When choosing the floorplan of an RV we use a couple of tests:
1. If on a trip and we have to hunker down inside the RV due to bad weather for a week to 3 weeks which floorplan would lessen the possibility of cabin fever. For example our current RV allows her to be in one area doing what she wants to do and I can be in another area doing what I want to do.
2. Avoid bottle neck areas. Our first RV had a spot in the kitchen where two people could not pass each other. So if one of us was cooking at the stove and the other had to use the bathroom in the rear of the TT, the cook had to move out of the way.
3. Storage- is there plenty of room for all the stuff she will want to bring...
The Lippert frame is a concern....other than that choose the RV that best fits your needs but don't go small. Get the biggest you can afford and your tow vehicle will handle. You've outgrown your tent trailer, the same thing will happen if you go for a small TT. We went from a 10ft Camper, to a 23ft TT to a 25ft MH to our current 38ft 5th wheel. Now we are looking at 40 to 42 footers.
