We are on our seventh rv in 15 yrs. Started with a large pop up and kept it 5 years. Got the itch for real bathroom and bought a 23 foot hybrid. It was Ok but would have skipped it altogether it I did it over again. We kept it 2 yrs and then went with a 26 foot bunkhouse TT, kept that for 2 yrs then a 31 foot bunkhouse TT. Kept that 3 years then a 35 foot bunkhouse fifth wheel. Kept that 3 yrs and now have a 37 for bunkhouse fifth wheel with outside kitchen.
I guess my point is buy your third Rv first. You will save a lot of $$. Also, whatever you decide, make sure that you do your research and make sure that your tow vehicle is well suited to handle the gvwr of the trailer and don't forget the weight of kids, toys, pets, etc.
Expandable bunk ends is purely a matter of preference. For me I like a real bed, without having to worry about condensation dripping on me while sleeping. Also for me, it became a nuisance to close up the beds and reopen when we got home to dry out. The canvas was not trouble free either and a pain to keep clean.
