Also, a 28' RV is going to be really small once you shove 8 people in there. Mine seems small with just the two of us.
I would look into toy haulers. Many come with 2 queen size beds in the garage area that can be raised to the ceiling when traveling. That buys you 4 sleeping spots. Assuming the parents are in the front bed, that means just 2 kids have to sleep in the living room area.
Of course, you are probably looking something more like 35ft.
It also gives you places to put bikes and other stuff for the kids.
Out of curiosity, what is the plan for 8 while in transport. Even the big 4 door pickups are really only good for up to 6 people.
This also has an advantage as toy haulers tend to have more cargo capacity and with 8 people, you likely will be cramming a lot into it.
Definitely, don't forget about people and gear in the truck when looking at payload. 6 adults are likely to be 800-1200lb of payload before hooking up the trailer or putting anything in the truck bed.
