We just purchased our first trailer, it's a Jayco Eagle 284BHBE, 34' exterior length.
We took a 2 month vacation a couple of years ago and rented a much smaller trailer (R-Vision Crossover). While it was very cozy for a family of 5 (two of the kids are now adults), we managed it. But the quarters were way too close for ever wanting to actually spend time in the trailer for anything other than cooking or sleeping.
We wanted the trailer we purchased to be comfortable for our larger family (and hopefully grandkids someday), and also be a place we will enjoy spending time in when the weather is not so great. In the rental we had, if one person was standing, pretty much everyone else was confined to the seat they were in, and we couldn't all even fit in the dinette. We enjoyed the experience, just wanted something roomier for the longer term.
