Jayco Eagle TT's have an interior height of 84" (7ft). I imagine though that they are a bit more expensive than a standard Jayco.
You can probably rule out any "lite" trailer. They are narrower and lower than a standard trailer to save weight.goducks10 wrote:

A 35' TT has 256sqft because you can't count the tongue length.
All trailers are measured from pin/ball to bumper.
Not sure what's your saying about TT's. My Jayco 27BH is 29'1" from ball to bumper. But that obviously has nothing to do with the interior room.
My point is that all trailers are measured from either pin or coupler. The box size is irrelevant when towing. To get the same sqft as in a 5'er you need to have a TT that is 3+' longer. The tongue on a TT which is considered in the OAL is wasted space.
Yes you can go by box size but you still have to add the tongue length in. As an example our current 5'er is 235 sqft according to Northwood. Its 27'11" long. Our last TT was also 235 sqft according to Heartland, but it was 30'10" long.
