Is downsizing a bad idea?

I thought I'd give the first report of our downsizing comparison with the trip home yesterday from the dealer (photos will follow). As I mentioned, the new trailer is a little over 3' shorter than our old. Both are fifth wheels, the old one a 2005 Komfort 291FSG, the new a 2016 Arctic Fox 27-5L. The comparison done with both rigs empty of stuff. Night and day different, our new one is such a better fit for our truck than the old one. Less pin weight which makes the truck work less, braking better as well as acceleration. I had to laugh at backing into the driveway as I felt I was learning to back all over again. 3' doesn't sound like a lot, but from the pinbox to the wheels being 3' shortest (I measured) I could easily see how getting into smaller spots will be improved.
