We upgraded from a 24' to 28' TT and I noticed some differences but not too much. The 28' actually handles and tracks better backing up. But it just looks so much more massive than its predecessor. I can't imagine anything over 30' long. It was a tight fit getting our 28' TT (which is 31' bumper to hitch)into some sites this past summer, and also just navigating some CG twisty roads with trees along both sides.
It isn't really even an issue for us, because the 28' TT maxxes out the capacity of my TV, and also is the longest TT I can fit on the side of the house.
Since my two daughters are now young adults and don't come with us very often, anything bigger than what we have is overkill. I can't imagine every needing something 37' long, unless I was going to have a seasonal site somewhere. Even then, most people have TTs in the 30-32' length on seasonal sites, unless they have park models.
IMO - the abundance of the room provided with slideouts today negates the need to have extremely long units. Unless you have a really large family and want to lock them away on the opposite end of the TT. ;)
