25 Foot Class C for family of four
We are looking at purchasing a Minnie Winnie 25B but I'm a little nervous we will outgrow it fast. The plan is to keep for at least 5 years; our kids are 4 and 6 months. Mostly weekend trips with 2-...

Maustin,
As an RV owner that grew up in close quarters as the youngest of 3 and the owner of a small RV and the grandfather to 5 I can offer some perspective here.
Your plan is do-able, but it will be no more of a challenge than living at home on a rainy weekend. You will be continuously converting the convertible parts between services, just get used to it. Get the kids trained in both low water use life and everything in its place. If it does not have a safe place to be, it does not come. Get the elder reading books as they are quiet and cordless.
Carry bicycles with the required seating and add more as need be. These are both good exercise and far less of a problem than a towed. A 25' coach is a good size to take shopping fore provisions and they can be put away before you fire up to leave the lot.
Lastly, If you are thinking of new, stop now. Go used shopping. You will not be able to put enough miles on it to make new anything like a decent ROI. You might be able to get a 4~5 year old for little enough to pay cash. If you can store it on your own lot, then the cost will be a minor consideration. If you make sure it never has any roof leaks, it will retain its value for years to come. (One water leak can end that fast.)
Enough the kids while you can.
