So, I started with a popup tent and thought that was too big to store and drag around. Fast forward 15 years and I'm realizing kids are getting too big and I need a bigger RV.... again.

Kids are: twins @ 5, girl @ 6 and older boy @ 15.

I'm currently in a 30' 2 bunk trailer (34' from bumper to ball). I've found some good quad bunk trailers in the 33' range (presumably around 37' from bumper to ball) but the ones I really like are 37' or so (a scary 40' from bumper to ball).

I have plenty of truck to haul basically any TT so that's no problem. Parking at my house would be a bit more of a hassle but doable. My main concern is just hauling 40' of trailer around and trying to find camp spots and places to stop while traveling.

How many of you regret hauling such a huge TT? Anyone gone big and regretted it? Anyone gone big and then back to something smaller?

I just keep trying to justify it by thinking, "well, that's only 2 feet longer.... and the next one is only three feet longer than that," and pretty soon I'm going to hauling a 93' TT :)

Thanks for sharing any experiences.

Hmm.. to think my parents "forced" all SIX kids AND themselves into a pickup truck with a cap then later into a pickup truck with a 12ft slide in (yep, us kids RODE in the back of the truck cap and later in the slide in.. From 4yrs old up to 18 years of age.. Spent 3 WEEKS IN A ROW EVERY YEAR traveling the east coast..

Didn't kill anyone of us..

Kids now days are really spoiled rotten..

The kids aren't spoiled, all of us parents are spoiled. I too remember six of us crammed into little log cabins, truck slide-in campers, and tents. It was fun for the kids, but horrible for the parents.

I choose to have a separate bedroom from my kids in both the trailer, and any hotel stays, cottages, ect.

They are just lucky to get the extra space, but it isn't for their benefit LOL
