Another option to consider is finding a shorter rig that fits you needs and getting a tent for the kids. Helps keep the size down, gives the kids and you some privacy, and once the kids are gone, you'll have a unit for just the two of you.
Now that you're in the west with more access to NFS and NPS CG's, you'll find that the shorter your rig, the more options remain in CG's. For instance we camp often around Moab at BLM CG's and I would say that someone with a 30' trailer has about 25% of the options that someone with a 20' trailer has. We've found that length is less of a hinderance in many of the CG's east of the Rockies.
