Help me pick out a replacement camper

This happened to my camper about a month ago. After dealing with insurance, I found out we have replacement insurance. ๐Ÿ˜„ So, now I have to pick out a camper to finish the offer with insurance.

A little about us (my wife, dog and me): We don't hang out in the camper a lot. We have a 4 wheeler that we hit the trails with, sit around the campfire, or go to the touristy towns around us. We have it parked on private property, but we do plan on going for 2 or 3 trips with it a summer, and on labor day week, we have the week off and plan on going somewhere with the camper. I do like to cook while camping, but in our old sportsmen classic, it was hard with the lack of room. We do have a couple guest that stay with us once or twice a summer, maybe 5 total (including us). We are going shopping today, but I have found these options online:

Sportsmen S241RKS for $18,00
Rockwood Mini Ultra 2506s for around $19,000
Sportsmen S281RLSS for $17,500 Probably the best deal, but I think the dealer is making room for the 2016. This is the dealer we bought our last camper with and has been a lot of help through the flood process, I would like to do business with him.

I know a lot of this is personal preference, I did like our Sportsmen Classic and would like to stick with KZ, but I'm sure I would like the Rockwood, too. Thanks for any advice.

You pick the floor plan your DW likes.

Simple enough.
Twenty six foot 2010 Dutchmen Lite pulled with a 2011 EcoBoost F-150 4x4.

Just right for Grandpa, Grandma and the dog.

At 26' I like the Rockwood, the bigger kitchen and open floor plan with the U-dinette. Also like where the TV is. Like the corner shower and extra storage in bathroom. Just so it has enough outside storage.
