Sold the class A and ready to downsize back to a TT. I really prefer an RLS (rear living room) rig for just two older folks. Is a 21' tandem-axle way too small, or would you go with a 26' RLS camper?I could name a dozen or more reasons to get a smaller rig, but larger is nice only for the extra room to roam around in.Decisions..... ThanksEdit: this is actual body length, not including the hitch.

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.Rob

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!Jeremiah

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.
