I think that a 40 ft MH would be ideal for two people. When I started out on this forum the advice was you want 36 ft or more to be comfortable for two.
I bought a 36 ft 2000 Bounder (gas), then less than a year later traded it for a 38 ft 1999 DSDP, and then within a few months bought a 40ft 2003 DSDP (had two DP for a few months - 3 MHs in 18 months!!!):S
The first was a learning experience and finding out that the gas was noisier than I liked and I hated climbing over the engine doghouse, but it was under my budget (50K total for MH and toad).
I traded the Bounder for the 1999 DSDP (same toad), it was much better in ride, comfort but still lacked a few things I wanted, like 10,000lb towing capacity and a washer dryer combo and it only had one slide.
The 3rd (and last for a while) was at a price that I couldn't afford to pass up and it had everything we wanted. Paid cash for it and then had to sell the 2nd one. No more funds left but happy with the 2003.
So, like others have said (and few have done) buy your last MH first!
On the other had, I have no regrets (and really didn't loose much financially moving up) and I enjoy the "hunt".
Oh yeah, also no problems finding places to stay.
(((Don't tell the DW but 40-45ft SuperC's (like the Dynamax)look real intriguing))
Good Luck
