Thanks for the feedback and Merry Christmas. My reason for trying to stay to 31 feet is for maneuverability. I'm hoping to have a "nimble" enough rig to avoid having to bring a toad.
Two thoughts...
First, we have an ACE 30.1, which we love, but if you're looking for other brands in that size class I'd second the suggestion for a Forest River FR3. We had a Forest River trailer once upon a time and we're in the process of looking at a Forest River pop-up for son #1, and every time we come across that brand we've been impressed with the design, quality, and value.
Second, though, while there were lots of reasons we wanted a small Class A, I'd be hesitant to say that ours is "nimble." Even at a 31' length, it's hard to imagine driving it to stores, tourist destinations, out-of-the-way places, and all of the other locations where we now take our toad. Think of this way: our ACE is about the same size and weight as a Triceratops--not exactly an agile steed for a run down to grocery store.
And Merry Christmas to you too!

x2, our Ace is not what I would consider nimble and a grocery getter. It's a Class A motorhome and there isn't a ton of difference between 30 and 35' in terms of driving and maneuverability. Not to mention, do you really want to break camp every time you want to go somewhere and then set up again when you return?
