My floor plan is different ...no bunks, much more counter space, and two smaller slides rather than one big one....but I feel qualified to add a few comments for you as food for thought since mine is a similar size and chassis

Our rig is heavy...basically the rear axle is more or less at capacity when the rig is loaded with family and stuff. Tires are overloaded. I wish I had had a better handle on the actual weight when I bought it. I've had one blow out that caused some real damage and tires are a constant worry.

My grey water tank is a limitation. Doable for weekend trips (and even longer) but a beach trip when all 5 of us shower pretty much means a dump is needed soon


That said, we have enjoyed ours, longest trip was from NE Florida to Grand Canyon and back. 2nd longest trip was San Antonio and back
We've stayed in it a total of 140 nights so far since the summer of 2014...mostly weekend and long weekend type trips with a few week long. Many nights boondocking off grid. 140 doesn't seem like a lot, but it is for a busy family only doing occasional weekend stuff...especially considering we've only slowed down with it as the kids have gotten older

My other comment...this is just a call out for you to do some research. Used to be that those large full length slides were problematic. I don't know if they are really better now or not...
