We have and most days love our Rockwood Minilite 2504S. It is around 25’, was two single bunks for the kids and a Murphy bed. Love the Murphy bed as it lets us have so much in a small trailer. It is totally different then setting a table up to sleep on. It can be converted from couch to sleeping In About 20 seconds with one. In the morning you just put the pillows on the bedside tables, pull the straps over top blankets and sheet and all and lift. It is a short queen, and a full size queen will not fit, but any short queen will. We have enough open floor space that we could have the play pen set up for our newborn. Bunks make great storage when the kids are still to small to sleeep on them. We spent 23 nights in it In July.
Things we dislike are the small tank sizes and the U dinette. We only get about three days capacity on the tanks.

All good points that others have suggested.
Something you may want to consider is something similar to what I have. I have a 2007 Keystone Outback 25RSS, it has a rear bed slide as well as a side slide and bunks across the front. 26 feet, right around 6000lbs fully loaded for camping. 50 gallon fresh/grey/black tanks. Got the trailer when kids were coming along, so the bunks worked good for them. Kids no longer coming along, so the bunks are now a good storage space, with things out of the way. Only thing I would change about my trailer is the rear slide bed. If I had to do it again, I'd look for the same thing, only with the bed shifted 90 degrees. Instead of side-by-side sideways, I'd prefer a bed with the head at the back/window wall. Easier to get in/out, and easier to make up the bed.
When I got it, I was towing it with a 2003 Chevy Tahoe. It was a capable tow vehicle, but quickly ran out of power towing in the Colorado mountains. It would go, just not very fast, on some steep uphills and downhills.

I can't comment on a specific brand. When buying used, condition is more important than the make.
I do know that setting up or taking down a dinette or sofa as a bed gets real old, real quick. I'm guessing a murphy bed will be about the same.
Something with bunk beds would be my choice. But, I don't know if you can find something in your size range equipped with bunks.
Look at lots of TT's, new and used, before you make your decision.
And, when you find something you like, make sure everything is fixed and working to your standards BEFORE you sign any papers or give the seller any money.
Don't listen to a sales person who tells you to sign the papers, take the TT home and bring it back later for repairs or adjustments.
Take your time and don't be in a hurry to buy.
Enjoy your travels.
