What is a "Small TT"?

I consider small anything 19' and smaller. 20-24 is medium. Anything longer than that is big.

I like it, but... Are we measuring box size or hitch to bumper?

You know that you have a small TT when you need to go outside to have enough room to "change your mind".

And 35' is enormous.

From our experiences a small trailer is one that will fit in almost any campground.

More than once we were told our 25 ft. TT was "no problem" in some of the older campgrounds with limited space for the big rigs.

22 to 25 feet is my definition of small. However everybody has their own definition of "right size."

If you can cook while sitting on your bed or go from one end to the other (lengthwise) in less than 10 steps, then you have a "small" RV.

10 steps?! That's huge!

With all my gear in, I can fit ONE of my tiny feet on the floor, in one place. After I set up camp, I have about a square yard of floor space. It feels luxurious.

And people in the Yellowstone thread asked my why I don't want to set and unset camp every day so I can drive to trailheads ;). It's because I take a lot of stuff OUT!

I'd say Tiny is when you almost have to do some of your essential living stuff outside. That's me, and teardrops. Small, I agree with others here, is 22' or so and down, but especially under 17'. Medium is 24-27', because there are a lot in that size range. And Giant is 35' and up.

Now I am bouncing around in my S&B house. I feel like I spend half my day going from one room to another. Everything I want is always in some other room. In my van, I did not have this problem.

I have a Coleman 15BHS and we pack in three kids with us. Some would say it's small but we don't have any issues with it. We use it to sleep, cook, bathroom and shower. However with kids it's only natural to be outside all the time. Haven't had to hole up in bad weather but we will make day. When I was young we had a 19 footer and packed people on top of people and survived. However answer your question this by anyone's measure is probably considered small.

X2
Is there any standard by which to measure length? Is it the cabin size or the hitch to bumper? Mine is 17ft outside cabin length. Hitch to bumper is 20 ft. It is called a 17 in my case.

When you take the 4 year old grandbaby to a RV show and she says "look, it's just my size" it's small :D

Family of 4. We just upsized from15' to 25'. We became experts at small. I would say under 20' to be small.

The length you are referring to, the area you live in or the exterior length, bumper to ball?

My trailer's livable space is in a box that is about 21 ft long. The trailer itself is a little over 24 ft from bumper to the hitch up front.

Are they just short in length, or are they the cool new ones with non-conventional shapes and configurations? Our new trailer is small, but it is very much a normal travel trailer: bed, dinette, kitchenette, and bath in a big box. Is it considered a "Small TT"?
