At what point does length cease to matter?

Sorry about the thread title...when I read it now it sounds kinda dirty.

We've been looking for a 5er in the 33-36 ft range. There is just the two of us and I'm accustomed to pulling a 33 ft TT, so I'm comfortable in that length. Have a chance to get a Big Country 3650RL for a really good price, which comes in at 39' 5", and I'm starting to think "another 3 1/2 feet, So what?"

For all of you 5er veterans out there, at what point do you go from pulling a trailer to feeling like you've got about a million feet of trailer behind you? I'm sure it's different for everyone.

If the price is truly excellent, and there's no reason you can't beat up the seller a bit more, go for it. Use it for 1-2 years, then decide if it's too much or not enough for your tastes. You'll lose money when you sell it, but consider it "rent" and "education fees" for the one you =really= want. :-) If it's "just right", then keep it until you need a change a few years down the road.
