I'll add another thing to mine and a couple others about sleeping arrangements !
If they have any issues at all whatsoever with health problems backs, knees, hips ? Try to get one with a walk around bed or at least one side you can !
We started with the short 23Ft with jacknife couch , dinette , and over head bunk.
The dinette was too short for me , the jacknife couch folded out was terrible and having had back surgery made it hard to climb up and down to the overhead bunk.
So thinking a bed in the back (corner bed ) would work ,we sold the 23ft and bought a 25ft with the corner bed .. Found out its a pain for me to crawl in or slide in on the bed .
If I had to do it over which it still may come to that , I would want a walk around or at least one full length side where I can sit on the bed and straight board lay down on the bed..
Just thinking out loud again ;)
Ditto X10 on the queen walk around bed!
If there is ONE bit of advice worth giving on buying an RV is if you can DO get a walk around bed.
The corner beds are a real pain for two people. Some one has to crawl over the other to get in and out! :B Also making the bed is near impossible without having gymnastic talents!.
BTW: Not being sure when I went Full-Time if I would like it. I choose to buy a used MH instead of going in debt on a new one. I bought a couple years old 31 ft Class C for $25,000, low miles in excellent condition. Buying used the first owner gets to go thru all the shake down of a new unit that needs to go back in for repairs. You the second owner gets to enjoy the ride worry free.
That MH gave me the best maintenance free experience of RV'ing. Good used ones are out there. You just have to keep looking until you find just the right one for you. IMHO Buying new is not what it is all cracked up to be. :W
