I made the move from a 25 ft. TT to a 31 ft. fifth wheel for camping scenarios similar to yours. We are overall happy but realize there are tradeoffs.

A word of caution. Your truck has tailgate height of 60" or more. Early 2,000s trailers were built to fit the trucks of the day which were lower.

There is no way my 2008 trailer will fit your new truck. Click my profile and cross that model off your list.
Good luck and have fun with your search.
