If this is your first trailer-----chose carefully. I'll bet that after a year or so, another unit will peak your interest.
Maybe look for a good used unit first--take a friend with you when looking. A friend will find item and issues that you won't.
If you're still working full time, do you want to spend $$$$ to sit along side the house or in a storage yard? Again, maybe check used.
35 feet will hamper a large number of spots to camp, especially if you like to use forest service, BLM, or city parks. I'm NOT knocking a few on here when they say they use pull throughs or have long rigs, but "SIZE DOES MATTER."
My bride and I currently have a 30 foot (hitch to rear tire) tow behind with a slide, big tanks, a sofa, insulated windows, big batteries, and a full queen bed (not a RV queen), and it works just great for us. In fact, we downsized from a larger fifth wheel because we didn't use that large of a space. We tow with a 3/4 ton gasser and go anywhere we want.
The important thing is that you use it! The RV!
