Suggestions for best Toy Hauler

We're moving up from our bumper pull 29' Thor Fury toy hauler to a gooseneck or fifth wheel that will accomodate a sandrail/desert car. We love the Fury, but it is a bit too much foo-foo for me. I like the looks of the checkerboard linoleum, but I have to scrub and mop after every trip. I like the dual electric queen bunks, but we've decided that everyone else can fend for themselves so we have more room and cargo capacity. We want something a bit more utilitarian (Millenium, Santek, especially leaning towards TPD since they are local) so I can pressure wash the cargo area. I could get by with an enclosed trailer and a mattress, but SHE NEEDS a shower/potty, heat and A/C or it's a no go.
What else should I keep in mind? Any good stuff to lean towards? Any bad stuff to stay away from?
Yes, unfortunately I will be lowering my truck back to stock or a leveling kit height, maybe even convert it to a dually to make it more compatible with a larger trailer.
As always, thank for the help/support/guidance!
