Yes we have been looking at floor plans for a few months now & have found quite a few that are under 33 foot & under 10,000 LBS with bunks & queen bed. Not at all interested at the couch, would prefer a bigger dinette but they seem to all come with one. In fact they are all very similar, there must be only one designer for all the manufacturers. :W
Yes, I think they are all given the same design tool and same required parts to layout.. bed, bathroom, kitchen, dining area, living room area, and the same space.. max 8ft wide and max 40 ft long.
And then some additional constraints.. State park spaces are smaller than commercial spaces.. 30-35 ft long. not as much room for slides.
Its like a puzzle.. you can add this part, but you have to shrink that part. We looked at bunkhouses for an additional room to have someone go to.. you will NOT be having fun ALL the time!! at home you can get away from each other.. a few weeks/months on the road and you'd like to be able to do the same. (me retired now). but the rest of the space gets shrunk too much with the bunkhouse design. DW space!.
If you really can stay under 10,000lbs then dually might not be as important.. Our Alpine 3720fb is 12400 empty.
