Hopefully I don't get laughed at too much as I have to believe that some of you have had this same thing happen. Last year my wife and I bought a beautiful used 2010 StarCraft Travel Star 197 RB. ...

If it were me, I wouldn't be looking for too much more of a TT than the length of the one you already have. That 19' hybrid probably opens up to at least 23' or more. I wouldn't be looking over that or 25' in a TT. Not that your vehicle can't pull a larger one, but pulling a larger one brings on other things. Even with WDH and sway bar, you will still feel a bigger push while towing it. For the two of you and one child, the size you have is plenty. Especially if you are using it only a handful of times a year. You also want to consider the places you camp. If you go to resorts or koa's, then no problem. If you go to places like federal parks, then many of them have more smaller sites than they do the larger sites. With a smaller camper, you have more options of sites to choose from. Plus a smaller camper is more meanueverable than the larger ones.
If you sell it on your own, you may make more money. But you won't have the traffic like the dealership will and you won't have to deal with the paperwork/financing also. Will it be worth it to maybe make an extra couple grand?
Also, remember this. If your current campers functions as it should and there are no issues, then that is awesome. The next used camper (or even new) may not. The grass it not always greener. Especially when dealing with used campers. You never know what issues they have that are hidden. And also, when you upgrade up, you normally take on more features and things that can break or go wrong. Keeping it as simple as you can stand is often a good thing.
