Hubby thinks we would be fine with a small MH or TT, like a 25' one. I keep reminding him that we have been in a 29' and a 31' MH (no slide outs) and how tight that was for us. I like to kick back and have some space .... And more than a couple of inches of counter space in the kitchen. I think once we start going to some dealerships and he sees how small he is talking about, he will change his mind.

I have to run to the grocery. Just need to remember to pick up a lottery ticket. :)

Something you yourself might keep in mind is the possibility that when Hubby suggests a 25 foot trailer, he may be allowing for the fact that except for the overhead bunk in a Class C, the first six feet or so is engine/cockpit space. A 25 foot or so trailer is a rough equivalent, usable space-wise, of a thirty foot MH, and they can be had even within your likely weight restrictions with a slide or two for extra space.

Also, and this is Very Protective Grandma speaking:

Your children will be much, much safer traveling in the well protected passenger area of the Tundra than in the rear area of ANY motorhome. Recreational vehicles are exempt from most safety requirements except perhaps in the "cockpit" area. Everything behind the front seat area is un-crash-protected except perhaps for the presence of a seat belt or two. Do take a good hard look at the construction/interior add-ons of the living space of these units and try to visualize what may happen back there in a crash. I think you'll see what I mean!

We have been out on the road, and he will see one of the 20 foot MH's and say, "We could get along in that." Again, I have to remind him of what we have been in the past, and how cramped we were.

We don't have kids that will be traveling with us, except the four-legged kind. :)
