Class C RV model recommendations

My wife and I are recently retired and in the market for a used RV with a particular floor plan. We’d like a walk around queen bed (separate, private bedroom with door). Mid cabin bathroom/shower with sink outside the bathroom. Diesel engine. Bunk over cab. Dinette or chairs ok. Swivel front seats would be nice. And as short as possible, like in the 24-28 foot range. Anyone have the perfect make and model to recommend?

I wish you luck but sadly you will need it. A walk around bed, private bedroom with a door in a Class C will only be possible in something larger than you seek. They start showing up at around 28'+ and do not come with the most popular diesel {Mercedes Benz} as they are only found in the 25' or under models. Diesels become common if you move up to a Super C but that is a lot more coach, not to mention money than you are seeking.

Some of your other priorities can be met but filling all or even most of them is going to akin to searching for Unicorn. If you can adjust to a V-8 or 10 in a slightly larger coach you should be able to check most of the boxes. {The new Ford 7.3 V -8 is getting good reviews.}

If you start considering a larger size watch your payload carefully. The larger C's tend to be very short on CCC/OCC and adding a slide{s} exacerbates this issue and your coach will probably involve a slide. Be sure you can use all of the amenities when it is in and know that street side slide will often restrict how much leg room the driver can access. Make the swiveling front seats a priority, I wish my 24 footer had them.

Good luck.
