Travel nursing offers flexibility, adventure, and opportunity, but life on the road also comes with unique challenges. Between long shifts, changing assignments, and the need for reliable housing, many traveling nurses are looking for alternatives to hotels and short-term rentals. For many healthcare professionals, RV living has become a practical alternative to traditional travel nurse housing.


That’s where the Chinook Eddy Bed floorplans stand out.


Both the Chinook Maverick EB and Chinook Summit EB are designed to maximize space and flexibility, giving traveling nurses a comfortable, easy-to-drive motorhome that adapts to everyday life on assignment.

The Eddy Bed floorplan is built around a transformable living space that allows travelers to get more functionality out of a compact motorhome.


Available in both the:

…the Eddy Bed layout features a transformable sofa/dinette that easily transitions between:

  • A dining area

  • A workspace

  • A lounge for relaxing and watching TV

  • A comfortable sleeping setup


Instead of dedicating permanent space to a fixed bed, the Eddy Bed design creates a more open interior during the day, something many traveling nurses appreciate during longer assignments.



Why Traveling Nurses Are Choosing RV Living

Housing costs and availability can vary dramatically from one assignment to another. RV living gives traveling nurses more control over where they stay, how much they spend, and the comfort of bringing familiar surroundings with them from city to city.


RV living for traveling nurses often includes:

  • Avoiding expensive short-term housing

  • Bringing pets along more easily

  • Keeping personal belongings in one place

  • Flexibility to relocate between assignments

  • More privacy than hotels or shared housing

  • The ability to stay near hospitals, nature, or family


For nurses working 12-hour shifts, having a quiet, comfortable place to recharge matters.


A Flexible Space for Everyday Life

One of the biggest advantages of the Eddy Bed floorplan is how adaptable the living area feels throughout the day.


Work Comfortably from Anywhere

Many travel nurses spend time completing charting, taking online certification courses, handling scheduling and paperwork, video chatting with family and planning future assignments. The dinette setup creates a comfortable spot to work on a laptop without feeling cramped.


Relax After Long Shifts

After a demanding day at the hospital, comfort matters.The lounge setup gives traveling nurses a place to watch TV, read, enjoy their meals (including easy high protein recipes for life on the road) unwind and relax. That flexibility helps the interior feel larger and more livable during extended stays.


Easy to Drive and Easy to Park

Unlike larger motorhomes, the Chinook Maverick EB and Summit EB are easier to maneuver in cities, hospital parking lots, campgrounds, and RV parks. Their compact size makes them especially appealing for travel nurses relocating frequently between assignments.


Four-Season Comfort for Year-Round Assignments

Travel nurses often move wherever assignments are available, regardless of season. Chinook motorhomes are known for premium construction and four-season capability, helping travelers stay comfortable whether they’re working a winter assignment in the Midwest or spending time in warmer climates.
