I've never owned a TT that small, can you get a full sized queen bed in one that you don't have to fold up every day? Shower will be small and very limited closet / storage space.
Difference between 20ft and 23ft trailer: a COACH.
In 20ft TT you have: queen bed, bathroom with shower, tiny kitchen counter and dinette. No need to fold the bed daily, except for some models where they have a sofa bed.
In 23ft you have all the above, plus a Coach. Makes a world of difference. You can't seat on the bed to read or relax with a coffee or cold drink. You can't relax on dinette benches either - those are torture devices.
Cabinet space will be about the same in both 20ft and 23ft.
Instead of shower some >22ft TT have a tiny shallow bathtub with shower - BAD IDEA. Too small for anything but a cat, and stepping in/out is more difficult than in a shower stall.
Also, if you're taller than 5ft 5", consider a bed placed crosswise rather than lengthwise. Beds in trailers are a bit shorter than normal residential bed. I'm 5ft 7" and my lengthwise bed is barely long enough for me, feet are in the air if I stretch.
When bed is placed crosswise, you have to step over one another, but the length is generous 7.5ft (unless they've squeezed some cabinet or night stand at one end). Standard TT has 8ft outside width, 7.5ft inside.
I hope the OP knows that trailer length in specs normally includes 3.5ft hitch. So 20ft trailer is a 16.5ft box, 16*7.5= 123 sq.ft inside area.
