Thanks, Ricky. And, yes, I have signed my donor card. : )
I did volunteer work for CA's organ donor network just out of college, and after meeting several donor and recipient families, it's a cause close to my heart.
We think we've found one, but it's rear twin & that'll be hard with 5 of us. We're going to go "try it on" & hopefully buy it tomorrow!
I've seen the six-sleeper 25 footers. The arrangement is corner bed (2), foldout couch (2 very cozy!), and drop down the dinette (2 only if they're quite small). Six-sleeper is a bit of a stretch if you ask me.
Camping with a 25' Airstream and a family of 5 might work with kids topping out at ages 13-14. This might work better if you were able to hang a bunk like days of old -- but the hardware is not available.
My 25' FB sleeps a third person on the couch without changing anything; the couch platform next to the fridge does pull out maybe 8-10" but isn't real strong. I can drop the dinette for a fourth person easily enough. The problem with any of these is when kids sprout up -- but they won't want to camp when they're older teenagers anyway. It might work for a larger child to have the adventure of a small tent with a thermarest for most nights; treat the trailer inside as a bivouac option and squeeze everybody in there for stormy nights.
Even the bigger trailers are questionable. If I had to rate the sleeping capacity of my Classic 31' slide out, I'd give almost the same report. Sofa sleeping for two would be cozy sleeping only. The dinette would be one person, or two small kids.

If you're looking for a used 25 SS check with Toscano...we just traded our 2007 for a 2008 After they replace a couple of the skins the unit will look brand new at a "used" price.
