The DW and I were sitting in our monster trailer last week giggling that now that we are spoiled with room, once the kids stop camping, we'll never be able to downsize.
We started with pop-ups... one 10' box, then 14' with a slideout. Then a 26 foot hybrid with four bunks and a king hybrid bed. Moved up to a 31 footer you could bowl in, and after major trailer horrors, we moved down to a 23 footer. Three years in the 23 footer, two kids growing like weeds, added a dog, and no storage, we found our dream trailer in 32 feet. I promise you, we will never downsize that far again.
Dont get hasty. Make a list of everything you want... need, like, can do without if needed. Then start looking. Consider the possibilities of friends that may come along that dont camp. While im not interested in buying a Polish Hilton on wheels in my later camping years, I still want to have fun camping, and many times that could be with friends who dont camp regularly.
