We started out with a VW bus conversion camper, went to a dodge Maxi-van camper, then a 23 foot Class C and finally a 27 foot bumper to bumper Tioga 26Q. IMHO, you will want an RV queen bed/rearbedroom for your comfort, kids and guests sleep in the overhead and/or convertible dinette or jack-knife couch.You will need adequate storage in the rear cargo hold and in cabinets. The rear bedroom, galley, and bathroom are adequate in this kind of floor plan. We have negotiated tight twisty back roads in this 27 footer. If you can find a good used Fleetwood Tioga or Jamboree 26Q or similar length/floor plan, I'd recommend it as a good compromise for your intended use. Learn as much as you can and don't buy on impulse. Most RV's use the same brands of air conditioners and appliances, etc. and they start needing replacements/repairs at about 10 years old. Tires must be replaced every 5-6 years regardless of appearance. Learn about total cost of owning a motor home.
