Those are excellent points...I have mostly been working numbers on weights to ensure I don't over burden the vehicle (i.e. my published tow watch weight is 7,200lbs but I calculated out that 6,000 was the limit given TV GVW, passengers, and tongue weight).
I also believe the 29' is tongue to tail and the "sail" portion is 26' (could be wrong). Not this makes a huge difference...
Most trailers I see with bunk options (I have 3 kids) are in solidly in the mid to high 20's on total length and mid 20's on "sail" length.
