Long box vs Short box

The DW and I are getting ready to start looking for our retirement 5er and new TV. As I'm new to towing this type I was wondering whether I should look for long box or short. I've already narrowed the truck to a Ram 3500 diesel CC. Thanks :D

It isn't clear if you will be full timing or not, just that it will be your retirement 5er and TV.

After the first page of answers, there were some good points on getting a long bed.

The only downside to a CC long bed for us would have been the added length while using it as our DD while in one place for 4 months in the winter. Parking lots are tight for my 1-ton let along adding another 18" to the length or adding any width (dually).

My 6.5' bed works for me and I have never had to actually use the slider function on my hitch.
