A little about our situation...we have a 15' Coleman bunk house. Weight little less than 3k and fully loaded we can't exceed 3800 I think can't remember off hand. In any case we pull with a half ton so could of went bigger but we wanted the same. Didn't get want a house on wheels but wanted a hard side for heat, cooling plus toilet and shower for kids. I didn't want the dinette bed conversion but settled with it as everything else lined up for our needs. Honestly it bothers us less than we thought. We are almostly always outside and eat outside for the most part as well. We keep table out during the day or keep bed out and have a plastic table outside.
During bad weather we store table in bathroom fold bed up eat using lap trays, etc. Some would get cabin fever but we bunker down and make do with kids even.
In my opinion its what you expect going into it. With us it was a simple step up from tent camping adding a small amoumt of climate control, bathroom and convenience of keeping trailer prestocked instead of loading truck up with camping gear during trips.
So with us we are in heaven and loving it. Maybe down the road we may move to an 18' with right lay out but we've decided that's the biggest we want that will work for us.
I think you are where we are at. We will never need anything larger for relatively local three day camping trips. I don't care for any classes with motors or fifth wheels.
