you can put two small kids or adults on the sofa bed. if it is a jack knife you can't put one person on it comfortably. if you want a C, get one with a rear bedroom and overhead bunk so you don't need to make up that sofabed every night.

I'll second this. We were certain we wanted a Sprinter chassis C, but we ulitmately decided that with a growing boy (9 years now) who wants to bring friends along at times, that a 31 footer was the best fit for us. We learned from our smaller travel trailer that we really wanted a sofa as well as a dinette for those rained-out days. We had just a dinette in the trailer and it was cozy when we were in there for a few hours straight. We also have a pair of labs, so that played into the size for us too.
I will dispute the jack knife sofa comfort opinion, though. We've had three different 9-11 year olds sleep on it with no complaints. And I slept on it for half a night with no real issues either (not as comfy as my memory foam bed in the back, but I didn't wake up all achy either.) And a jack knife is way easier to pop open and closed than a traditional sofa bed.
