We had a Terry 26' with no slide and rear bedroom, loved the front kitchen but it was bit more than our Yukon XL could handle comfortably. It had the power and braking, just too soft of suspension. My wife decided to trade her Yukon XL Denali in on GMC Sierra 2500HD so I had a better towing experience. It was much better, we thought it was pretty good, but the truck is so much better. Then with the truck, we decided we could get a bigger trailer. We really liked the rear bedroom, front kitchen, but found an Arctic Fox 27T that we really liked. It was an older unit, we wanted something newer so kept shopping, always coming back to the 27T. Fast forward to 2014 when we found a used 2013 that fit our budget. Rear living (two chairs in back with large picture window, couch and table on slideout. We really like it.
One thing we wish we could bring the slide in without moving the chairs (we have to move them out of the way of the slide into doorway). It is not bad, but the Arctic Fox 33U was a bit longer in the back so the chairs stay put with the slide in. It also has a slideout in bedroom for the wardrobe. Our 27T has limited storage and we are learning that we don't need everything every trip..
My advice, when you find one you like, see if you can use the bathroom with the slide in, see if you have to move things around to put slide in.
We've had 9 people in ours (weather made us go in), playing games, talking, was crowded but not too bad.
I think we will get the lexan panels for the screen door (so AC can run and we can see out better on curb side when we are in trailer).
