The JCG is a 2015 and they now come with an 8 speed tranny and paddle shifters, so I can keep it at a lower gear if need be. I've ruled out anything with canvas, if I felt comfortable camping alone as a solo female under canvas, I would just load up one of the 2 tents stored under the house, check all the camping gear, buy a new air mattress and leave. I realize that the extra security of a trailer is partly illusion, and partly an excuse to have a lot less set-up and more luxury.
Beds and baths aren't that big of an issue, I'm 5'1" which is why I would consider the Tab. I thought it would be fine for weekend trips but I had a hard time imagining myself living in it for a month or 2.
While I agree that the seating capacity at the dinette isn't a big deal for me, having extra room on the table is. Plus with some pillows the dinette can substitute for a sofa/lounge chair since I'm small. I like the extra feeling of space that the slide and the big window at the rear give you in the Lance. The Winnebago that looks just like the R Pods felt much darker and smaller, though if it really is like the R Pods, the dimensions aren't all that much smaller than the small Lance. I hadn't thought of that when I was looking at them, but now thinking about it, it made a difference in how I felt about the trailers when I first walked into them. Wonder if that will make a difference after I had the trailer for a while?
