When we first started camping we looked at bunkhouses and like you wanted more living room space. We looked at the front living rooms and the kids actually liked it better. They had bigger beds when couches were folded out and a big tv to watch.
The things we didn't like were the lack of basement storage, lack of a view and the couches were 90° to the tv, had to lay on the couch to watch tv comfortably.
We traded out to a rear living room model when the oldest quit traveling with us. We are now back to looking at front living room models as my mother may start traveling with us. I like the rear dens as they have good storage and good views but the wife not so much.
My advice, make your kids part of the decision, they will be sleeping in the living room. Also, these are heavy units pushing 16000 lbs loaded up ready to roll so make sure you have the proper tow vehicle
Good luck with your search.
Thank you for these words of wisdom! Good thought about the kids! Of course, the way my kids operate, if the rig has power recliners, they are good with it, so they aren't much help! haha!
