How much space you need is up to you. Some couples do fine full time in a truck camper or 13-foot lightweight trailer. My wife and I settled on a 30-foot C, which is equivalent in space to a 25 foot TT, if you don't count the overhead bunk in the C.

These are two separate issues. Friends who have failed to separate the two have gone through a succession of TT upgrades for room, and TV upgrades for towing, before sorting it out.

You need to find some RV shows, or dealers with broad inventories, to find out just what is available, and 'try it on' for the livability part.
