Mondooker, in doing your homework (and maybe this has been said before, as I know you've been asking lots of questions here) is maybe go rent a class A for a week or so and see what you like and don't like about it. Then you'll know more about what you might like, and you'll learn some things you definitely won't like.
For me, I needed extra sleeping for tall people, so that meant 6' dinette and 6' sofa bed. I also needed the kitchen opposite the dinette/sofa, as I have naughty dogs that would be on the kitchen counter scavenging. I didn't want slides, but if there was a rig with slides I'd make sure I could access everything important with the slides in, for those rest area stops.
There are so many little things that until you've spent time in one you might not think of.
Me, my needs were simple as I'm single and was on a tight budget, which limited my options. If you have a spouse, or pets, or grandkids, or whatever, those will all factor in to what might suit your needs best. If you're not on a very tight budget like I was, that opens up lots of options.
And good on you for learning. I can't stand snow jobs from salespeople! Because of my tight budget, I had one sales guy try to talk me out of a class A (the used ones he had were junk, and filthy, and overpriced) and instead wanted me to take a brand new travel trailer. Nope. I wanted the class A. Period.
