Small bunkhouses with slide?

My wife and I are looking to switch it up and get out of our Hybrid TT... We are looking for smaller bunkhouses with the following requirements:

-queen bed accessible from both sides.
-2-3 bunks
-decent size slideout to give some floorspace
-some counter space for kitchen prep

We really liked the Lance 2185 but it's too long for our pad at 25'. The ideal trailer would be very similar but a bit shorter.

Any tips you could give us would be greatly appreciated.

This is only 2' longer than your Rockwood 21SS but it's hard-sided and a better brand IMO. I bought from House of Camping as well. Had nothing but problems with my Rockwood and their service people were incompetent. They did have a great sales department, just wish their service department was half as good. I wouldn't buy from them anymore strictly based on their poor service department, but see you live out of state and probably never experienced it.

If I was space and tow vehicle limited, this is the trailer I'd look at. Since I have the room and tow vehicle, I could go with a better stick and tin build quality and a larger floorplan that didn't require the slide out. Everything has trade offs, but for what it is, this is a very nice looking camper.

Here's another that I would recommend for a smaller size but it only has 1 bunk but the dinette could be made to sleep another.

To get that same footprint of your Roo 21SS of 21.5', you're not going to do much better than the below.
