settled on a specific "wish list"--is it out there?

So after doing LOTS of online looking and giving a lot of thought to my intended use of a motorhome, I've settled on the following wish list:

*B+ with storage but no overhead bunk (will settle for a C with no front window and one-piece design like some Born Free models have

*24' or under (25 is pushing it)

*rear corner bed

*fold out sofa

*either a dinette or second fold out sofa across from the first one

*under $30K

*under 75K miles

*Chevy chassis

*no slide

*within a 10-12 hr drive of my home near Nashville

I realize these other items probably mean a wet bath but I am OK with that.

Does such a thing exist?

I found a unit from a private seller with all these criteria (except it's a Ford), but unfortunately I don't have my cash account quite there yet, will need another year.

My sister's husband is in very bad health and I'm hoping that she will travel with me some if anything happens to him. She would be happier with 2 sleeping areas. And if my adult children travel with me, they could have the corner bed, I would take the sofa, and grandkids could have the other sofa or dinette or floor. (They are pretty small right now.)
Class C

    In a smaller MH, that rear corner bed, takes up a lot of the limited floor space, although there are plenty of Cs out there with the corner bed and a sofa (or dinette) opposite the kitchen area, along with the cabover bed. I had a 22' class C with that floor plan. Another popular floor plan was the rear kitchen, in place of the corner bed, with a dinette opposite a jack knife couch, along with the cabover bed. I had that floorplan in a 24' class C and preferred that to the corner bed.

    I think you are right. The closest thing I've seen is a corner bed + sofa with the kitchen area across from the sofa, and no dinette.

    But if I went to a real class C as opposed to B+ then there would be an overhead bunk. Might work.

    Or I could just get a Roadtrek and make everyone else sleep in the tent, LOL.
