Why almost all floorplans have bedroom in the front?

[brightsky]

when you back in RV in an RV campsite, the bedroom is close to the drive way if the bedroom is in the front, which means more noisy or less clean air. Why almost all floorplans have bedroom in the front? Thanks.

Couldn't tell you. We are all owners of Jaycos. We don't build them. But I see your point. Maybe it is because the scenery is at the rear of most sites, so that is where they put the living space? My unit is a bunk house, so we have bedrooms on both ends. Unfortunately, I don't think the people that design RVs have ever used one.

Just spitballing here, but most TTs have a semblance of aerodynamics at the front. The reduced headroom works fine for a bed but would not be so comfortable for stand-up living space. Or maybe it has to do with weight distribution — more (or less) from a mattress and pass-through storage than a dinette/kitchen? Whatever the reason, as Scott notes, having a real-living trailer, I like it this way.

Not with motor homes.

I would either agree with LuckyDuck or say weight distribution.

It's all in what sells....Years ago all bedrooms were in the back.

Our first new trailer, a 1986 Fleetwood 24C was a "revolutionary" trailer as it had the kitchen in the front. SWMBO* loved it because she could cook without having to "rub everybody's butt" as they went to the back of the trailer!

Doesn't sound reasonable to me. If you're backing into the campsite you're backing in from the road. The rear of the trailer is the furthest section of the trailer from the road not the closest.

Our 2017 Pinnacle 38FLSA has a front living room. This works for us, but does tend to make the floor plan less open. Since the living room is on another level, the impression of separation is more pronounced. We chose this plan after having multiple problems with the large Schwintek slide on our North Point. The Pinnacle has 5 small slides which have caused no problems. I kind of miss the front bedroom layout from time to time, but both ways work.
