You mention just going out on weekends, etc. within a 2-4 hour radius. You also mention wanting to encourage family time, etc. I wouldn't limit your search to just Class As and 5ers. For years, families have done weekend trips in smaller RVs and managed just fine. A smaller RV would give you more versatility.
A simple TT with an appropriate tow vehicle might be a better combination. As another poster mentioned, tents are an option - you can use them instead of an RV, or use one or two as "extra rooms" for when the kids bring their friends, etc. This combination could be a lot cheaper, would give you the option of establishing a seasonal site if desired, is more likely going to be able to be stored at home, etc. And if you want to go out sightseeing, you can leave the TT behind and just drive the tow vehicle around.
