Space is always an issue in an RV - with living and storage unless you want a larger unit. Also, if you have kids and pets, it becomes an even bigger issue. Where to keep a rig also a problem sometimes as neighbors, or HOA covenants may restrict how long or where you can park an RV along with city ordinances. Not play RV cop here - just things that can come into play with an RV kept at home. We downsized from a 31 foot 5th wheel to a Forest River Sunseeker MBS 2400R (rear bed and dinette slides). With the wife and I and a small dog, it works perfect for us and longest trip so far is a month. Bed has the sliding mattress (one half goes on top of the other when closed) and it was OK, but did put a tempupedic topper on it. 4 burner stove and large sink works well and plenty of space to move around. RV size is going to be predicated on how much space yo want / need, along with how much you want to spend. Often you can find one yer old used MBS models for around $75K. Class B vans, are basically that - vans modified for a camera but offer very little space or cargo capacity. Class A's - well too big for me but that;'s just me as most places we like to go generally have a 27 to 29 foot limit in NF and BLM areas. If you are going to stay in RV parks mainly, size is not a limitation. Good luck on your search.
