TT - how long is too long ?

To me, it is more about the locations I am looking to be able to get into. Most RV parks are not the issue, although some will have length limitations and/or limited on spaces that will accommodate the longer trailers. I want to be able to get into areas in the CO high country, no RV park, and tighter switch-back roads are a no-go even with my TT at 30', point to bumper. There are also some passes that I would take my 30' TT over but would not consider a 35'/40'. Again, all depends on your 'wants'.

Remember to keep in mind that a trailer/truck combo of a 40' 5th is shorter than a 40' TT when towing... using the same truck.

When towing or backing in, they all seem too long.

When inside them, they all seem too short.

I regularly see lots of 30'+ bumper pulls behind a myriad of different trucks. Good luck.

Anything over 22 feet to us is GIANT. Just the two of us and a nice small trailer is easy to pull, park, setup, and the best part we paid cash for it.

The confusing part of this puzzle is that laws regarding length & width vary from one state to the next. My friend has a fiver toy hauler that is titled at 40 but in reality is closer to 42. IMHO bigger is seldom better. Many trailers I see are simply bigger. Not really using the extra space for anything. For me I will go small with a good use of space. Happy Trails

Depends on where you want to camp and how you use it. For me 25'-26' is about as big as I want to go for where I want to camp. Even then there have been places the max length was 20'

For the DW and me, it needs to be small enough to drive through small towns to five d quilt shops and gun shops. Ours is 25 ft and fits the two of us.

My recommendation is to rent the size TT you think you want and tow it around for a week or so. You will learn a lot very quickly before you part with your big money.

We are canoe and tent campers but for travel and sight seeing we bought a TT. We have towed over 20,000 miles in the last three years and never had an issue with a 25 ft length though a few of the older campgrounds were tight.

One thing I miss with the TT is the feeling of camping.

We purchased our current 33'TT nearly a decade ago and there were plenty of TTs that were quite a bit longer to choose from. Only you can decide what length is your sweet spot, carefully review your requirements and go for it, your truck appears adequate to pull whatever size you choose. Enjoy your new rig!!!

With a 1 ton and quality WDHitch you shouldn't have a problem towing any length TT..

we towed a 35' TT (7900 loaded) with our 2500 Chevy gas pick up with no issues. have several friends that tow TT's in the 35' range with no complaints -they all have 3/4 ton trucks

Trailers in the 30ish foot range have been around for a long, long time. Our 49 year old Airstream is a 30 foot, for instance.
