How long is too long when looking at new TT

Hoping to upgrade our current 28'9" TT to something larger with more room. We are leaning toward the Keystone Premier 34BHPR that is 37' long. I know that many manufacturers make TT's longer but looking for opinions from others that camp with longer TT's to see if there are other disadvantages to them other than towing a longer and heavier trailer. Do you ever have troube fitting into camping spots?

    I can't offer a valid opinion without knowing what you are towing with. You need a lot of truck to safely tow 37'.
  • We are also considering upgrading to a 37 footer. The actual towing down the road won't change.

    Getting into some campgrounds,(narrow roads) will become more of an issue.

    There will some sites that we expect not to be able to get into. When we bought our thirty footer we did so because we planned on staying in National Forests a lot. As it turned out we did not.

    Other than national forests, with their older sites, most parks can easily handle 37 feet, maybe just not in every site.

    We are not going to worry about it.
  • My last TT was 39' long. With the proper set up and adequate TV a long TT is no problem.
    I was not totally satisfied with my prior combo until I upgraded to a Hensley Arrow hitch. Nevertheless the combo was great.
    While ultimately I was always able to find a spot . A longer TT can present challenges finding and maneuvering into a camp site vs. shorter models
  • There is no way I would ever attempt a TT that big. Just too much that can go wrong. IMHO anything over 30 feet becomes unwieldy really fast.
