We just bought a 17bh Coachman Viking, with a permanent bed, a dinette and bunks. We haven't camped in it yet, but it sure looks good sitting in my driveway right now!
Some of the reasons that we choose the camper: We have two grandboys, ages 3 and 6, and wanted bunks for them. The top bunk is rated to 300#, so an adult (or teenager) can sleep up there. There is both a permanent bed and a dinette. I am lazy and I didn't want to have to change the dinette every night, but we can turn it into a bed if needed. It is 7" wide and a decent weight, so we could tow it easily. It is 22' bumper to hitch, which is longer than I wanted, but still should fit into most out of the way campsites (think COE and state parks). The price was right - just under $12k.
Good luck in your decision!
