Find the floorplan that you like best. DON'T settle for "We can make it work" as you'll never be happy. OP mentioned they are retiring in a year or so hence their purchase, I'd like also to suggest heading down to the Hershy, PA RV show in Sept and look at the RV's there. Take a note on what brands you are interested in and if possible, call those brands up and see what models they will have at the show. Tho we have a Heartland Big Country, Grand Design gets a lot of nods. Look into other Heartland lines as well and small Cedar Creeks/Silverbacks. Couple of the biggest things to consider by many is access to the fridge/bathroom w/ slides in while on the road.
If OP does decide to go the Hershy show, both hubby & wife have separate notebooks/pads and write down each model they go in, likes/dislikes of each model without telling or showing the other what they wrote. When all done, THEN compare notes, make a spread sheet.
Also, if OP could state what year, make, gas or diesel. and gears of current truck we could help them w/ weight suggestions. If by chance this was already mentioned, sorry.
