Do you wish your RV were a little bit longer, say … another five feet? Maybe a bigger bedroom or bathroom would be possible. That might make bumping into your partner all the time a little rarer. That can get old, after all.
Or do you wish just the opposite … that your RV were a little shorter, maybe five feet shorter. That would make fitting in some of those compact National Forest campsites a little easier? Really, do you need all your present space?
Or is your RV just perfect for you as it is?
Inquiring minds would like to know. Thanks for voting!
Truth be told, at 1.5 feet overhang (9.5′ model) our truck camper is just right. I only wish it was 500 lbs. lighter! The question of weight would be an excellent poll question.
Take 500 lbs. of the things you just “couldn’t live without” out, problem solved. That is our biggest problem as RVers, we have too many things that “we have to have” for our comfort or our necessity. Look around, could we do without that, or this? Everything weighs something, nothing is made of balsa wood. Lol
My wife suggested something similar. We don’t carry more than 5 gallons in the water tank until we arrive at camp; we replaced the flush toilet with a dry ‘compost’ toilet, and we limit the waste water in the black/gray tank, and went through and got rid of all excess. Finally, she suggested we could eliminate another 230 lbs. if she drove and I stayed home!
Actually if the shower was about 2’ larger our trailer at 23’ would be perfect. We realize we spend only a small amount of time in the shower as compared to the rest of the camper, but it would be much easier to clean our bodies if the shower curtain wasn’t clinging to us while showering. Lol
Interior is just right. However, 35′ long behind my truck makes it challenging going into tight spaces.
100% agree!
We downsized 2 yrs ago from a 43′ pusher to a 34′ gas motorhome. It still has all the comforts of home we like and is a lot less costly to operate and maintain. We are very happy with a 34 footer but will never go to anything smaller.
1 more foot! My RV model is actually made in a 1 ft longer size. Added to the bed length and a few other spaces.
5 feet longer. Right now we have no dinnete in our remodeled 20 ft keystone sandpiper. We couldn’t deal with the convertible dinnete so we built a solid bed. 5 more feet would be nice and we could still fit into our favorite oceanfront site.
I can hardly park the damned thing now, lol, let alone if it was 5 feet longer.
Actually, I wish it were similar to Dr. Who’s Tardis — 35′ on the outside and 43′ on the inside. So, I picked the the answer saying “shorter.” We ordered a 36′ (35’10”) in February to replace our 43′ (42’11”) RV. Production is to begin this month. Once it is finished, then we will trade ours and pay the net difference. Hopefully it is before October.
We went from 38 to 42 to 45. Looks like we love space. Haha.
Someday we will either downsize or sell and not buy another one. We do not live on board, only use for vacations.
Actually; Our RV is 5th. Wheel 35’6″ & parked where I can sit in Theatre Seats & watch a Ball Game. The “Princess” is on the Couch giving the Play by Play whether I need or not!!
So the Size is good!!
I like the length of our motorhome but hate the size of the bathroom.
Grandkids have outgrown us. No need for bunk room in the rear. Take it off! LOL
If my 17-foot Casita were 5 feet shorter, I’d have a serous problem.
I’m happy with the size of my 33′ fifth wheel, but if forced to choose longer or shorter I would go longer. Longer models of my fiver were produced and had a few features I would like (an area where I could put a desk) but in most cases they just added more seating which isn’t of much use to me and the dogs.
5 feet longer would be nice while we’re camping but towing and backing it into our driveway would be not so great. I guess we will keep the 20 feet we have.
5′ shorter is my answer, spouse says longer w more closet space……
We lucked out. Our coach was only built in two versions and ours is the shorter. If it were longer, it would not be able to winter in our barn. Yes, I would like to have more storage, but if we did, we would probably just carry more stuff that we don’t really need. But then again, we aren’t full timers.
I’d like five more feet of space inside, and five feet less outside – basically an RV-Tardis! 😀
length is fine but I wish there was a bit less front area and a bit more bedroom space.
When driving, 5 ft shorter. Inside longer
Started with a 34′ gasser. Decent sized but under powered and noisy. Upgrade to 40′ DP which wife would not drive and more difficult to park and maneuver. Down sized to a small 27′ class C and way too small but very nice unit. Ordered (delivery in May 2022) a 35′ DP with 450 HP and hoping it is the forever RV. Only time will tell. It has taken 5 years to get to this point.
I like the size of our Coachman 34 foot MH had the best layout for the floor plan, we had a 31 TT and with the truck felt too long.
Our inTech Sol Horizon is only 19ft, but like the TARDIS seems much bigger on the inside… Large booth dinette that can seat 6 adults (ok, that’s a cozy fit…), a residential queen bed, large wet bath, and nice kitchen; I’m 6-4, 275# and can stand up straight in our TT and have plenty of room everywhere – perfect for me, my wife, and 2 dachshunds!
At 35ft, two feet would be perfect, with another bedroom slide for the cabinets. Five foot would give us a lot of room, but isn’t very practical.
Actually they don’t make them any longer and I wouldn’t want it if they did. I don’t see where 5 ft shorter would make it any better because we’d still be too long to fit in most National Parks, plus we would be right where many won’t offer a tag axle. But ferry and toll roads cost would be less. I have Friends who have RVs 5 ft shorter but they don’t get any better MPG than us.
I checked 5ft longer, but really only want about 2ft, with a shower that I can turn around in. What I really would like is a dinette slide. I have a 2017 22R Minnie Winnie.
My old 22′ MH works for me.
38′ 5th wheel and use it all except the dust magnet spaces above the kitchen cabinets.
20 yrs with a 31′ Minnie Winnie, did its job perfectly, have a 41′ fifth wheel now, Minnie was a blast, getting older now and will be spending more time in the rv in the winter month down south, so it all depends on what you need it for, to me bigger is better but only if you’re comfortable maneuvering it around.
