Might be a good suggestion to find an RV show and visit it with a tape measure. Then you can actually see and touch what is out there. I personally have no idea and even if I were in the market I wouldn't have a 7' width limit. You apparently have reasons for that size. And if you can't find a show, you might find a dealer nearby with some new/used inventory to scope out.
As for the items you would rather not have I think you are stuck there. I used to boat for decades and as the years went by the "standard" item list grew bigger and bigger and if I were in the market for the newer boats I would have had to take all sorts of glitz and glamor that I not only didn't want but didn't like either. I recall being on a 42' boat once that had a floor to ceiling entertainment unit with TV, stereo and all sorts of other useless stuff while taking up a nice wall that could have been put to better use. But the mass marketing types think we ALL want that.
