How big is big enough?
I am considering going full time. For one person, what is the minimum travel trailer length you would be comfortable in?.... Due to size constraints in National Forest campgrounds out west, 30'...

I looked more closely at your tow vehicle and where you are located clarkster. Based on that info, I am betting you are a little like me - prefer to get far away from civilization and enjoy outdoors-ie type hobbies (fishing, mountain biking, hiking, etc.).
If not, ignore me. If so, some thoughts...
I occasionally consider trading a good bit of "comfort" for a setup that would allow me to get FAR off-road out here in the west (forests and desert). A 4x4 truck (which you have). A tough trailer with big tires and lots of ground clearance - probably not a 5er as I think a big topper on the truck is needed for storing stuff (bikes, kayak, fishing gear, etc.). I most often think of this setup as I am driving my Jeep deep into the forest or desert on ratty old "trails." I start wondering if the best approach would be an enclosed cargo trailer that I converted myself. Lots of what I want and very little of 'what the masses want.' So, lots of solar, battery capacity, water, insulation (cold mountain top air), etc. Very little designer fabric, custom carpet, etc.
Now, don't get me wrong, I like fancy and comfortable. But, I think a high level of capability to get me where I want to be would be an acceptable trade for some amount of fancy and comfort. I could be ENTIRELY wrong - I've never done it and I've not spent any real time researching the possibilities. So, just rambling on, hoping to give you some ideas.
