Spacious and Flexible Layouts in the Access 30BH
A standout aspect of the 30BH is its spacious layout that offers both a big super slide and a private bedroom.
This layout also introduces a fully enclosed private bunk room, a feature that remains quite rare in the industry. The private bunkhouse adds a touch of convenience, allowing individuals to move freely without disturbing others during the night.
Moreover, the bunk room can easily transform into a walk-in closet or an office space, offering a level of versatility that adapts to your changing needs.
This particular feature sets the Winnebago 30BH apart as not just a family bunk model, but a flexible space that can serve various purposes, enhancing the overall functionality of the RV.
Interior Innovations: Access 30BH Has a Refreshing Take
One of the notable characteristics of the 30BH is its departure from the typical stick and tin aesthetics. The interiors of this model do not resemble the traditional stick and tin camper, presenting a sleek and attractive design that defies expectations.

Winnebago Access 30BH Pros and Cons
Winnebago Access 30BH Pros:
- Competitive Pricing Strategy: The 30BH model is positioned as a price-aggressive option in Winnebago’s lineup, making it an appealing choice for budget-conscious consumers looking to enjoy Winnebago’s renowned quality and innovative features without a hefty price tag.
- Versatile Bunk Room: The 30BH model features a fully enclosed private bunk room that can function not only as a sleeping area but can also be transformed into an office or walk-in closet, offering versatility for various needs.
- Interior Design and Height: The RV has a refreshing interior with a light, bright color palette and higher ceilings (6ft 8in) than usual, borrowing design features from their mini laminated series, which gives it a more spacious and luxurious feel.
Winnebago Access 30BH Cons:
- Limited Window Coverage on Campsite Side: Despite its many features, the floor plan does not emphasize campsite window coverage, potentially limiting the natural light and views of the surroundings from inside the RV.
- Possible Lack in Storage Space: Potentially limited dresser space in the bunk room, which might pose a challenge for accommodating personal items, especially for extended stays.
- Budget-Conscious Design: While a plus for many value-minded families, this trailer was designed to be budget-friendly and may not appeal to those who are looking for luxury features and options.
Who is the Access 30BH a Good Fit For?
The 30BH is a Good Fit for:
- Families with Children: The 30BH features a private bunk room, which can be excellent for families with children, providing a separate space for kids to sleep and play.
- Remote Workers: The private bunk room can potentially be transformed into an office, making this model an excellent choice for people who are looking to customize their space according to their needs.
- Budget-Conscious Buyers: Given its competitive pricing strategy, this RV model might appeal to budget-conscious buyers who are looking for a quality RV without a hefty price tag.
The 30Bh is a Bad Fit for:
- Those Seeking Expansive Window Views on the Campsite: The transcript mentions that the floor plan doesn’t offer substantial campsite window coverage, which might disappoint buyers who prioritize having expansive views from inside their RV.
- Individuals Looking for an Ultra-Spacious Layout: Although the model has a super slide living room offering some space, it might not be the best option for those looking for an ultra-spacious layout, particularly concerning the private bunk room and front bedroom areas which some may find to be a bit cramped.
- Traditional Cooking Enthusiasts: The RV has replaced the traditional propane oven with a convection microwave, which might not be suitable for those who prefer a classic oven setup for their cooking needs.
