Reflections on 6 Months of RV Research! ;)
Hi Class C Forum, I caught the RV bug about 6 months ago after a particularly stressful stretch at work. Researching RVs has become the way that I decompress when I have some discretionary time. Cu...

Hello Dean, I applaud you systematic investigation and analysis, now comes the fun part, putting it to the test. To avoid a very expensive experiment, look around for rental agencies, maybe someone on the Forums can help, and try out a few different rigs within your desires.
I am saying this because the actual use of the ideal rig may show you chose something strictly on data and not on usability. We are looking at the maximum space with the smallest footprint. The DW's favorite (and we've looked a lot) is the VIA by Winnebago. But her ideal thing is to buy something that has good fuel usage like the VIA and travel extensively for about two years and then sell and buy a roomy rig with a bigger chassis that will allow us to drive to and park. We are older than you by a ways and for personal reasons we are caring for our DGD. She is fifteen and every bit the girly-girl/tomboy/Goth/high soprano/dreamer and no trouble at all, but, she is still in school and therapy and so short trips are all we can do and she needs privacy. Therefore, the current rig is great.
The point is, all your plans sound great but as someone mentioned, children or grandchildren can change your needs.
Another point is I think more members go from small to larger and even huge than go from Huge to mid-size to small.
