You got that right!!!!
I dont have a ton of experience but I talk to others who will be rv'ing and are geeked just as I was when I started out. One of the things I emphasize is what do you do everyday? They often say they will be out hiking and be out doors a lot. I tell them yes you probably will but at the end of the day what will you do? They say I'll be inside. I say will you be comfortable? Oh yes I can sit at the dinette. At that point I tell them to think about it as they will want to be just as comfortable as when they were in the s&b. So you nailed as far as a good comfortable chair. If I bought a small TT I'd be tearing the dinette out to put in lazy boys.
We also talk about how they will stay warm even if going to the far south. They say oh I have sleeping bags and warm clothes. So that brings up another comfort issue to me. There is no way that I'm wearing anything different to bed or sleeping on less of a bed or using any different bedding then I use in a house. The thermostat will be set right were I want it and all the supporting batteries, chargers, generators, panels etc will be in place to do so.
I'm not roughing it. No way. If a glass or dish breaks I will buy more. I'm helping people all along the way to put shoes on their kids feet.
