The 20 footer - - -

Need double sink? --20 footer has it

Need 3 burners? --20 footer has it

Want a crowded bath? --20 footer is not crowed. I was really surprised at how much space it does have in the bath

Want a dinette table which is not very central to kitchen for food prep? -- with the 20 footer you have so much more counter space that you don't need the table for food prep. You can actually set the table and wait for dinner to be ready.

Is dinette seating for only 2 persons O K ? ---20 footer seats 4

Do you not want a privacy curtain for the bedroom? -- 20 footer has one

Do you not need a night stand for a flat screen? ---why would you need that with a wall mount for the TV?

Want a cramped and closed in floor plan? --- ya, but all RVs without slides have that

Want a shorter but wider trailer? --- can't comment on this one. I don't know the specs on the others

Want to spend more money? Ya, the 22 is less expensive, but they have less expensive appliances also

Want a bed configuration creating a more difficult crawl over? - Yup, that's true but we have two beds so no one crawls over anyone.

I recommend the one that you are most comfortable on the bed and in the throne room.

What is your truck?
Personally I would want to go bigger than either of those, but the top picture looks like better flow in the kitchen and bathroom area. In the top floor plan, the kitchen and bath look less crowded/easier to use. I personally do not like the "east/west facing" beds.
For me anything less than 28-30' is too short or has some compromise- flow, storage, walk-around room, view, etc.
Also, I like the comfort/security of having 2 axles/4 tires on the ground.
The new 26U floor plan looks OK.
When you actually go into a trailer in person, imagine living there. Sit in the dinette. Imagine yourself cooking, washing dishes, showering, etc. Sit on the toilet. Get a feel for the space. Think about the activities you will be doing. Will you have enough storage for clothes, food, dishes, towels, hobby related stuff, etc.
