Agree with most of the suggestions by Saddlesore. This forum is a great place to learn from other's experiences.
One thing that is often recommended is to rent a coach for a week or a weekend before you buy. Try to find one with a similar floorplan, if possible. Maybe do it again with a different rig, maybe several rentals. Each time, you'll discover more about what you need, what you want, and what would be nice to have. It may seem expensive, but in the long run it might save you tons of money.
You didn't say which Vegas model you tested. For us and the way we travel, our 2016 Vegas 25.2 is just right. That's a good thing, as to upgrade to a 2019 Vegas or Axis would cost me around $30K. Choose wisely!
BTW, when we spend a night in a parking lot, we never had a problem with extending, even with our previous coach with a side bedroom slide. Still, some coaches are a pain when retracted. Those with a corner bed are always a pain, IMHO.
Happy hunting!
