shorter vs longer on a long trip
Does a lighter shorter TT make a great difference in milage and/or any other differences? We currently have a 30' TT that the build weight is 5500 lb. Planning on a trip from here FL to around NY ...

I get the same mpg as everyone else, and my trailer is much smaller and much lighter. So mpg is not the reason to go short. But my trailer fits on my short driveway -- no storage fees. And I can take it just about anywhere my truck can go. Decent headroom -- 6'3". The bed is a normal queen size.
But if you are going to RV parks and large campgrounds (instead of boondocking or tight campgrounds, which is where we usually go), why not be as comfortable as you can with a larger unit? Also, a very small trailer is not great when you are stuck inside on a rainy day, so we usually hike in the rain.
