we are only 2 so only 2 seats ( which swivel) so more room in the back for moving around...we also have less cabinetry hanging over the bed

kick tires as much as you can- some dealers have great videos on youtube demoing models where you can judge how the layout would work for you...watch how easily the salesguy moves around.
you need to separate the chassis from the coach build- a well taken care of chassis and the coach build was executed well- AND taken care of.
an inspection by a mechanic and an RV tech could save you a bundle if you are insure
