TT assistance
Hello everyone. Searching for a travel trailer has been overwhelming so far. We are looking for a 30 foot or less rear living trailer with opposing slides. Does it exist? How do you find it without go...

Thanks for the info Dutch!
I agree with Dutch. We have basically the same trailer dutch had. What we found is that for campsite issues, once above about 25 ft it doesn't make much difference in site availability. If you can get a 30ft in highly likely you can get a 35ft in. It's those 25ft or less spots or old sites with narrow roads that are an issue and tyhe design was for quite short trailers.
what can be an issue is the opposing slides. Occasionally we found manuvering into a site to get both slides out with clearance took some careful thinking and placement. but again, size wouldn't matter is was a case of being almost 24ft wide with the slides out.
And frankly, a long trailer quickly becomes easier to back than a short trailer.
In all our travels, (30K+ miles) and 45-60 days/year camping for the last 10 years we have never had a situation where we couldn't camp near or at where we were interested. Yes, in a few cases we were limited to which sites, and occasionally not our first choice of campgrounds, but still very nice. And we seldom camp in RV parks, maybe 1/4 of the time in state parks, most often in FS or more primitive campsites. Which are usually have the big spacing between site, but the tightest roads and shortest pads.
So..... while a 30-35 ft has some disadvantages, the advantages for us outweigh them.
Waking up in the morning, having coffee in the couch looking our three big windows to the outdoors....... priceless.
nice living room to stretch out in every evening.... priceless.
