The perferct unit might exceed the capabilites of you Suburban, so you should certainly get some true CAT Scale weights on the suburban to see how much payload is remaining for tongue weight and the WD hitch before making a purchase. Nothing worse than forcing a TV upgrade before you really plan to repalce it. Ignore all sales people and do the math yourself.
As for the TT, we have 3 kids, started with simple rear bunks but quickly realized a bunk room was more suitable for us. It's one thing to have permanent beds, opposed to converting tables and couches, but you also need to consider where the kids stuff will go. We didn't go hog wild and get a bunk house with bunk slides for the kids to hang out in, but we do have a sepeate bunk room with 4 bunks 2 per side. We have a JayFlight 29QBH, we opted not to get the outside kitchen as it wasn't as valuable to us as the 4th bunk was. We really appreacaite having a place to isolate the kids clothes and other gear so that it doens't spread all over the main living space in the middle.
A seperate outside door to the bathroom would have been a nice feature. We didn't get it because it would have required getting a longer trailer (35+ Ft)and we wanted to stay as close to 30'as possible due to where we prefer tocamp. Had it been a option in a TT < 35' TT we would have liked it.
Lots of things to consider in selecting a floorplan.
