Headroom for bunks in 17B

We're looking at the Escape 17B - most of the time it will be just us two adults but sometimes we'll be camping with our 2 grandsons. The gaucho bunk looks like a good option for them but I'm wondering how much headroom there is for both the lower and upper bunks?

On my 2006 17b, the lower bunk has 21 inches of headroom, I usually sleep there.

The upper bunk has 15 to 17 inches of headroom under the cabinets. There is a light fixture under the middle of each cabinet with 15 inches of headroom, the rest of the cabinet headroom is 17 inches. I suppose I could remove one light fixture to give my kids more headroom as it is getting tight for them now that they are 18 and 20.

In fact, I am going to remove one light fixture today. They get all the light they need from their phones anyway; why didn’t I think of that before? If we ever use the front dinette, I will reinstall the light. Cool, something fun to do.

If your kid is less than 5 feet tall, he could sleep on the upper bunk without having his head under a cabinet.

I suspect the headroom on a new trailer is very similar.

Our kids like the bunks, with a curtain they have their own space.

I like the bottom bunk.
