First Hard sided travel trailer we had was a Heartland 29rls--35 feet long-----2nd was our Jayco 33rlds----35.6 feet long---- Our third trailer is 31 feet long, JAYCO Jayfeather 27rl. Now we like this trailer much better than the other 2. easier to park, Better fuel mileage, not as hard to back up, less weight for the truck to pull. This trailer has everything that we want. But again we are not staying in it for 4.5 months neither. I guess it depends on what you are towing it with, how long will you be out, etc etc. only you can make up your mind on what you are going to do. take care
