You'll not have any problem finding a camper meeting your requirements. What you've described is pretty common.
Here's a suggestion.
Draw a sketch of what kind of floor plan you'd like. Forget about everything you've looked at so far. Let you're imagination go crazy and sketch it out.
Then go in search of your dream floor plan! You may still be overwhelmed, but it will help narrow down what you're looking for.
Consider how much weight your tow vehicle can handle. Let that be your first selection criteria. Look for the floor plan. Let that be your second selection criteria. Consider storage. Let that be your third selection criteria. Then consider the aesthetics (paint, color, flooring, color of walls, ect) and let that be the next criteria.
And keep the price in the back of your head. Only you know how much you can afford.
You may find the same floor plan in 2 different units, and the price may be $5000 different. Then you need to look at the construction, warranties, and serviceability of the unit.
FYI, there isn't any "bad" camper out there. It's still all a matter of how well the owner takes care of them over the long haul!
I know this may not help you a bit, but when all else fails ... Just ask the wife what she wants and get it! Problem solved!
