How many people is "we?" How much stuff do "we" need to keep and carry with us?
Some people can get their life down to what fits in a car, on the back of their motorcycle, in a shopping cart, or a backpack. Others can pare down for a couple weeks or a few months at a time, but still need a bigger place to call home.
A lot of people are in 40-45 foot motorhomes because that is their minimum comfortable lifestyle. They might be full time, or just going for the season.
I've known several people, singles, for whom everything they owned, everything they thought they needed could fit. in their car, then it was often a VW van, but at least one did OK with a compact sedan, VW type 1. But they did not also live in that space, and they all eventually outgrew this, buying houses or apartments and needing moving vans to carry the stuff they owned.
I've also met families of four to six people full timing in a 24-28 foot TT, with a tow vehicle and sometimes a second car to help carry the people and their extra stuff. I meet these. people in RV parks and trailer parks that cater to people who move around to work at temporary jobs.
So maybe 17 foot TT would work for full timing if you can fit in the space, and your lifestyle fits the space. Only you can figure out what works for you.
