How Long Should Our Travel Trailer Be?

OTOH.....we started with a HTT, a ROO 23SS. Box was 20'+ a smidge, bumper to ball about 24'. Loved it for 7 years and with just the two of us most of the time, we were plenty good for space. With a HTT, the beds fold out of the ends, somewhat like a PUP, so you do end up with more living space not taken up by beds. In May of '13 we moved to a Rockwood Ultra Lite 2604. It actually is 26'4" box and right at 30' bumper to ball. It feels huge to us....still after 2 seasons, we have more than enough room. Personal opinion is that more than size, you need to consider what you actually NEED in this trailer. I was also thinking a toy hauler. You can find some smaller size - mid 20'? - and set up whatever you need in the garage area + still having a bed and dinette. May or may not have a sofa, likely not in the smaller size. I've also seen folks that had no toys at all, but set up the garage area to be more of an indoor, screened porch area. You can get screens that have an opening to fit the rear and even if it's pouring down rain, you can feel like you're sitting outside, but stay dry. Something to consider. A desk and chair + whatever should fit easily in that space. You don't necessarily need to go 30' box to have the space you need.
