A couple of comments, not all RV's have issues that cause them to stay in the shop. In fact, the only ones I have had in 5 years of ownership, were all self-inflicted due to my lack of attention to details/awareness of what I was doing. It seems the folks that have issues are usually more vocal in warning of dire situations than those of us who just keep rocking along with no major problems.
The Whitehawk you mentioned, had a sofa that converts to a bed. I would strongly recommend a separate bed. You will not want to set up bed at the end of a long day. and you might want to sit somewhere besides at the dinette or on the bed. Take the time to spend at least an hour in the trailer before you purchase, imagining all the things you do in a day and how you would do them in the trailer.
edited to add, I looked st Grand design floor plan and think it would work much better for you..
In response to how long to hook up and to set up. I am a 50+ year old female, and I can do either in less than an hour. How much less is dependent on temperature when I am setting up. I tend to work much slower in high temperatures. Be sure you have electric tongue jack as that will make setting up much much faster.
