I think at that length you're better off in a fifth wheel. They tow better and give you a shorter overall package because they overlap the truck by a good 4'. You could go to a 39' fifth wheel and be the same total length, or with a 35' fifth wheel it would be equivalent to a 31' TT. Just something to consider.
Google a Jayco 325BHQS as an example of a midsize fifth wheel with a layout that might appeal to you. Bear in mind that this setup would be a bit shorter hitched to the same truck as the trailer you mentioned. Or a lower priced fiver with a similar layout is a Hideout 308BHDS.
Fifth wheels do cost more but you could mitigate that with a used unit.
Edit - I agree with the comment above about mileage and a very different feel with hard sided camper versus a popup. To me they are hands down better and more versatile. I'm not sure where the 250 mile comment is coming from - I've covered 900 in a day with my fifth wheel.
