All I can say is size isn't everything!!
We purchased our first TT just about 2 years ago, a 2015 20ft Aspen trail (24ft overall length). No slide outs, fully loaded it weighs in at about 6,600 lbs.
It was a little tight until I removed the dinette and installed
a 4ft long x 1ft wide custom made Credenza with the table hinge mounted to the side, with a fold out leg that allows the table to be raised and lowered effortlessly in seconds.. the table is about 2 x 3ft and the credenza top is 4 x 1ft (adding 4 square feet of table space.
Two reclining office chairs and we now have all the room we need to stretch out, especially eliminating the darn post mounts for the table and space consuming-uncomfortable bench seats.
With the table folded down we have floor space to set up an inflatable mattress for guests, which is much more comfortable than that darn dinette bed..
The trailer tows like a dream, is easy to maneuver, has a 50 gal freshwater tank and 30 gal black water and 30 gal grey water tank. We've spent a couple of rainy nights drowning a few ice cubes while happily watching cable and or DVD's. The shower is just big enough for either of us.. The trailer to us is just plain cozy!!
I guess it all comes down to what your comfortable with. We have lots of easily accessed storage space and seem to be able to bring everything we need with us. We just pull into the site and crank down the stabilizers. Don't have to worry about slides leaking or malfunctioning or self levelers hanging up..
But that's just us.. We could easily spend a month or two traveling comfortably.
To each his own......
