Would that be too small for us and three grandchildren or would we go nuts. Are slides a problem on the older units of 8 years or so? Also are small units any more prone to problems? Ideal would be 27 or 28 foot bumper to bumper, however not many out there. Any advice is welcome and helpful.
Thanks.
Based on my experience of having a 23' travel trailer for six years, two adults and three kids in a 23' class C is going to be very tight if the trips are more than a couple of days. Doable but not a very pleasant living experience. On a rainy day where you're stuck on the inside especially so.
The corner bed is a hassle as another poster said. If one of you is a light sleeper and/or has a hard time falling asleep after begin woken the getting in and out of bed once or twice a night for a bathroom run by the person sleeping on the inside is a problem. Getting a walk around bed was one of my wife's "must haves" when we decide to get a new trailer.
