When we bought our new one, we were replacing one a little smaller. The old one was only 24' 1" long, bumper to ball. The only seating was a sofa on a short slide, and it was directly across from the sink and stove. It was just too small for the two of us.
So we started looking around again. We didn't want anything too large, and one with no slide didn't bother us one iota. We also needed one that would explode my bank account and I didn't want any payments since I'm retired.
We ended up finding the Jayco Jay Flight 23RB checked off most of our boxes. it was only 27' 2", had a sofa, dinette, front island queen, no slide, and large bathroom with plenty of wardroom space. A bonus was the nearly 8 cuft fridge.
All RV choices usually have some compromises. One of ours is the stick and tin design. It doesn't have a pantry either, but it has lots of cabinets and the dinette has doors and a tub in each seat area. We put the heavy stuff on the floor in one of the tubs, and the light food stuffs up in a cabinet.
The size works very well for the two of us. And it's still relatively short so not many sites will be too small for us.
