I think your best bet is simply to do a google search using the term bunkhouse rv manufacturers and start looking around. I know that travel supreme used to make a real nice one as a friend has one and I'm jealous after seeing it. Unfortunately they are out of business now.

IIRC Keystone specifically states in their warranty that their units are NOT built for full timing and will void the warranty if used in that manner. I seem to recall some complaints in the Trailer Life ombudsman column regarding claims that were denied.

I would not consider jayco brand for full time use. I do know they took control of the plans and jigs for the old travel supreme brand but I have neither seen any built by them nor heard of any yet.

Most of the real full time brands like Excel, Carriage and New Horizons are going to be pricey. I do know that New Horizons will build to suit but you WILL pay pretty high for it as they consider themselves pretty "upper crust" manufacturers. Another custom builder, Spacecraft, will also build to suit but they cost quite a bit too. These units also require substantial tow vehicles, usually in excess of a 1 ton PU's capabilities for safe towing.
