How Long Should Our Travel Trailer Be?
We are looking at purchasing a travel trailer and I'm trying to figure out how long we should be looking at... There are only two of us - so we don't need a ton of beds. We are also fairly minimali...

I would say find the largest RV Dealer and/or RV Show in your area (you already missed the Hershey show for this year) and go looking at different floor plans. Actually walking into the trailer tells you much more than looking at a diagram. When looking at length of a travel trailer you need to think about maneuverability. I have a 38 ft 5th wheel and a lot of backing experience. And it can be tight in some of the local campgrounds. Remember with the 5th wheel some of that length is over the truck. With the travel trailer it is all behind the truck. Personally if I was looking at my first travel trailer with limited towing experience, I would not go over 30 feet and would prefer something around 25 feet.
That said, buy enough truck that if you do later decide you need a larger trailer and now have experience pulling and backing to get one, you don't need a new truck.
