My only advice is to make sure you have a place to sit and put on your shoes and that everyone is comfortable doing business in the bathroom. Yes, you need to actually sit down on the thing if it looks tight.
Following that train of thought...
Go through all the motions: cooking... reach for pots, dishes, cooking utensils; refrigerated food. Is there room to stack, wash, and a dry dishes and pots. Room for a dish drying rack? Enough meal prep room? Counter space? Storage for galley items including crock pot, rice steamer, food processor, toaster, coffee pot? Can more than one person work in the kitchen simultaneously?
Where does the garbage can live? Laundry basket/bag? Iron / small ironing board? Pet beds / litter boxes? Yard pet fencing? Bulk dry food?
Lay down on the bed, how convenient will it be if you have to get up in the middle of the night? Go through the motions of making the bed.
Bathroom. Take a pretend shower, including washing your hair. How does the toilet flush (hand, foot)? Is it going to be an annoyance after a while? Enough room for towels, paper goods, cleaning supplies, bath mat, bathrobes, wet towels? Is there room to hang wet raingear if need be?
Have a hobby? Is there sufficient room for supplies and equipment? Work surfaces or work furniture?
Is the rig configured in such a way that guests don't have to walk through the kitchen to get to the sitting area? Is there enough f a division in the event you'd want some "space" between you and travel companion/partner/spouse/relatives? Can one person read while the other watches a loud sports even on tv?
Just some activities of daily living to consider regarding the layout of an RV.
Good luck.
