As for the 5th wheel, there are a couple newer models that have a rear queen in the bunk room. Some have lofts also, but the rear queen is the direction I would go. I think you can even find that with 2 baths, or 1/2 bath in the rear bedroom. One that comes to mind is the Forest River Sierra, but I think I have seen others with that setup, just can't remember the name. You could also consider a toy hauler for the larger back room, but might be really heavy on the hitch with no "toys". With a full grown "kid" having a real size bed will be nice for him. My 12 year old is starting to outgrow the bunks in our bunk house. There are also mid bunk models, but the he might outgrow the bunks.
Just a thought.
If using for hauling a larger trailer, just stick with the 1 ton dually (I would go diesel if it were me...)
Good luck finding what you need with inventory being so low this past year and not looking like it's getting any better. But, with some effort, you should be able to find what your looking for, just might pay a lot more than you would have a couple years ago or in another year when people are dumping their RV's because they can't find a spot to camp with it since many parks are booked solid through the summer and into the fall. Maybe start making plans to boondock a lot initially.
