We bought a Fleetwood Discovery 40G last year. It has bunk beds, lots of storage, W/D. It has the 380hp diesel and we tow a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The 380hp is plenty, although I wish I could get the 450hp diesel in it. It slows down a bit on the mountain passes but we can still pass some of the 18 wheelers. otherwise the engine is fine.
We have 2 girls 16 and 18 now, but we have been RVing since the youngest was born. We have had 2 travel trailers and this is now our second motorhome which in a few years we will plan to full-time in. Usually we take a 2 week trip each summer and a 1-2 week trip in winter.
Having a motorhome with a four wheel down toad has been for us the easiest and quickest setup. I don't think taking more than 1 car is practical at all. You would than have to have a trailer and then unload the cars and find parking spaces for them would be a hassle. Also in a lot of states you are limited to 65ft length.
I also agree that you should try renting and shorter trips to find out what you need and want in a motorhome.
