“Bunkhouse trailer” means two different things depending on who is asking. To an RV person it is a travel trailer with extra bunks. To a camp operator it is a dorm trailer full of sleeping rooms. A crew can use either one, and most large jobs use both.
Bunkhouse travel trailers
A travel trailer floor plan with bunks, a full kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, and heat and air. It sleeps six or more, and each trailer stands on its own: no shared showers, no separate kitchen. It is the right fit for a small crew, a rotation that wants its own space, or a site that cannot take a large camp.
Sleeper trailers (dorm and bunk trailers)
Multi-room sleeper trailers, also called dorm, bunk, or sleep trailers, built to put a large crew in beds next to the work. They are paired with shower and restroom trailers and laundry trailers, and often with kitchen and dining units, to make a full camp. When the crew runs into the dozens, this is how it gets housed. See man camp housing for project camps and disaster relief base camps for response work.
Everything a crew needs, one invoice
One contact runs the order. Delivery, setup, utility connections, scheduled service visits, and pickup are all included in the plan, and every unit is on one invoice, billed directly to the company.

FAQ
What is the difference between a bunkhouse trailer and a dorm trailer?
A bunkhouse travel trailer is an RV floor plan with extra bunks, a kitchen, and a bathroom, and it sleeps six or more. A dorm trailer, also called a sleeper trailer, bunk trailer, or sleep trailer, is a multi-room unit built only for sleeping, used with separate shower and laundry trailers. We deploy both.
What is a sleeper trailer?
A trailer built only for sleeping: several small rooms with beds and climate control, and no kitchen. Utilities and response contractors use them to house line crews at a storm basecamp, paired with shower, restroom, and laundry trailers. We deploy them with the rest of the camp on one invoice.
Do you rent bunkhouse trailers for crews?
Yes. They come delivered, leveled, connected by licensed, insured contractors, and serviced on a schedule while the crew is there. We pick them up when the job ends.
How many people can you house?
From a single trailer to a full camp. Tell us the head count and the location and we lay out the mix of units to fit the crew and the ground.
Can you add showers and laundry?
Yes. Shower and restroom trailers, laundry trailers, and kitchen, dining, and office units go on the same order and the same invoice as the sleeping units.
