A couple times a year a floorplan shows up and my first reaction is: why did nobody do this earlier? The 2027 Impression 37MB2B is one of those. It’s a mid-bunk fifth wheel with a half bath inside the bunk room — accessible from the bunk room and from the living area — plus a loft, and a fan that pulls conditioned air down into the space so the kids aren’t roasting behind a closed door.
I see every mid-bunk fifth wheel that comes out. This might be my new favorite. Here’s the walkthrough.

What I Liked
The half bath is in the bunk room, and that changes everything. It’s accessible from inside the bunk room and from the living area. Kids don’t have to walk through the coach at 2 a.m., guests on the sofa don’t have to use your bathroom, and nobody’s waiting on anybody in the morning. This is the feature I’d been waiting for someone to build.
The air draw into the bunk room. This is the one that made me stop. Lofts trap heat, and mid-bunk rooms with the door closed usually depend on air free-flowing from the main cabin — which it doesn’t. Impression added a powered fan that pulls conditioned air down into the space. Flip it on and the room stays as cool as the rest of the coach. It’s a small part solving a problem the whole segment has just lived with.
The bunk room isn’t just a bunk room. A full sofa with a pull-out trundle for extra sleeping, a collapsible desk, a large smart TV, pull-out drawers, and the loft above. Office, gaming room, movie den, guest suite — it flexes. If you don’t have kids you’d still use this space.
The round table. Impression introduced it last year and it’s still the right call. It gives you counter space and a place to play cards without eating the walkway the way a dinette does. Paired with the oversized sofa, everybody has somewhere to sit on a rainy day and the room doesn’t feel closed in.
The rear kitchen is compact but complete. Solid surface counters, a dishwasher, three-burner range, microwave, floor-to-ceiling pantry, deep task sink with the full accessory set, and three pull-out drawers. They even turned the vent chase into a spice rack — no wasted space.
Two exterior refrigerators. They swapped the old outdoor kitchen griddle setup for two outside fridges. I bring my own griddle anyway, so I agree with the move. Outside refrigeration is what you actually reach for at a campsite.
The 60K on-demand water heater. Bigger than the 45K I run in my own coach, and mine keeps up fine. You will not run out of hot water in this thing.
Attention to finish detail. Impression isn’t the fanciest brand, but they put money where it shows. Proper caulking where a lot of builders just slap a piece of trim over the gap. Wallpaper backsplash instead of tile, which keeps the price honest while still looking sharp.
Head height and flush floors. Roughly 6’4″ through the slide on both sides with flush-mount floor slides throughout. As a big guy, that’s the difference between a coach I can move around in and one I’m ducking through.
Bathroom done right. Backlit mirror, porcelain foot flush toilet, tri-glide glass shower door, and a nicer shower head than most at this price. I gave it a 1.4 to 1.5 on the roundy rating and 1.6 to 1.7 on the flat, with a built-in ledge for shaving.
What To Know Before You Buy
The name says two bath — it’s a bath and a half. Full bath in the main coach, half bath in the bunk room. That’s still more bathroom than almost any comparable floorplan, but I’d rather you hear it from me than find out on the lot.
Pack with the cargo number in mind. 2,477 lb of capacity on a coach built for a family. That’s workable, but a full fresh tank plus six people’s gear adds up quicker than most buyers expect. Load it the way you’ll actually travel and run it across a CAT scale once.
This is a brand new floorplan. Forest River just added it to the lineup. New floorplans get refined across the first production year, so it’s worth asking your dealer which run your unit came from.
Who This RV Is For
Families who want the kids to have their own bathroom. That’s the headline and it’s genuinely rare. Combine it with the loft, the trundle and the sofa and you sleep a full family without anybody sharing a space they resent.
Anyone who works from the road. The bunk room with a collapsible desk, a TV, its own door and its own bathroom is a legitimate office. Close the door and you’re in a separate room, not a corner of the living area.
Multi-generational travelers. Grandparents up front, kids in the back, and a half bath between them means nobody’s crossing the coach in the middle of the night.
Buyers who want features per dollar. Impression sits at the crossover point where you get a dishwasher, solid surface counters, a 60K on-demand water heater and dual awnings without paying for imported cabinetry and a badge premium.
Who Should Skip It
- Couples with no guests — you’re towing 43 feet for a room you’d use as storage. Look at the 360MYR instead.
- Anyone at the edge of a 3/4-ton’s payload — 2,290 lb dry pin climbs once you load it.
- Serious boondockers — 200W of solar standard and a family’s worth of water use.
- Small-park campers — 43 feet rules out a fair number of older sites.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 37MB2B stand for?
MB is mid-bunk and 2B refers to the two bathrooms. In practice it’s a bath and a half — a full bath in the main coach and a half bath inside the bunk room.
What truck do I need for the Impression 37MB2B?
Dry pin weight is 2,290 lb on a 13,023 lb coach. Loaded, plan on a well-equipped 3/4-ton at minimum, and check your truck’s payload sticker rather than its tow rating.
How many people does it sleep?
Front bedroom, a trifold hide-a-bed in the living area, the bunk room sofa with a pull-out trundle, and the loft above. A full family fits without anybody drawing the short straw.
Does the bunk room stay cool?
Yes, and that’s one of the best things about this floorplan. There’s a powered fan that draws conditioned air down into the bunk room and loft, so it stays cool even with the door closed. Most mid-bunks depend on air free-flowing from the main cabin, which is why they get hot.
Does it come with a dishwasher?
The dishwasher comes through the Diamond Package along with the 16 cu ft 12V refrigerator, solid surface countertops, washer and dryer, and barstool seating. Confirm the specific unit on the lot is equipped.
Can I add more solar?
Yes. 200 watts comes standard with a 30-amp controller and side prep in place. You can build up to roughly 500 watts without fighting the factory wiring.
