Are you happy with the size?
Of your travel trailer that is. I'm a new poster here and we're researching buying our first TT. Our main requirement is that we don't want to have to convert our table into a bed every night. So, ...

OK, I know I've rambled a bit here, and thank-you for hanging in there if you've read all this. Point I'm making is, there are many unforeseen things that will unearth in any camper you purchase. But it will take time for that to happen. Be open minded about trading someday, when you make your FIRST purchase. Take good care of your first camper, because chances are in 2 - 3 years, you will be trading. Finances increase, needs change, life events happen (like babies or aging parents).... either one may end up camping with you!
Good luck in your search, visit lots of RV dealerships and attend RV shows when they are close to your area! FYI, surfing the internet is great! Looking a floor plans is wonderful. But floor plans and actually standing in the camper are 2 totally different experiences! Floor plans amaze you! Standing in the camper "shocks" you (into reality!)
I'm with Dutchmen.
I took a lot of ideas from around here into consideration before we bought our first TT. We *could* camp with much less, but it sure is nice having a bigger unit with more comfortable interior space (similar to Dutchmens pic's). Camping is about relaxing and having fun, not just providing the basic necessities of cooking meals, keeping the rain off, and a place to sleep. If any of it's a hassle, we will be less likely to use it.
We just found another advantage of having that space when we took a second dog along on the latest camping trip. He sleeps exclusively in his medium sized crate (24" x 36"). Having the floor space to set that crate without having to fold it up each morning sure was nice.
