Some other things to think about: Does anyone have disability or other health problems that make using a ladder and sleeping in the overhead impractical? Are both you and your spouse likely to remain enthusiastic about total expense and effort in preparing for, participating and clean up after road trips/camping?
If 90% of touring and camping will be just you two that should be a major consideration about length of motorhome. If you buy used, make sure that RV generator, roof and dash air conditioners, furnace, fridge, water heater, converter charger, house batteries, and fresh water pump/plumbing are in good working order. Check awning fabric too. High repair/replacement cost items. Also make sure that engine, transmission, entire brake system including brake fluid replacement. Have tires inspected for sidewall cracking. If over 5 years old by imprinted date codes, tires may fail and flailing steel belts may damage your rig and disrupt your trip. Tires are the "Achilles heel" of RV's. If not already equipped, have solid metal valve stems installed on all six wheels for easy tire pressure checks,( Borg or Tire Man, etc) Do not use tire valve "extenders" despite cost of solid metal valve stems.
