01 What makes it unique
The 30FB Bunk is the only Flying Cloud built for a full family. Twin bunks sit alongside a private front queen, and with the dinette in play the plan sleeps eight — the highest capacity in the line by a wide margin.
Everything scales up to match. It's the only plan with dual air conditioning as standard (and the 50-amp service to run it), the biggest fresh tank in the line at 53 gallons, and a 9.7-cubic-foot refrigerator sized for stocking a week of family meals off-grid. The galley and storage are the largest the Flying Cloud offers.
That capability comes at the top of the weight chart: 6,700 pounds dry, an 8,800-pound GVWR, and 900 pounds on the hitch. This is a full-size-truck trailer, full stop — and at 31 feet it asks more of your driveway, your campsite selection, and your storage than any other Flying Cloud.

These graphics are generated from the same verified record that builds the table above, and are published under this site’s own licence — nothing here is traced from, or derived from, a manufacturer drawing or photo. Where a figure is not published for this plan, the graphic that would need it is omitted rather than estimated. The full record is in the published dataset.
What it takes to tow this
Built from this floorplan’s verified weights. We publish the trailer side only.
We do not publish tow ratings for specific trucks. A single model can vary by thousands of pounds depending on engine, axle ratio, cab, drivetrain and package — the only authoritative figure is the one on your own door jamb. Loaded tongue percentages are industry convention for travel trailers (10–15% of loaded weight), not a measurement of this unit. Hitch classes are not used here as a rating: SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR and does not define Class V, and capacity boundaries differ between manufacturers — read the rating stamped on your hitch. On this plan the convention band’s low end fell below the published dry figure, so the range starts at the published dry weight instead — loaded is never lighter than dry.
03 Flying Cloud floorplan family
The current Flying Cloud line — five floorplans from a 23-foot couples' layout to a 30-foot family bunk build. The 30FB Bunk on this page is highlighted; each other plan links to its own profile.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Bedroom | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 23FB | 23 ft | Front | 4 | Lightest; U-dinette, rear bath |
| 25FB | 25 ft | Front | 6 | Best-seller; convertible lounge |
| 27FB | 28 ft | Front | 5 | Walk-around queen + side lounge |
| 28RB | 28 ft | Rear | 6 | Rear bedroom, larger galley |
| 30FB Bunk | 31 ft | Front | 8 | Family bunks; sleeps 8 |
Most plans also come in a Twin-bed configuration sharing the parent shell. Four 2025-and-earlier layouts (25RB, 26RB, 30FB Office, 30RB) were discontinued for 2026 and are documented separately.
04 What owners & reviewers report
Genuine family capacity
Bunks plus a private queen and a convertible dinette put the sleeping count at eight — the only Flying Cloud that fits a full family without compromise.
Biggest tanks & fridge
A 53-gallon fresh tank and a 9.7 cu ft refrigerator make it the line's best off-grid option for longer family trips.
Needs a full-size truck
At 8,800 lb GVWR and a 900 lb tongue, this is firmly a half-ton-plus or three-quarter-ton trailer — not an SUV pairing.
More to handle
Thirty-one feet means tighter campsite options, a longer storage footprint, and more trailer to back into a site than the rest of the line.
05 How it compares
Three feet shorter and ~800 lb lighter, sleeping six instead of eight, with a single A/C — easier to tow and store, less family capacity.
Same family-size footprint in Airstream's higher-trim lines — more luxury and price, similar tow demands.
A boxy bunkhouse of equal length sleeps a family for far less money and weight — trading the aluminum shell's longevity and resale.
06 Loading it for a trip
This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 53-gallon fresh tank is roughly 21% of the 2,100-pound cargo capacity, leaving the Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.
| Weight budget | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo capacity as published (CCC) | 2,100 lb | Everything you add: gear, water, propane, batteries, food, people’s belongings. |
| Fresh tank filled (53 gal × 8.34 lb) | −442 lb | Water is the heaviest thing most owners add, and it is added first. |
| Cargo budget left with a full fresh tank | 1,658 lb | 21% of this plan’s capacity is spent before a single bag is loaded. |
| Per sleeping position, water aboard | 207 lb | A rough share of what is left across the 8 berths this plan sleeps. |
The published dry tongue weight of 900 pounds is 13% of the 6,700-pound dry weight, which sits inside the 10–15% band usually quoted for stable towing. It is still a dry figure: loading the front pass-through and the fresh tank both push it up.
Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 8,800-pound GVWR the Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk is towing 2,100 pounds more than its 6,700-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.
Tank balance is generous here: 53 gallons of fresh against 40 grey and 35 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Of the 5 Flying Cloud floorplans profiled here, the Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk carries the highest GVWR at 8,800 pounds. It is the top of the line by weight, which makes tow-vehicle capability the first thing to settle rather than the last.
Either side of it in the same line: Flying Cloud 28RB is 1,200 pounds lighter at 7,600 lb GVWR.
| Comparable travel trailers | GVWR (lb) | Dry (lb) | Sleeps | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk | 8,800 | 6,700 | 8 | 31 ft 2 in |
| Access 24RB | 8,800 | 6,592 | 4 | 29 ft 11 in |
| Classic 28RB | 8,800 | 7,650 | 5 | 28 ft 10 in |
| Globetrotter 30RB | 8,800 | 6,990 | 6 | 31 ft 2 in |
| International 30RB | 8,800 | 6,600 | 6 | 31 ft 2 in |
| Minnie 2301BHS | 8,800 | 6,514 | 6 | 29 ft 9 in |
| Passport 2605RB | 8,800 | 6,762 | 6 | 30 ft 6 in |
Against the Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk: the Access 24RB is 1 ft shorter and sleeps 4 fewer; the Classic 28RB is 2 ft shorter and sleeps 3 fewer; the Globetrotter 30RB sleeps 2 fewer. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.
Those are the nearest travel trailers from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.
For scale, the Flying Cloud floorplans profiled here run 5,000 to 6,700 pounds dry and 24 to 31 feet of exterior length across 5 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.
Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Flying Cloud line hub.
08 Common questions about the Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk
How much does the Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk weigh?
It leaves the factory at 6,700 pounds dry, and its manufacturer-set loaded ceiling (GVWR) is 8,800 pounds. Real towing weight lands between the two and depends entirely on what you load. Use the GVWR when matching a tow vehicle; the dry figure is only useful for comparing floorplans against each other.
How much can the Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk carry?
Cargo carrying capacity is 2,100 pounds. That is the whole budget: water, propane, batteries, gear and everything you bring. Filling the 53-gallon fresh tank uses about 442 pounds of that.
What is the tongue weight of the Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk?
The published dry tongue weight is 900 pounds. It is measured empty; loaded, it runs higher, and it comes out of your tow vehicle’s payload rather than its tow rating.
What size tow vehicle does the Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk need?
Your vehicle needs a tow rating of at least 8,800 pounds — this floorplan’s GVWR — and enough payload left over for the hitch load, passengers and anything in the bed. This site does not publish tow ratings for specific vehicles, because one truck model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The figure that governs is the payload sticker on your own door jamb.
How many people does the Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk sleep?
It is rated to sleep 8. Rated sleeping positions include convertible furniture, so count the beds against how you actually travel rather than against the number.
What are the tank capacities on the Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk?
Fresh 53 gallons, grey 40 gallons, black 35 gallons. Tank sizes set how long the floorplan can sit away from hookups, and the smallest of the three is what ends the stay.
How long is the Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk?
Exterior length is 31 ft 2 in. Measure against your site length and your storage before committing — the exterior figure is the one that has to fit, and it includes the tongue or pin box.
Every figure in these answers is read from this page’s verified specification table. Where the manufacturer publishes nothing, the question is not answered rather than estimated.
09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 16 of them for the Flying Cloud 30FB Bunk. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.
Not published for this floorplan: slide count, awning. If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.
The completeness figure at the foot of this page (90%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.
How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
11 NHTSA safety record
This floorplan belongs to the Flying Cloud line, and NHTSA holds 14 recall campaigns and 7 owner complaints against that line. They are separate records and are not added together — a recall is a manufacturer-confirmed defect with a remedy; a complaint is one owner’s account, which NHTSA does not verify.
Too few reports to show a pattern. 7 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover electrical system, structure, equipment, tires and unknown or other.
Recall coverage is not complete — our harvest of NHTSA’s recall API ran 1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero. A line can still be under-reported where NHTSA files a roster under a parent name, or where a match rests on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Complaints come from the complete bulk file but are unverified and self-selected: a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Flying Cloud line page.
