It depends how you plan to use the trailer. The things i mention here may not apply to you but its what i found to be.
If you are 'outside in nature' people, its no problem with those floorplans.
For longer stays using those floorplans like a home , where you spend time inside, i didn't like the chairs being in the entrance aisle, too busy. When you have more than 2 people, its becomes too busy using those floorplans as you described.
If you like to watch a game, then the DW will be in the viewing area as she cooks and preps. tv is kind of far away for sports viewing detail as well as sound. The tv is far away form those chairs , so you really need to crank it up. At night, you can hear the tv outside and that can annoy neighbors unless you use headphones.
Also.....You need to research Mfg.'s See how different Mfg's treat people after the purchase. I prefer the more positive reputation of Jayco, KZ, Outdoors RV or A.Fox (Nash) for decent customer service.
I would travel to buy one and work a deal to have someone like Steve at C.H. Dana in Monroe NH, do the warranty work if that was closer to your home.
If you have the means, I would prefer to buy from a small family owned dealerships opposed to large big box dealerships where the customer gets lost after the sale.
There are small rv repair shops that have dealers licenses that can order new rv's of various brands, check into that.
I know people that have bought that way and were very happy because those shops survive on good service and order only rv's that people know they want because they have run around researching already. They don't play one brand against the other to make a sale like large multi brand dealerships do. However, certain mfg.'s like Jayco, will not sell to independent dealers out of there dealer network.
