All good points that others have suggested.
Something you may want to consider is something similar to what I have. I have a 2007 Keystone Outback 25RSS, it has a rear bed slide as well as a side slide and bunks across the front. 26 feet, right around 6000lbs fully loaded for camping. 50 gallon fresh/grey/black tanks. Got the trailer when kids were coming along, so the bunks worked good for them. Kids no longer coming along, so the bunks are now a good storage space, with things out of the way. Only thing I would change about my trailer is the rear slide bed. If I had to do it again, I'd look for the same thing, only with the bed shifted 90 degrees. Instead of side-by-side sideways, I'd prefer a bed with the head at the back/window wall. Easier to get in/out, and easier to make up the bed.
When I got it, I was towing it with a 2003 Chevy Tahoe. It was a capable tow vehicle, but quickly ran out of power towing in the Colorado mountains. It would go, just not very fast, on some steep uphills and downhills.
My wife loves your point about the bed. Thats one of her top priorities is to get one where we don't have to crawl all over each other to get in and out.
