I have Palazzo bunkhouse and have been happy with it for groups the size of what you are talking about. I did upgrade the factory sofa/bed and that helped a lot.
The Palazzo has a queen bed in back, a dropdown full size with some extra space in the cockpit, the sofa folds out to a full size, the two bunks and you can sleep a small person in the dinette.
If you are trying to live in it it does get a little tight with a crowd but we expect to be out a lot when we travel and the guests can make use of the campground facilities if they get uncomfortable. The bunks are tight for adults but I have slept in them at times and I am 5'9" and overweight. They make for a great closet if you don't use them for beds. My 6'4" tall son-in-law sleeps in the drop down bed without too much trouble. The "Dream Dinette" really is not suitable for sleeping, much to my disappointment.
I love the mid-door in the Palazzo with a crowd. I can come and go as I please without disturbing the rest of the crew excessively. That is handy since I am a morning person and the kids generally are not. Plus you can load groceries directly into the kitchen which you find yourself doing a lot when carrying 4 teenagers.
Being a DP the Palazzo has much larger holding tanks than most gas powered RV's so it can handle a large crowd longer than the gas units.
The biggest issue is finding comfortable seating for everyone while traveling. We often end up with some sleepers in the beds.
It doesn't have all of the comforts of home but it beats any tent or popup that I have stayed in.
I do wish that they offered the bunks in a longer unit with a little more living space but this one has met my needs fairly well.
If you go that route feel free to contact me about some improvements that I have made to mine.
