When does a TH become too big??
I'm about 1 1/2 years out from buying a TH for a combination of using it to 1) hit some off road sites and 2) general travel to visit the United States. Most of my travels will be 2-4 weeks solo with ...

The axels are further back than a traditional camper where the axels are more centered. So the 34-35 your looking at is probably gonna back like a 38-40ft traditiona 5th wheel. My 42' was rediculous...which is why it went bye bye.
Interesting, never gave much thought to backing and position of wheels on the trailer.
Back several years ago I had a 18 ft car hauler that I could back up with not problem and put it wherever I wanted to. Borrowed a friends enclosed 10 ft trailer one day and was all over the place trying to back that thing up, I was going WTF.
ever try to back up a 3 rail bike trailer or a cement mixer? Nearly impossible without a LOT of practice.
I noticed a BIG difference when I went from my toy hauler to a conventional fifth wheel (both 30' overall). I live on a typical residential street and if there was someone parked across from my driveway it was JUST possible to get the toy hauler in the driveway. Now with the Wildcat I can get it in no problem. If you have a short bed truck look at the front cap and ask about turning radius when shopping. My Wildcat has a tapered front that allows me to go over 90 degrees without sliding the hitch back, don't need the slider anymore (only used it twice with the Toy Hauler but was much more careful than I need to be now).
