CJBill, I have an '05 model 213. That and the 214 are basically identical save for the layout of the bath/kitchen/rear door. That's a matter of what style you prefer. The beds in the standard layout are the jackknife sofa and the dinette. Like GK says above, both of those folded down into beds makes a wall to wall sleeping area. The dinette side is shorter, and tho' I'm 6', I prefer that side and my wife sleeps on the folded down sofa. Our 2 small pups find plenty room to sleep there also.
As far as driving, your take on this group's comments is right on. In fact, last Xmas vacation, I parked on the street in the small town of Berlin, Md, and the area had just had it's biggest Xmas snowfall in years. In parking lots, you take up 2 spaces lengthwise. I try to park away from the rest of the crowd, but there are people that must think the rv is collapsible, since they park right next to me.
Beware of the 2 new Town and Country Models. They seem to have a wet bath instead of a full one like mine.
Keep us posted.
