To this I would add the 5" Flarespace bump outs on both rear windows and the adults sleep sideways. You get a possible length of about 77 inches. There isn't much space between the top of the wheel wells and the bottom of such a bed, so I'd turn the kids' bed 90 degrees and have them sleeping lengthwise under the parents' bed, between the wheel wells. SMB could put some of the mechanicals in the cavities aft, afore, and directly above the wheel wells.
It's hard to carry enough water to use a shower, especially for four. SMB West is building a toilet room for me that they've done 1 time previously. The toilet will be behind the driver and facing the sliding door. The room will be 24" wide and about 22" deep, but will have dual bifold doors folded in when not in use. When needed for use, the bifold doors reconfigure to make the room 24" wide by about 34" deep, allowing leg room. This saves some interior room. Stop at campgrounds and truck stops for showers, take sponge baths from the sink, use a rear shower, go several days without a shower, stay occasionally in a motel.
My own floor plan is attached to
