I think you will find that any coach that seats 8 will not usually sleep 8 comfortably! Dinettes and couches make horrible beds for anyone over age 10! Many people put kids in the dinette belted in but one poster here a while back said it is actually the most dangerous because the table can be deadly in case the child is tossed into the table edge, can cause serious head/face injuries.
I fully agree that you will need to be sure any rig you buy is heavy duty enough for a larger toad. But, you can always opt to have someone drive that rig.
It could be you should enroll the family in motorhome driving classes upon the purchase of any size rig.
I agree a lot of gals get very nervous and think an "A" is too large to drive. I have driven ours for over 10 years, did from day one without classes. All it takes is knowledge of the coach, practice, close attention to details, etc. In fact I'd go so far as to say driving an "A" can make anyone a better driver because it is vital to be more attentive to everything around them, something all drivers need to do.
Good luck.
