Hi wtxnitz

Welcome. I think some of your questions have been answered elsewhere but I will try to answer some.

Weight / beds: I found this from a 2006 post on the forum.... "I placed a call to TM and they told me that the beds are rated for 600 # but are tested at 1200 #." That sounds about right to me. A quick internet search found similar ratings for pop up trailers. I have to say my TM bed feels more sturdy than my old pop up bed.

Let me just say I am also a rather stout person. Me and the dog combine for just under 2/3rds of the 600# rating. No problems. If you can test one out at a dealer, both of you should climb out and test it out. Don't think you should have a problem.

Best Floor plan: this is totally personal preference. I like my dinette and would never want or need the bed on both ends. But I camp alone with just me and my dog. I like to sit at a table to eat and read if it's a rainy day. I don't have hookups or tv so that doesn't factor into my usage. In fact my absolutely favorite thing to do is lie in bed reading with all the windows open and my dog by my side playing with her toys. Somehow that always ends in nap time. Ah yes....what a nice way to spend an afternoon.

I have never converted the dinette to a bed but I think it would be more comfortable than converting the sofa. Downside of dinette is it's harder to access the cabinets over the front end.

Mattresses? Again personal preference. I sleep on a tempur pedic at home, and had replaced my old popup mattress with better foam plus a topper. First thing I did when i got my TM was test the mattress, and then I replaced with memory foam mattress. As for bedding? I like the same sheets I use at home, along with my down comforter.
