We have a 2001 Winnie Minnie that is called a 24' but is really 25' which is just a couple of feet longer than a crewcab pickup with a full size bed.
We bought a 2 inch foam to put on top of the mattress which is getting kind of old. The mattress is cut off at an angle for the aisle to the bathroom. That makes it kind of short for the person sleeping on that side. So if you both are 6 ft or so, it could be an issue.
Slide outs. First of all, you loose about 3 to 6 inches of space which means that a closet is very very small on that side. 3 inches might not seem like much, but that is the main reason you don't see a closet on that side any more. Plus in my opinion all the slide out gets you is some walking or floor space, nothing that you can really use.
Ours has the extra chair, but it isn't the most comfortable thing. It does slide back and forth for extra space.
Yes the driver seat is limited on how far back it can go but I am 6 ft and don't have a problem.
One thing you might consider is that there is a company that sells stuff that raises either or both the front seats and make them turnable so they can be another chair for someone to sit on. It appears to be quite easy to do this if you are handy or else pay someone to do it.
Parking is so much easier with the C that we find we don't really need to pull an extra vehicle. Yes there are a few times it would have been nice but walking a little bit is good for you.
Driving the C is no different than driving the pickup we used to have.
