I personally feel that 21-22ft is just about the limit in length for full mobility. Ours HERE measures 23'-8" end-to-end and taking a trip without our tow vehicle does have it's limitations.
BTW: Our model is offered with a slide-out. I personally recommend This New Model 15" Stretched Version for a total of 24'-11" but you won't find it used at $40,000. Only ours can be found used in your price range for it has been made for quite some time now.
If you must have extra elbow and head room, then rule out every Phoenix Cruiser for they are intentionally scaled down for ease of drivability and a stronger house structure.
I like that cruiser...it appears to be roomier inside than it looks...
"Roomy" is in the eye of the beholder. Compared to a "B", they are mansions. The interior ceiling in every Phoenix Cruiser is something like 6'-3", much less than typical Cs. They don't have as wide of a body either.
I don't think a couple would comfortably full time in one but it seems to suffice otherwise. No slide to worry or deal with and the height is good for us. I'm only 5'9" and my wife is only 5'1". Great deal for the single person.
There area number of full timing couples in the longer models, singles more common full timing in the shorter models. There are 9 different models
HERE to choose from.
Every model can be ordered with or without slide outs. One model has three, our shorter model is offered with one. Even the tiny 21 footer can get a slide out. For my wife and I, we decided to invest that money in a full body paint job instead. We are not big into slide outs at all, but they sure are a popular feature. I think if we ever had to sell our rig, not having a slide out would limit our sales potential significantly. But we really don't care about that. We went for what "we" want.
5'-9" and 5'-1" ??? You'll fit in any PC perfectly. My wife is 5'-1". Your wife will love being able to actually see & reach inside the upper cabinets. The length of our 2350 double bed and shower height are often questioned but they work well for me and I am 5'-11". I don't hit my head on anything on the ceiling, even with my hiking boots on.
