We have a B+ and we full time. But we use our Phaeton to live in. The smaller rig we purchased for Alaska and summer travels to the east coast where state parks are not geared for big rigs.
We looked long and hard at Phoenix. The one thing I hated about it was that corner shower. I am short and getting into it was not a problem. But I stepped in and moved my arms around like I was washing my hair and my elbows kept hitting the sides of the shower. DH is 6'2" and larger, of course, and the shower space for him was not acceptable. Also it seemed that all the used units we looked at had rust on the slide out mechanisms that was easily visible on the outside when the slide was out.
Coach House builds a lovely unit, but again, very cramped. Very little storage if you are fulltiming.
You will find that without any slides, 2 people and a dog will be constantly stepping on each other.
Ours in an R-Vision, which is an orphan and no longer built. But it serves the purpose we bought it for and we are happy with it. It does not have much storage, so DH built a custom trunk that slides into the hitch receiver on the back.
Try reading through the B+ forum on here for more info from people who own these smaller rigs and how they are enjoying them.
