How long is too long?
I used to have a 21-foot travel trailer that I lived in full-time. It was liveable, but cramped. Now I'm looking for another trailer, and I want something bigger, but not too big. Most of the time,...

A 21' footer isn't roomy enough for most people to live in from what I have read and heard. But if you get one with a slide, you will be really amazed at the difference. You will still fit in almost all camping sites and still have some breathing room.
Most of the time, the trailer will sit in an RV park while I'm stuck going to work every day. But when I have the chance to go somewhere, I like to get off the beaten track, and I don't want a trailer that's too big for the graded dirt roads in the mountains and deserts of the West of the sort that I used to take my old 21-footer on without trouble.
Then look for the shorter TTs with slides. You will have more width with less length.
I'm looking for used trailers, and there's not that much to choose from. One ad, for instance, is for a Fleetwood 28X. I'm thinking that might be too big. Any thoughts?
It sounds too long for what you are looking for. Check Craigslist under RVs for your state and city. Then surrounding cities. I assure you that unless you live in a small town in the boonies, you will find plenty of used TTs in the size you want.
