RV Converts from Family Bunkhouse to Office & Den • 2024 Eagle 355MBQS Fifth Wheel by Jayco

7:51 Josh you never disappoint with the 80s & 90s references.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

😉 it’s really all I got 😆

[@pattyolson3842]

I saw something recently that would remedy those steps to the loft to make them more "barefoot friendly." They took a pool noodle that you can get from the dollar store and cut it to size, then made a horizontal cut, and BAM! You get cushioned steps on the 🪜

[@justindavis1546]

We used that idea. It worked great but be ready to replace the noodles after a while.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Good idea!!

[@pattyolson3842]

@@justindavis1546 They aren't too costly. Buy a few at a time, so you have an extra when you need it.

[@dianedenham5259]

Wow, great idea!

[@pattyolson3842]

This is a great floor plan! I really like the versatility of the mid bunk room. On a rainy day, kids could play with a few toys/ video game 🎮 that may be stowed in a bin on the loft. I like the desk, drawers & upper cabinets & that the bunk lifts up. I agree that on side of the bathroom vanity should be left open for a small trashcan, + for the doors on the bathroom storage cabinet.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I totally agree!

[@stevekochinskas5301]

Josh, love the floor plan. My wife and I bought ours in February as a couples trailer, but mid room and couch are great for guests. The only thing not in your video is the mention of the odometer in the trailer. The only bad part in the trailer Floorplan is that when the bathroom slide door is closed, you can not open the right side door of the sink cabinet. Thank you for all your videos that you make. You are the absolute best at what you do!!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Wow ty Steve!

[@athomewithjenny]

I don't usually look at bunkhouse type campers at all but that room is pretty cool! It definitely could be a great work from home office! This gives me something to think about. We plan on going full time in a couple of years and this is a good one.

[@lauratopliffe8179]

Same. This would make me reconsider.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That’s what’s cool about these I think - it’s so much more than just a bunkhouse

[@justindavis1546]

When I full timed in and RV I loved the floor heat. My ferret would try and lay on them any time he was free to run around.

[@ifixtruckz]

ive got this same exact rig, i live fulltime in it. 4 months so far and i love it. few issues with plumbing leaks. but its been solid. i gutted the bunk room and made it my office. 2 40" monitors on a desk where the sofa was. the bunk room is huge once you pull everything out. you have to take the couch apart and the door off and it still barely fits to take it out. the shower sliding glass door is absolute trash. i ripped that out and put a curtain and rod. the seal job was terrible and it leaked. i had to replace all the p traps because they were cracked and dripping. i got a washer and separate dryer, they fit great and i love them but they are so noisy its impossible to sleep when they are running. be nice if they could have put those somewhere else. i think if the master closet and bathroom could be reversed, this would be an amazing setup. i just leave the top bunk made up and looking nice with pillows, so guest have somewhere to stay. the bunk is a whole lot more comfortable than the fold outs. i sure wish there was a dedicated silverware drawer and paper towel holder in the kitchen, and waste bucket in the bathroom. i also put a full residential size purple king mattress. fits like a glove. also, i swapped the fridge outside and put the griddle in there. fits and functions perfect. for some reason my window above the stove doesnt open and its solid. i absolutely hate that i cant open that window while i cook.

Almost 300K Subs Josh! Been here since 20K... Keep up the entertaining information!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Wow that’s a long time! Ty!

[@chadkoller7809]

I agree Josh buttons are full proof I’m not sure why they need to make it complicated

[@justindavis1546]

Less computer and complication means less to worry about failing.

[@stevez340]

Perfect residential living area with a sofa, theater seating and a table and chairs combined with an incredible office area or bunkroom for kids👍👍👍and their use of plywood over Grand Design’s use of OSB is a welcome bonus💥

[@RichardoBrit]

Charles in Charge - wow - great reference!

Lol

[@briankrone2631]

This one definitely checks a lot of boxes especially for a BH....great job again Uncle Josh

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yes it does!

Wireless keyboard and huge moniter set on the couch and surf or play games

[@lindataylor4122]

Thanks Nerd!!!!!!!

[@Brigand231]

Wow, this floorplan is fairly solid all around, except for (as you mentioned) the dealbreaking floor vents. Sorry, Jayco, I guess we're still saving our pennies for a Reflection 341 RDS. Thanks, Uncle Josh! P.S. I'm glad Uncle Josh is in charge of our RV video days and nights.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I can’t remember - is that 341 still in production or was it retired?

[@Brigand231]

@@JoshtheRVNerd As far as we can tell, yeah, it's been retired. They only made it for a couple years, it seems. We'll have to wait for you to get in a used one on trade or something.

[@lauratopliffe8179]

This is the only reason I'd consider a bunkhouse. I usually don't even watch your BH reviews because I'm not interested.

[@pegatheetoo1437]

I'm that way with the w/d on the ends of the closet, so you have to dig through your clean clothes to get at them. I see that, and I'm done watching.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Totally get it. Ty

[@JandAReview1]

This is one of our favorite middle room floorplans. Thank you Josh!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Mine too!

[@MrNickb-s500]

Josh I really really lie this Jayco Eagle, I love everything about it except placement of black tank sewer hook-up. Everything wlse on this one I love plus in floor heat vents which I love👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Ty Nick! Where would you prefer the sewer hookup?

[@Patricksmancave]

Love this lay out. Love all of the door side window. Love how felx able the table is. Love that big kitchen. Like all of the storage in the kitchen. Like the mide buck room. I would use it as a offe. The bathroom is nice. Like the 6 point leveling. Thank you josh!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Glad you like it!

[@pegatheetoo1437]

I've been thinking about a bunkhouse and what my perfect arrangement would be (more like a guest room). I'd have the desk side pretty much as it is, except the desk would pull out (like the kitchen table does) to make a larger area to do jigsaw puzzles. On the bed side, just have the upper bunk gone, & make a storage area (higher up than the top bunk was), and absolutely no loft. Not quite as large as a second bedroom but very functional for me, even without guests. 😊

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thank you for watching!

[@krisjordan8037]

We have a 2023 Cougar 368MBI. That loft is straight storage! But my son is 6’2” and 220 pounds. He’s not going up in the loft! I do really like this unit, there are certainly things I like better than our Cougar mid-bunk. We usually throw a full size air mattress on the folding sofa in the mid-bunk room. It is impossible to walk around once we do that. It looks like this one may have enough room to walk in front of such a set up. Great video as always Josh! Thank you! #nerdherd

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

My pleasure! ty

[@daveb7408]

Camera pointing at the bed. Rob Lowe approves.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Wow 😆

[@JaredJanhsen]

I wonder if any appliance manufacturers are working on a smaller heat pump combo washer/dryer for RVs. The new units that have come on the market from GE, Samsung, and LG have been a game-changer since they only need 120V and require no vent.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I haven’t seen anything like that..

[@Cowboy47]

#RVNerdHerd 🎉 😊 🎉

[@WhereRVStaying]

Love it!

[@journeyhome98]

It’s nice to see that they didn’t put in the frameless windows (which I think all manufacturers should do away with given there is zero air flow with them). I might not call Jayco… “Junko” … with this unit. It looks nice.

[@texillini1]

Nice unit

[@chadkoller7809]

Amazing camp site view

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It really is!

[@chriscalvin5083]

Good video Josh

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thanks!

[@lindabalts7884]

Yes storage

[@JohnBorgen]

I really love the layout. But that length is just too far. I'm still really happy with my Flagstaff 528MBS (And I'm using the mid-bunk as an office)

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That flagstaff is one of the shortest mid bunks I’ve ever seen

[@JohnBorgen]

@@JoshtheRVNerd You definitely take a hit in living space. Because we're using it as a couples-camper, it works. Otherwise...I think it's too cramped inside of the weather turns foul.

[@derrickgreenwell8727]

I know you just put this out 3 weeks ago but I would love to see you do the 25s that are starting to hit the Lots now. I know there's a few differences I seen about on today and in the kitchen had a single larger sink and the pantry near the TV was gone so the counter space was bigger. They also said the filtered water spout is gone and now the unit comes with this really high tech water filtration system. I know there's more differences and I would love to see you go through it in detail showing them the way you do

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I actually already have a half dozen eagles recorded for 2025 and coming soon

How.would.you fix the.slide left of the entrance door if it was stuck in the.closed position?

[@clintoncoey9840]

Wait, if the frig was running, how did you catch it?! 😂

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Golf cart 👍🏻

[@LarryJacobs-y1x]

Why doesn’t Jayco offer a rear kitchen floor plan on the Eagle like on the pinnacle?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

size probably. That pinnacle FBRK is massive. Eagle has historically had a decently successful rear kitchen of its own as well

[@danherber6311]

Is this or something very similar available in a bumper pull ?

[@justindavis1546]

The dry weight on one of these would be beyond legal bumper (receiver) limits.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Not really. Mid bunks require a lot of length. Some trailer makers have tried it but none have been successful

[@billosborn9600]

Looks like a Brinkley Z3610 copy with a few mods. I think Brinkley did it much better.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

To be fair Brinkely is by far the newer MFG who built this layout much later than pretty much everyone. It gave them an awesome way to sort of see where they could make improvements from other designs

[@billosborn9600]

@@JoshtheRVNerd I was thinking the interior and exterior colors... but fair point.
