I'm still a year or two away from upgrading from a pop-up for a variety of reasons including no time to camp due to work commitments but I've researched C's pretty extensively since that is the lead candidate.
I'm strongly considering the used rental from El Monte. I'm also considering no slides and 25' range which will allow me to park in two parking spots as a pull through. We have camped for extended periods in a PUP including two cross country trips. We also spend most of our time siteseeing or outside. When rain drives us inside, we usually play a game around the dinette or lay in bed and read. My kids are are teens and won't be in house much longer so I don't have to worry about little kids going stir crazy. By grandkid time, I will bump up to my retirement RV with a whole new set of criteria.
The single best thing you can do is go to an RV show and walk floor plans for hours. Don't go with any intent to purchase! An RV show will give you more manufactures with less sales pressure. We walked through all types including large 5er's that we had no intent to ever purchase just to educate ourselves and get a good comparison.
