Does anyone make a TT like this?
We’ve been looking at buying a Class A motorhome, mostly in order to get dual pane windows, better insulation and enclosed belly, better kitchen space, and easier setup. I’ve recently noticed a cou...

I’ve been to several big RV shows. I think most TTs are designed for families with children and they need at least 2 TVs and plenty of space so the children can play inside on rainy days. I get the impression that no one designs TTs with just a couple like us in mind. The latter seems to be addressed by the Class A designers.
I’m willing to go longer on a TT, so long as I can tow it with a half-ton truck.
The current TT, a Pioneer 19T4, has a box 20-feet long. I cannot imagine a reason why someone could not make a TT that has a box, 4-, 8-, or even 12-feet longer that had a similar layout and used the extra space for a better kitchen, rather than using it for a sofa (or two,) plus a couple of recliners, plus a couple of huge TVs, and maybe an electric fireplace.
For example: Creek Side 26RLS – GVWR 8200 pounds, dry hitch weight 710 pounds. http://www.outdoorsrvmfg.com/creekside/model.php?id=131 Seems well-insulated and dual pane glass is available. I wouldn’t hesitate to tow this, but . . . The last 6-feet or so in the back is, to me, wasted space that could be better used for a nice pantry and a little more counter space. For that matter, it wouldn’t bother me to lose a couple of feet at the back, make the slide only the dinette, and make the back wall kitchen counter and pantry. At lease lose either the sofa or the recliners and make better kitchen space.
As it is, that design has far less storage, in both kitchen and bedroom, than our current entry-level TT that is 6 feet shorter. Also, from what I can see, there is not a single drawer in the bedroom, and except for the overheads 100% of the wardrobe space appears to be hanging lockers.
So, I’m satisfied that what I want could be done. Maybe no one has chosen to do it in a TT.
