any regrets with a longer TT?

I went from 24 to 33. Love the 33. love that it will sleep up to 9. I did have to upgrade the tuck. 1/2 ton with short bed was too short of a wheel base for my 33 footer (just in my opinion).

We went from a 21' to a 30' with a slide 2 years ago and love it. Yes, it's slightly more cumbersome backing, but the trade off in extra space made up for it. Also has an outdoor kitchen which we love. We've encountered one State Park with a 30' limit, and it barely fit...but most places can accommodate it just fine. We tow it with a 2014 Ram 2500 Cummins, but for the first two years had a gas 1989 F250 that pulled it just fine.

I do suggest a 3/4 ton truck when you get into that size range, though a lot of modern half tons can be configured to tow it OK.

If you're wanting a larger trailer, go for it!

Current HTT is 22.5' and TT on order(see signature) is 27.5'. I did not want to go 5' longer but after a long search for a TT model to meet our wants and needs, this was the best fit. Hopefully we have the same experience as most of the posts in this thread and it will be no big deal. Major concern is fitting in our favorite spots.

Our Eagle is 35' from tongue to bumper....coupled with the fact that our truck is a crew cab F350 with the long bed. Suffice it to say, we are long.

Honestly, it's never been an issue, but I am very aware of it and thinking of routes at gas stations, stores, food places, etc when we are driving.

I also plan ahead when it comes to campgrounds to make sure we have plenty of room to manuever.

No regrets here...we love our TT/TV combination.

In my opinion. And remember this is my opinion only. Any trailer over 30 feet and you should get a 5th wheel. I know, I know, they have there disadvantages but, they tow so much easier at those longer lengths and that makes it safer to tow too.

I love my 20 foot TT. I could see myself getting a 23 foot. I ; personally ; don't want to get longer then that. But, that's just me. To each his own.

Have a nice Day

We went from a 26' to a 35' TT. At first, it was a little hard to get used to maneuvering, but now it's not a problem. I find that I do a lot of planning, like really looking at sites (length etc) and then along a route for gas stations etc. I get plenty from overhead maps (google earth etc). We have to be picky about sites, but so far it's worked fine. For us the benefits far outweigh the cons.

As is clear in the previous posts, length has a lot to do with personal preference. We went from a 21' to a 35' trailer and from 37' to 53' in total length and would never go back. For us, however, we don't camp in many state parks where the length is an issue, and we travel together which means I have DW to help navigate tight spots when necessary.

That said, I agree with others who have pointed out that a shift from 32 to 35' is so minimal, relatively, that it can't imagine it making that much of a difference for you.

We have a 34' Avion triple axle trailer and a 19-1/2' trailer with an Avion C-11 camper on it. The short trailer now gets all the use. It isn't as comfortable on the inside because everything is so condensed, but we can get it way back where we like to camp. Besides, we don't go to the wilderness to stay indoors. There has never been a gas station that I couldn't get the large trailer into. The problem is getting it to the wilderness. With long overhang and limited ground clearance it won't go where we want to go.

We ordered a 21T Komfort a dozen years ago .
We started with a 16 ' Nomad , then a 26' slide Fleetwood , then a 36 foot motorhome .
We kept each of those less than 3 years .
A Komfort is a little taller and heavier ( diesel TV ) than most .
We have no desire to go bigger .
We are set up to cover longer trips on the go .
We seldom use an RV park .
We dry camp without hookups 90% .
I have been towing boats all of my life and don't mind that chore .
But the smaller trailer is just plain easier to tow , back up , gas up , maneuver into the last NPS spot at Zero-Dark- Thirty .
Plus it fits nicely into many roadside viewpoints for lunch or a nap .
