Shorter rigs have less comfortable sleeping in the overhead or convertible sofas or dinettes.

We have a 2004 Fleetwood Tioga 26Q similar to Ichabod's, no slides, not "needed" for two, but nice when they don't leak and extend/retract properly. This is a short a rig as I'd recommend mostly for the rear bed/bedroom, no climbing up and down ladders. Most rigs with rear bedrooms also have overhead beds for kids and small convertible dinette beds.
