Downsizing - How much?

I down sized temporarily. My new rig does not have enough storage. A trailer needs for clothing and a pantry at least. I like around 23-25 feet including the trailer hitch.

We found a 26' TT too small for two people on rainy days - and not many options for comfortable seating. TT furniture is not in the same league as what you had in your class A.

Edited above post.

I (widow) went from a 31' fifth-wheel to a 26' travel trailer, with a cocker spaniel. I do have a front bedroom, sofa and dinette floorplan, no slide.
Personally, for just me is doable, but for 2, would find it pretty tight.
Outside pass-thru storage in front, but not very high, so not easily accessible. Depends on how much you use it and can cope with bad weather days.

We like the Puma 26RLSS ... but it’s not 26 ft. More like 31 ft.

Thanks!

Like so many, the OP asked a question that only he knows the answer to. Full timing? Weekend trips? Tow vehicle? Destinations? Budget? So many variables. I have traveled in fifth wheels, travel trailers, 34' Class A motorhome, Sprinter chassis class B, and just finished up three months in a truck camper. What works for me, might not work for you.

IMO you cant get much more spot on than this^^^^^^^ While some may judge it as "fence sitting" only the OP knows what he & the wife needs are.

Let me say... weekend use, some weekday use, a coast-to-coast trip, dodge 2500 diesel. but, I do like smaller campers best.

Our 25 ft Airstream was the perfect size for 2. It was half ton towable. It was our first travel trailer and wish we had never sold.

Exactly. I personally don't see how any couple could find any trailer measuring ~ 25' coupler to bumper as "too small" or offer too little storage. After all, unless you're living in it full time how much space do 2 adults really need, how much storage? :h These are recreational vehicles intended for occasional occupancy a few days to perhaps a few weeks at a time. Fellow around the corner bought a new Coachmen Freedom Express 204RD last year and as far as I can tell it's been off his driveway exactly once this entire season :R ... SO tempting to go ask him if I could buy it! Like most Airstreams it too doesn't have a slide - JMO but shorter and simpler the better. :B
