I think you should definitely stay under 25' to reduce how much hangs on either side of the axle. If you travel where it is heavily treed, width and height are also an issue. I really think the quality toy haulers are too much for 1/2t truck payloads because of their tongue weight. A 3/4t or 1t truck will not be that much bigger (although may be taller). It will give a harsher unloaded ride, but provide better trailering.
A Desert Fox would also be one of my recommendations, but I would also look into smaller enclosed trailers with living quarters and flipped axles. Stay away from low slung long race trailers since they have clearance issues even on driveways.
Just an alternate idea: Have you considered a bigger truck with one of the pod style off road trailers. By having a larger truck, you could stow the toys on or in the truck and still have plenty of payload for additional supplies or a supplemental water tank?
