Plenty of them out there if work space means office. Like Rockford's old house trailer?
Almost any FW floorplan will have the bedroom at the opposite end from the living area, which can be converted into an office space (if that's what your work needs) and the entrance will be at the office end. Your office will likely have a kitchen, that's just the way a fiver goes.
Most bunkhouse TTs starting at 26 to 30 feet have a bedroom at each end, one end can be converted to an office. In many, however, the bunk end is also the bathroom end, so the bedroom that could be converted might be the one you would have preferred to use as a master bedroom. Other living areas tend to be in the middle of a bunkhouse. Larger bunkhouse TTs may have a door at each end (a fiver won't) which might be useful to you.
If workspace means machine shop, then look for toy haulers. Fifth wheel toy haulers will still have the bedroom suite, sacrificing living space for shop or garage space. TT toy haulers more often have the living space up front, with the garage area converting into the bedroom suite, after unloading toys.
Just get out and look at what dealers have. There would be no point in somebody else researching makes and models if you are looking for used, as most manufacturers build similar things, and the model numbers change frequently, that's what the marketing department does, create "new" models each year with slight changes and new identities.
2500HD puts you into the "lightweight" category for a 28-34 foot fiver. Older, heavier models that are much larger will carry better on a one-tone dually, it is a matter of how much pin weight goes with a particular size of towable.
