If I was to go the 24.1 route I certainly, like you would use one of those super bags.
I also like the 24.2 layout but where to sleep. There is no way my wife would sleep on the couch even less climb up the bunk. Its interesting to compare all the plans though.
Like you said, I would not notice the extra foot especially after driving the 31 footer. But now my wife will join in the fun because it is fun to drive these rigs.
Thanks guys,
