We looked for shorter 5'th wheels as well. Have little interest in anything large. At first I looked at 25-26 footers but found very few and the ones we did were poor quality, cramped floorplan etc. We opted for a 29' rear kitchen. In a shorter 5'er the rear kitchen allows for an open living area that does well for an otherwise shorter 5'er.
We really love our Winnebago. Very well built compared with other lite 5'ers. Take a look at what LaMesa in Avondale has. I really don't care for LaMesa in Mesa but the Avondale sales and service have been great. We bought our 5'er in Las Vegas but Avondale service did not push us to the end of the line like some others do.
