At 15 feet you will most likely be using the dinette as the bed. At 18 feet the bed may be decent and separate. At 20 to 24 ft you may start to see the bedroom isolated from the rest of the living space with a door or curtain.
No matter which one you look at, go inside and take turns sitting down and trying to relax while the other person moves about. Many times you will find that if it doesn't have a slide you will be stepping on each other. It may seem ok at first but it gets old real fast.

If you go used be extremely careful that the rig does not have water damage. It's the number one issue. I guess I should also say that it's unlikely but also check new units for water damage as there are horror stories on here about that issue.
