1. I definitely appreciate that you show rigs with all the slides in. 2. I like the kitchen lights, too :-) 3. We need a midbunk room for a dedicated office for our ministry. 4. You are right about how when they add sleeping space, they take away sitting space! Our next rig must have enough space to host small gatherings/ Bible Studies...... You have saved us SO much time shopping and helped us to really hone our must-have list. And you are so stinkin' funny! Thank you, Brother!!!!!!!

Josh - another great video!

Josh - Hypothetically speaking - would this be a good RV to tow with a 2020 F-250 - turbo diesel crew cab 4x4 SWB? I’m narrowing down between this floor plan and the 316RLS. Hitch weight is close to the same. Length is not. As always - many thanks!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Most Likely, BUT without a few specific specs I cannot say with great confidence one way or the other

[@tamararampold4165]

I like the midbunks that have a door to the living area. You can let the littles play there without worrying they're going to head out the door, if you don't want them to. I have to say you nailed the reason we want a midbunk. We have a 24 year old son with Down syndrome who brings so much stuff camping! He needs a place for his stuff; we need it to be out of our way. And the bunkhouse in the back seems to close in the living space too much. This also gives us the option of bringing the grands and letting him have the loft or using as a craft area if he doesn't go with us. Lots of options. This really is a great design. Kudos to Keystone.

The mid-bunk should have a desk incorporated under the little counter. They could remove shelves below and allow a space for a chair. They could also have drawers next to the chair space. That would be great for someone to do work, hobbies or kids doing school work.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah I think it's a pretty easy swap pulling those drawers to convert to an office

[@genevievebrunet28]

I like the midbunk. I'd have the door facing entrance with a pocket door, and the option of flip up/down shelves to put down a book or laptop and use the doorway as an office space. Also in mid bunk, have sailors bunk above couch. Love the sunroof and big window in the loft and panoramic window next to door. I would add little fold down shelves next toaster bed to put down a book and cup of water. It would be nice to have little built in reading lights

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY for the feedback!

[@christopherjohnpaul5591]

My take on the middle room: • I prefer the entry door in the hallway and a coffee bar in the kitchen where the door would be. • I would use the middle room as my private sleeping quarters. We camp a week at a time and I commute to work. I need my own space for quiet and privacy.

I love this midbunk layout. We currently have a 2019 Cougar 29BHS and love it! I love having the 2nd door that opens to the bathroom that gives us access to the back of the camper when the slide is closed. The thing I love about this midbunk is the separate room for a guest. There was a time we had 2 non-married adults stay with us and the sleeping arrangements were less than stellar. This midbunk would solve that. However, I feel like I would lose the night stands we currently have next to our king bed. My husband has a cap. The seating in the midbunk would be much better than what we currently have. We would also lose our outdoor mini fridge and kitchen storage space. It's just a give and take.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY for sharing some insights here! I like how you can see the give/take of the layout :)

I like the midbunks that have a door across from the entryway. In the larger segment of midbunks, having the door across from the entry allows the kitchen to gain a breakfast counter area, and every inch of RV kitchen counterspace matters.

[@seanmonts2159]

I would use that mid bunk as an office. I would rip out the cabinets under the desk/ counter area. The upper bunk would be storage.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I had a similar thought!

[@mike_adams]

Entry from kitchen is the best of the configurations. With entry off the hall, the desk is shorter, reduced cabinet/storage, smaller tv size. Additionally, when the room is in sleeping mode (trifold sofa open into a bed) with the hall door config, the door hits the bed and you have to squeeze in to close the door.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thanks for sharing! That all helps -- a lot actually.

💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 a king bed option in the Cougar 5th wheel. What happened? I just LOVE Cougar‼️‼️ You are SO awesome, Josh, so happy to hear it’s got a a stand alone dining table. 💃🏻 Ooo, and I have to say I really like that there is a window near the stove. I like the extra natural lighting there. I like the door off the kitchen because then you get a longer desk space and more storage all that. My husband would use this space as his music room where he can play his guitars without listening to me making noise or when I’m watching a movie. Love the shower with the seat and the bathroom counter top. It’s all good in there. You guys are super about outfitting a second air in the bedroom. That’s a must for me. Oooo, I like the little corner cabinet in the closet. I like that the outlets are up and easy to access as you said. And I like that there are breeze through windows on each side of the bed. All that sleeping areas are fantastic. Love the dual awnings. This unit is just perfect especially with a stand alone dining room. Like the griddle outside and the more ride steps. The stinky slinky storage is appreciated. I like the color combo for the exterior. Jeez, just everything’s just FINE. Inversion groove.. FANTASTIC!! I’m just so excited that Cougar has put a king bed option in their 5th wheel. I think we’ve found the one, Josh!!!!!

[@rvtherenow7454]

I prefer the midbunk/bonus room door across from the front door. From what we have seen, when the door is in the kitchen, you lose more kitchen countertop and storage space. Also, when the kids are playing in the midbunk and the door opens right out to the kitchen and living room, you hear more noise.

[@joycedouthwright3673]

[@vincebotkin1960]

It’s amazing how the furniture looks to change color. That is because of the use of LED lights. They put out the bright white light, yet it is in the blue light spectrum. Hence the color appearance change.

The natural lighting + digital processing also causes some wacky color change effects as well.

What are those?! We aren't very familiar with fifth wheels so don't know what those compartments are.

[@nicolestauffer6751]

At first I would have said off the kitchen, but now that I've seen some other layouts (like the Grand Design midbunk 378MBS) I would definitely say off the hallway/main entry so you don't have to sacrifice more potential kitchen storage on the wall. Now that I've seen it that way, I can't un-see the lost storage potential.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I feel that way as well. Personally mid-room entry from the hallway makes the most sense, but I think it depends on what you're attempting to accomplish Mid-room entry off the kitchen typically allows for more of a "bonus room / office / den" function in there vs. focus on the kitchen. I guess it just depends on how you camp

Great review Josh, been watching the “coming soon” inventory placeholder from y’all’s site for a couple months now. Great to see some actuals features on this coach. Bet it moves before months end.

Our 5th wheel is not a mid bunk but I feel that a kitchen entry to the MB takes away kitchen storage. We all want as much kitchen storage as possible.

[@riduandunia6591]

If you got teens and the mid-bunk is accessed from the kitchen, you'll never see the teens! They will bolt to the mid-bunk and then 5 minutes later step out of the mid-bunk into the kitchen and the refrigerator and then bolt back into the mid-bunk. If there were a half bath in the mid-bunk, you could close up the rv and keep the teens inside of the rv. Just think of all of the extra room in the cab of the truck!

That's how I always liked it as well, but reading some comments folks make a good point regarding how that eats into the middle room's storage/entertainment I think it depends on how you plan to use the room. * Kitchen-side Mid Room Entry is more of an "Office" * Door-Side Mid Room Entry is more of a "Bunk Room" But.. they can both swing either way really

[@jeroldkiekhafer7141]

I have a 2020 and I like how they rearranged the refrigerator and sink on the 2021. At times I wish the mid bunk area door was on the door side so you could get in there in transit but I like the entertainment arrangement of the wall and really appreciate that more at the camp site. I also like the new colors on the inside and the window shades. One thing I don't like is that they removed the TV and enclosure in the master bedroom that mine still has.

Hey Josh, whats the hallway width on this mbi? Need kennel space when underway. Thankyou..

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I wish they gave us full engineering schematics with specs down to that degree. Unfortunately they do not. I'd have to ask you to contact our team at 800-256-5196. In return for a fair shake at working with you when you're ready they can contact the factory to request that spec

[@BruceMyersLBZ]

@@JoshtheRVNerd will do. Out of PA, have 2018 GD 376TH looking 2 trade in on this model couger mid bunk

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@BruceMyersLBZ The good news is cougar is pretty consistent with things, so the hallway width of any "Big Cougar" fifth wheel should pretty much be the same since they re-use that bedroom and bathroom commonly

[@Chris.Donley]

I get why this floorpan is so popular, love it. My one and only complaint, in the bunk room, why they put those darn cabinets and floor vent below the desk/countertop area so you could actually use a rolling chair in that spots as desk space. With those bottom cabinets and floor vent, it's a no go. Easy Fix keystone, Fix that one.....

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Not so easy to change heating systems like that actually, but not impossible. I 100% get what you're saying here

[@debbieslawnbusters]

Not crazy about floor vents..but otherwise CRAZY ABOUT THIS ONE... OFFICE.SECOND BEDROOM AND PRIVATE QUARTERS.. Again...another great job..love you..

[@JohnReuter]

Will the factory modify the BH desk to remove the drawers so it can be used as an office desk?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

They will not from the factory level. That's stuff that's still an aftermarket swap at this point. I've been VERY vocal with builders about offering desk options and will continue to pass that along

[@JohnReuter]

@@JoshtheRVNerd When you say aftermarket swap do you mean the dealership can perform before delivery of the unit? Thank you for the quick reply.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@JohnReuter Meaning anything not done by the factory. We can do it. You could do it. Either way :)

All the midbunks that we looked at with doors by the entryway just felt smaller... more like an afterthought.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY for the feedback. I'm in and out of so many I don't "feel" that, but my perspective is sometimes skewed by exposure

[@mikeweisenborn1678]

I love the new style and it's a pretty good floorplan overall, but no nightstands is not only a functional but an aesthetic negative for me. We would probably choose a queen for additional walk-around space -- so what does it look like with a queen? Do they actually put nightstands along both sides of the bed inside the slide (not on the face)? Also, do you know what is under that bed that makes the storage so shallow? Thanks for what you do!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Queen doesn't add night stands, but room for them on either side. Eagle does a good job of that. Queens in an eagle DO get night stance.

Not enough kitchen cabinets and counter space.

[@OmahaWayne]

For size and price thats a nice setup. However for us at 40 feet long (which is just outside our range) it would need to have better counter space. Without place for a coffee pot there is no way I could bring that home :)

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Ironically... I think the kitchen is better in the SMALLER Cougar mid bunk seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHnXq6mLn6mroqc That'll likely fit into your size preferences better as well!

[@AdeleMyra]

Hi Josh, I just have a quick question. Is the loft big enough for an adult? We have an adult sized 13 year old that would want to use the loft.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Absolutely. If I wasn't wearing boots in the cold I'd have climbed in there

[@laronloe7010]

Just wondering if this has a generator or at least the option to put one in

Cougar does not offer a factory generator, but typically their front compartments are large enough for a generator upfit. Our team could verify that here for you in return for the opportunity to earn your business of course!

What are the maximum TV sizes that will fit in the mid bunk room and the bedroom? I cant seem to find this anywhere?! Also it looks like there are hinges and a flip up on the one side of the basement. What is that for?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

MFGs do not provide listings for max TV sizes so it's something we need to measure for you individually Can you provide a minute market for your basement hinge question so I can see what you mean? I *think* you're referencing a little storage/tool box style cover they include by their hookups

@@JoshtheRVNerd 15:40 to the left of the water center and valves. Is that a storage for water/sewer supplies?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@jonathanreis6242 THANK YOU for that marker. Super Helpful. Basically it's just like a little chest. MOST FWs have a drop-down there. Cougars do as well, but they've long added that flip up/down "lid" there for easier cargo access & to have a spot for tools or something small.

[@saravaezi2001]

Can we put an older kid up in the loft bed ? What is the weight capacity? I wish you would mention that. Thanks

[@mike_adams]

We have a bunch of stats on this since we are actively researching midbunks for purchase in next 90days. For this one (cougar 368) you can get a teenager up there. 24” head clearance and if I remember correctly 600 pounds weight capacity. This cougar is a great price point for a mid bunk .. but for “our” needs we’re leaning towards the Jayco Northpoint 377rlbh (with 22” clearance) and/or the Cedar Creek 377bh with 26” clearance. The Montana HighCountry has 20” head clearance and would be very difficult for a teen.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

600 or 800lbs. I have to cover a lot and can't always get every detail. A quick call to our sales team is always available for whatever specifics you may want any time!

[@tracyoberholtzer278]

Can the MB be ordered without the couch? More office space. Nicer desk.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Factories don't typically like even removing things due to the oversight it requires when you deviate from the norm. We could call. Likely you wouldn't save any money & we could just as easily remove it for you. Either way we'd love a shot at that for you!
