Floor plan is important. It has to feel like home. So for somebody who likes to cook, the right floor plan PLUS the right kitchen storage is important because we tend to have more ingredients we like to keep on hand. If you like to boondock then food storage may also be an important issue because you may not be close to shopping as often. Also we try to keep heavier items lower, so if you are inclined to pack a lot of canned goods (or wine :)), keep an eye out for spots throughout the rig that will accommodate them. We pressure can meat, homemade stock, pasta sauces and chili so we have found the floor of the washer/dryer closet (which has no w/d)is a good spot to keep some of these items.
Before we moved out of the sticks & bricks I would walk through the house and mentally note what would go with us and what we would get rid of. I would look in my kitchen cabinets and drawers and try to determine the keepers/tossers. Then when we walked through the various RV's I would imagine where things were going to go. I agree with the advice to send the salesman away. You really need to soak in the space to make a good decision.
