Smaller and lighter is always better. Personally, with your tow vehicle I would want to try and stay below 6000 lbs fully loaded.
Slide-outs give you a lot more room, if they don't exceed your weight limit.
You might not be planning on it now, but you are much better off buying two 6V golf cart batteries in case you need to do some boondocking. Also, a small (1000W-1500W) pure sine wave inverter to watch TV and charge electronic items. A small electric heater is great when you it is chilly and you do have power.
Personally, I like floor plans that have a Murphy bed. You can have real living room. Check into upgrading your mattresses at a bedding store.
If you are planning on parking in one location for awhile, start shopping now for a small 120V freezer. FREEZER ONLY, no fridge, unless you have room to install a full size residential refrigerator/freezer.
