Only you can decide. My requirement was full access to kitchen, bath, and bedroom.
Why? I camp year around. In winter if seals are frozen and slides are extended there is a good chance of tearing seals. I can go to the store, load all the food supplies into pantry, frig, etc. turn up the heat and drive to campground, set up except extending slides and use it as it continues to thaw slides. Next morning slides can be extended without damage for a great weekend.
While traveling, I can make quick potty stops, snack stops or even a few hour's snooze in a parking lot, rest area, or truck stop without moving a slide.
My requirements would most likely seem stupid for someone who only does summer camping and/or travels an hour or two to camp for a period of time and return home.
Decide how YOU intend to use your camper then YOU decide what is important for YOU.
