Think the first step is to determine how much you are comfortable spending on the MH. You want to be able to afford what you want to do with it!!! We made the leap to a 32' Georgie Boy Pursuit after almost 40 years with TT and a Class C. Just DH and I. Two slides, walk through when slides in (IMHO, VERY important!) Its a 2006 and we got it in 2012 with only 8,000 miles on the gas powered engine. Paid less than $60,000. Why this one? Price, condition, lay out of the interior. I suggest you go to several RV lots and walk through as many in your price/size range as they have available. You'll find a layout that works for both of you. Ask that slides be put out (after all, you'll be in it with them out most of the time!) and see how it 'feels'. Might want to visit an Camping show. Generally good deals abound at them. Make a list of 'must haves' and 'don't cares' and see what you can find.
Don't need all the bells and whistles - need comfort. Will you really watch that TV mounted outside in a space that could be a great extra storage area? Is the outside kitchen something you would use? IN my opinion, KISS it (Keep it simple silly!) Can't help much with mechanical issues - that's not my forte.
BTW, we lived for almost 6 months in our 32' RV. The layout made it possible for each of us to find an 'alone place' (we could easily watch two different TVs - inside - without either of us hearing the other) and the abundance of storage inside and out gave us enough room for our 'stuff'. Of course, there was far less of it than before! You'll be surprised what you really don't need!
We also tow our Honda CRV (4 down) and have never had a problem. Just make sure you have a quality towing/braking system installed properly when you do tow.
