Pulling a 32ft

Anyone pulling a 32ft Camper for weekend and extended weekend trips?
I currently own a 27ft and it is easy as pie to trailer and maneuver in to the sites. We are looking for a new camper and found a 32ft that we like. The only thing that has me on the fence is the length. Not sure I am going to like pulling around something that long and don't want to be limited on the distance we can travel. The new one is only 1000lbs heavier so weight is not an issue. Any thoughts?
  • I pull a 34' forest river Aviator of about 8,000 lbs. empty without a W/D hitch, but than I am towing it behind a 2012 F350 Dually diesel, don't even notice it back there.
  • My wife and I thought we would be a little more limited in the places we could go in the USFS land but as it turns out that it doesn't make much difference. We use our new trailer the same as we did the old for weekends mostly and some extended weekends.
  • I have pondered the same OP (except for the distance thing???) but what continues to hold me back getting a longer TT is you are more limited on campsite locations with longer trailers.
  • I have a 32.5 Jay Co Eagle that we have pulled twice and I can tell you that it was scary without the WD Anti-sway hitch. So I got a Centerline unit and it stays put real well. I am using a GMC 3/4 ton crew cab pickup.
  • We have a 34ft TT for weekend and extended weekends/holidays. Do not understand your comment "don't want to be limited on the distance we can travel". How does length effect the distance you can travel. We sometimes tow 2500km and sometimes 20km. Length makes no difference. You will not even notice another 5ft.
  • i am a newbie and bought keyston sprinter 316bik, the overall length is 35.6. i have not had any problems at all pulling it, only difficulty is getting into some of the wooded pull thru spots but i would not trade it for anything shorter. recently pulled it in ozark mountains and did not have any issues whatsoever.
