Even in my parents 17' Shasta, it had a long sofa and a dinette.
On the same page Mike. Had a Eureka Silver Dome, then a Coleman Rio Grande, and now the TT. My parents bought a new 17' Shasta back in 59.
My dads Shasta was an early 70's model bought in the late 70s.
It's behind my old Rockwood Pop Up.

I would rather have a pop up with more beds, sitting areas, and a bathroom.
They do have Bathrooms and a separate Sofa.
Dinettes tend to be this size.
From the many I've seen, usually not all 3 together. Even your pic of the dinette is for another camper, as your sofa pic is the dinette as well.
On your pic, the sofas are crammed together offering little legroom for both people sitting across from one another. Makes sense since that floorplan doesn't have a dedicated dinette. They are cramming 2 sofas together to make a dinette.
I appreciate comfortable sitting when stuck inside because of rain. Even having my tent chairs inside my Eurkea tents on rainy days, are more comfortable than many trailer's cramped seating areas.
With a travel trailer, I also want a full size 2 door refrigerator and a double sink, neither are offered in that floorplan. I worked around a single door refrigerator in the pop up as well as the small single kitchen sink. I don't want those limitations in a travel trailer.
These campers are what we consider small ultralights which obviously come with limitations to be light and small. Since I don't require that and the limitations that go with it, it doesn't appeal to me. The high prices don't appeal to me either. 🙂
Each to their own.
I'm still a Eureka Copper Canyon tenter:); certainly will be this summer since my TT won't be ready before the fall. I'll admit that a driving reason for getting an RV is easy early morn hot beverage day starters:h. And and another reason I don't particularly like big RVs is someone has to clean it and really nobody should turn in MY direction...of course if someone has the foresight to kidnap the cleaning lady and bring her along...heyyyyy why don't we just get a class A? ;).

Stylish designing to the nth!:C
I'm perfectly content in a smaller space with a design ethos I can appreciate than a larger one that I don't.
I also can't wrap my head around the need for a dining area when parks have table and benches on site. Maybe I'll change my mind when I actually get on the road.
Now to track down that Brit site's printed article.
