2021 EAST TO WEST DELLA TERRA M-271BH

EAST TO WEST Della Terra 271BH is a 2021 double-axle bunkhouse travel trailer built for families who want real space without moving into a huge, hard-to-tow rig. It measures about 34' 4" long, 8' wide, and roughly 11' tall, with a dry weight around 6,835 lb, gross weight around 9,700 lb, and hitch weight about 785 lb. That gives you generous cargo capacity of roughly 2,700+ lb, so you can load bikes, gear, food, and water without immediately bumping into limits. Tank capacities are strong for a bunkhouse: around 55 gallons fresh, 60 gallons gray, and 30 gallons black, which supports longer weekends and extended trips if you manage water smartly.

The 271BH floorplan is a classic family layout. Up front you get a private bedroom, mid-coach you have a large slide with seating and galley across from it, and in the rear you get double-over-double bunks next to the bathroom. With the front bed, bunks, and convertible seating, this layout realistically sleeps a big crew—often listed up to ten—without the trailer feeling chopped up. The large off-door slide opens the living area enough that kids can move between bunks, bath, and dinette without bottlenecking.

EAST TO WEST positions Della Terra as a comfort-focused, value-driven line, and the 271BH leans into that. The trailer carries an 81" interior height, so most adults can walk through without ducking and the space feels more residential than many conventionals in this segment. The brand’s messaging emphasizes consistent build quality, point-to-point inspections, and doing the basics right instead of chasing gimmicks. That shows up in the way doors close, how the floor feels underfoot, and how solid the interior still feels after use.

Under the skin, construction is more serious than the price class suggests. Della Terra uses 2" x 3" floor joists 12" on center, 2" wall construction on a 16" center, aluminum exterior siding, and 5" bowed truss roof rafters. The floor is 5/8" tongue-and-groove plywood decking, not OSB, tied into a cambered steel chassis. Above that sits a one-piece seamless roof membrane and R-7 fiberglass insulation throughout, plus a fully finished pass-through up front. For a used buyer, that structure is the core value: it’s what keeps the coach solid after years of towing and camping.

Tanks and climate control are sized for real camping, not just fair-weather overnighting. This floorplan typically carries the 55/60/30 fresh/gray/black combo, a 15,000 BTU ducted A/C, and a 35,000 BTU furnace, which is a strong heating package for a conventional trailer in this size range. Many 271BH units are built on 50-amp service, giving you the electrical headroom to manage power and, where equipped, support a second A/C in hotter climates. That makes this rig a legitimate three-season family coach in most parts of the country.

Up front, the 271BH is known for a true king-size bed in a private bedroom, not a shortened RV mattress. A solid bedroom door, bedside wardrobes, and nightstands give you real storage and separation from the main cabin. USB charging ports and 110V outlets near the bed keep phones, tablets, and sleep-apnea machines handled without extension-cord chaos. For parents, being able to close a real door and have a full-size sleep space is a big quality-of-life upgrade over many “curtain-only” bunkhouses.

In the rear, the double-size bunks are what make this floorplan work so well for families. These are not narrow kid-only bunks; they are wide enough for teens or adults and usually carry weight ratings that match real use. Located right beside the bathroom, they make bedtime easy—kids can hit the shower and climb into bed without walking the length of the trailer, and late-night bathroom trips stay quick and contained. For visiting friends or cousins, the rear bunks feel like their own zone.

The main living area is anchored by a large slide that typically holds a sofa and a family-sized dinette. Della Terra’s standard feature list calls out a 48" dinette with pull-out storage drawers on roller guides where that configuration is used, which gives you a place for board games, extra linens, or kids’ gear without resorting to plastic tubs. Big windows in the slide and on the opposite wall keep the space bright, and LED lighting ties in at night without drawing much power. It feels like a comfortable family room, not just a walkway between beds.

The kitchen is spec’d like a small apartment, not a bare-bones camper. Across the Della Terra line, standard equipment includes a 10.7 cu ft 12V refrigerator, 3-burner range with glass cover and oven, and a deep, residential-style sink with a high-rise faucet. Shelving in overhead cabinets, wood drawer boxes, and interior LED lighting make it easy to keep food organized and actually cook proper meals on the road. For lake weekends or long hauls, that kind of functional kitchen matters more than any flashy add-on.

Bathroom features are straightforward and practical. You typically get a skylight over the shower or tub, ABS tub/shower surround, and a porcelain foot-flush toilet, plus cabinet space in many 271BH layouts. That setup feels closer to a compact home bath than the plastic, cramped spaces that show up in some entry-level bunkhouses, and it is easier to keep clean over time. Having the bathroom right off the bunks and near the rear entry (if equipped) keeps muddy feet and wet towels from tracking through the whole coach.

Exterior living is a big part of the 271BH story. Dealer builds commonly feature double-entry doors, double-size bunks, a large slide, and a 15'-plus power awning, along with an outdoor kitchen on many examples of this floorplan. Combined with features like a universal docking station, solar prep, outside shower, and enclosed tanks on many units, you get a bunkhouse that is genuinely set up to live outside as much as you live inside. For a family that grills, bikes, and spends the day at the lake, that outside setup is a major selling point.

Underneath, many Della Terra units are built with an enclosed and heated underbelly, enclosed holding tanks, and name-brand tires, which is not a given in this price class. That pays off in shoulder seasons and on rougher roads, where exposed plumbing is more vulnerable. Finished pass-through storage up front, a power tongue jack, and stabilizer jacks round out a chassis that is easy to set up and live with day after day. For a used buyer, a 2021 EAST TO WEST Della Terra 271BH offers king-bed privacy up front, real double bunks in back, strong tankage, and serious construction—all in a package that a properly equipped half-ton truck can handle with confidence.
