our outback with the add on rear bumper carrier I fabricated is about 38ft overall, hooked up to the pickup I'm 65ft without the bikes on the back!!
Towing isn't an issue at all, manuvering for gas etc, not an issue. yes, there are sites I can't get into, but from my experience (your's may vary) the difference between a 32' trailer and mine is negligible in terms of sites and what I can get into. Either I need to be under 30ft or I fit.
Overall, I'm about 18K lbs overall. Even towing down the columbia river gorge, known for high crosswinds almost all the time has not been an issue unless they post a warning for truck traffic.
and if the highway can handle a 30ft trailer, I've found mine is ok as well.
Bottom line, IMHO if your comfortable towing what you have, another 5 ft isn't going to make a noticeable difference.
