would play in it but when it comes to sleeping time my 8 yr old wouldn’t want to sleep there 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Thanks for asking about what our towing vehicle is . We will be towing it with a Nissan Armada .

Interesting about the kids. I love my bunk beds and I pushing 60. I sleep on the top one. I'ts such a great option for group/family travel I wonder if you couldn't entice the kids by letting the redecorate in the coolest new kid thing.

Facts are facts.  Sometimes we don't like them and try to pretend they don't exist, but it doesn't change anything.

Kids get used to changes really quickly.  It's we on the upper end of the scale who have a hard time adjusting to new stuff.  The kids would probably do fine with bunk beds as they explore new possibilities, but some encouragement may be necessary.  If they can both sleep in the dinette bed, and only 4 are going to be in the trailer, it would be a little crowded but it would also work.
