Single guy in a 35 foot Class A. It’s feeling a little big after 6 years of fulltime travel. I plan to park it soon and live in it and buy a class B van for short trips out and back
My wife and our doggie travel in a 35′ 2″ TIffin RED 33AA. This is the best size for us. We have had every size from 20 ft. up to 40 ft. Finally got it right. Having a diesel pusher helps too….
I have a 40 foot motor home
Single RVer full timing in a 22 foot class C. I can fit into any national campground, Boondockers Welcome driveway, museum parking lot, or small boondocking site. I love the length of my RV
Just perfect for 1!
Happy travels 🌞
I own a 41 ft. 5th wheel
Full timing in a 45 foot class A with motorcycle on hoist, towing a Jeep with 2 bicycles. Perfect for us!!!
41ft Mobile Suites….we keep getting longer and longer and longer….just to have everything along for the trips. Started out with a 24ft tt with 4 kids along. Now just the two of us plus w/d and a generator. When do you stop buying?
We have a 38′ fifth wheel. Still trying to get the amount of “stuff” to a manageable level. Seems to be a daily struggle.
Our heartland wilderness is a 36 foot long bumper pull tt. We full time in it. Pull it with an 04 Ram quad cab long bed 2500 Cummins diesel. We have stayed in RV parks 6 to 8 months at a time as workampers or park managers.
I am single, full-time, and have a cat & dog. I am in a 27′ Class C.
45 foot Class A bus along with a Jeep, Can Am Spyder and a motorcycle. Full time and loving it
I am single and have a travel trailer. If you measure from the hitch to the spare tire it is about 34 feet. But the “living” portion is 30 feet. It has been great for trips up to several months, but not sure about full timing in it. Even pulling it with a F250, with a camper shell, I am always wishing for a little more trailer length and a little more storage. It doesn’t help I am a geek and love playing with electronics.
We full time in a 26-ft Class C towing a Smart car. Just finished an 8000 mile trip AZ – DC – ME – CO. Hugged the coast on the way north and saw sights, especially villages, that no Class A will ever see. I am happy I have a Class C when I wash and wax it, and when I buy tires.
We full-time in a 40ft motor home and tow a 2016 Equinox.

Sorry, Selene. We’ve received more than 700 votes on the poll, so it appears to be working for most of our readers. Here’s a possible explanation from Jessica, one of our IT folks: “Sometimes script blockers and ad blockers interfere with our polls since they are from a 3rd party site. If you have one of these try and turn it off and see if that fixes the issue.” I hope that works for you. BTW – That’s a very pretty name. Have a good night. 🙂 –Diane
We have a 33’6″ fifth wheel and it’s just right. Just two of us with 3 cats. We half time in it.
My r-pod is 20 feet. I love it, though without all outdoors to go to, it might get to be too small.
I haven’t been able to see the poll for several days. But I have a 30 ft 5th wheel
37’ 5th wheel. Has been comfortable for the 9 years we have lived in it full time.
42′ 5th wheel, just purchased last year after having 34′ 5th wheel. Love the room inside, not always excited about getting into my space!
31′ 11″ I’ve wondered if that was for some federal regulation that the manufacturer had to comply with to keep it under 32′.
Our current RV is a 2016 DP that is 42′ 11″ in length, so we tend to tell those who ask that it is 43′ long. We are in data-gathering mode for our next one. Ideally it will be 35 to 37 feet in length in order to get into and get level in more campsites.
21 foot coachman clipper. Moved up to a 21 bunk model from a 20 because we needed more room to house a family that decided after seeing me bring home a sleeps 3 RV because everyone was done camping. Story goes that after a crazy camping trip out east and troubles with the pop up I traded it for a jayco slx 20 and I loved it. I miss it but the husband said he was done camping so I traded it. Brought it home and he was like now this is more like it. When do we go camping? 2 years later I traded it for the coachman because it had bunks bells and whistles. I miss it but like this one better because it has features in it the other did not have. Plus my mother and I really worked together to make it more doable and planned a whirlwind camping trip to Colorado, Utah and Arizona. She loved her bunk bed. Sadly she died a year ago April 8 months after the trip. Unless something happens, I plan to keep it for a long time to come. She loved this bigger RV.
36′ Class A
25 foot class C. 2 slide-outs.
2017 43-foot American Coach Revolution. Love it, but it is hard to find RV parks with adequately sized spaces, AND FHU. We have to forget about “campgrounds”. We full-time, DH still works remotely, so we need the FHU. We’re prepared to boondock, but never more than 2 nights in a row. That said, we plan a trip to Quartzsite in January … FOR January, that is … and it’s impossible now to find a park anywhere. We’ll keep trying, but otherwise … we’ll see how we do…..🙏
We had a 1993 22′ Fleetwood Flair Class A for 25 years and it was large enough for extended trips and small enough to just drive around. We ultimately traded it in for a 26′ Itasca Sunstar. Just 4′ longer but lots more room with the slideout. 26′ seems to be about the shortest Class A we could find. Someone, might have been Forest River, makes a 25′, but they take the whole back end with King size bed. We were fine with our double in the Flair.
Ours is a 2006 39 ft Fleetwood excursion 360 cummins class a deisel that was purchased in 2012 long slide out on drivers side washer and dryer makes it really nice
38’ Keystone Montana Big Sky, our second Big Sky. A little too big, but plenty of storage!
45′ MADP… a huge beast in the beginning but shrank throughout the years. Perfect size now but still a big boy.
We pull a 28′ travel trailer with a 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500 with crew cab and short box.
We have 26′ 5th wheel with one slide out. We’re old tent campers so this seems like a house to us. Just right for 2 people.
I have a 30′ fifth wheel. It’s the right fit for me full-timing and no problem finding sites to fit in, in state or national parks. ( By size, not availability 😮 ) Good to maneuver in traffic, mountains, and low winds. Easy to pull with my steady 2008 diesel 250 Ford. Enough living and storage space. Works for me. 👍
37’ just right.
35 foot fiver… I think it’s just about right… However, I d like a 37 to 42 footer … I plan on living this way till I can’t do it any longer.
We had a budget in mind so we shopped for the largest travel trailer in that budget. Ended up with 32ft coachman Catalina. Plenty of room for the misses and me. The smaller campers were really cute but they cost as much as the big ones. We went for more bang for the buck and we fully enjoy the larger camper
Currently a 38 ft but shopping for a little bigger fifth toyhauler. We’re full timers and love it. Just apprehensive about going over 40 ft.
I have a 44 foot toy hauler for sale.
Our Class A RV is 36′ and is just right with 4 slides. We can get in most state parks.
Ours is 30 ft. We wanted to stay 30 or under to be able to get to all the places we wanted to. For the most part we can. Fits us perfectly. Has just enough storage so things don’t slide around. Would have liked a few feet less but couldn’t find floorplan and storage we liked.
We currently own a 35’ fifth wheel and find it difficult to park in some older parks especially state parks. We are considering trading for an Arctic Fox that’s just under 30’.
Perfect size. Not too long. Not too short. 34 feet
We have a 43’ Thor Tuscany Diesel pusher and really enjoy our full timing adventures. There are two of us plus a German Shepherd and most of the time, we think the RV is a good length. Occasionally we have learned we are too big for some locations but then we would typically need to be less than 25’. That would be very small for us as we like having a washer& dryer and a bath and a half as well as more cabinet and basement storage than we had with our prior 33’ Itaska Suncruiser.
43′ 11″ 5th wheel
Just the right size
After having two 41ft motor homes which we travelled a total of 147,000 miles we downsized 3 years ago to a 22ft trailer and Ram truck and are happy😎😎
RV is 38ft plus trailer carrying our vehicle. We total 66ft and it makes it difficult to find campsites. Since our setup fits the needs of my family which includes wheelchair accessibility, this setup is perfect for us at this time.
We have a ’97 Rexhall DP. 35ft One slide-out. Wife thinks it’s too big because she’s afraid to drive it, however it’s easier to drive than our previous 29′ Coronado if you ask me. Been RVing since 2001 and loving it. Used to travel on multi month trips with the kids and friends. 6-8 people so it worked really well for us. Now we usually have about 4 still all good. As with everyone else campgrounds getting harder to find with openings.
We have a 41′ 5th wheel we pull with a 2500 HD. It hard to find campgrounds with space for it. When we do it’s still tough getting in and out sometimes. We have thought about down sizing but we love the extra space.
2017 Coachman Clipper 17BH. Could be a foot longer so the bed can be oriented North/South for easier access. Plus a couple of other improvements. Did a tour of the Clipper assembly line in 2019 and yes, piss poor quality then. Very rushed work. Instead of using a hole saw they just used a hammer. I wouldn’t even think about getting a new RV now with the work force and the dealership technician situation as it is.
That is what we have as well. 21 foot and wish it had a slide out but it has served us well. My only complaint is the water tank. Wish it was an electric/propane model like the Jayco has. Which is an atwood not a suburban. We plan to replace that but did remodel the bathroom and love what we did with it. Next is to do some slide out drawers in the pantry. But other then that? Great little camper. Served us well to Colorado Utah Arizona and home.
We have a 21 ft Dutchman ultralight.
Purchased in 2019 before the USA went to hell. Anyway nice RV , I had to do some repairs to stay on top of things. Works ok for my wife and I.
Dave
Usa did not go to hell. At least not alone, dofuss! The virus changed the entire world..
Our Class C is 32 ft long
I have a 24 ft. Nash
1999 Jayco Designer 32 ft class C..love it , 7 miles a gal no matter what.all org very well built..
We own a 34ft 5th wheel 2007 montana and planning to get ourselves a 45ft just to feel more comfortable!
40’ Class A. Size is perfect. I can’t imagine traveling in a class B or C. I like the room and the ability to tow my Ram pickup.
Just right
we have a 30ft class c and it’s perfect for what we need. Older but decent quality winnie with reasonably low mileage.
32ft 2020 Nexus Wraith. 300 hp Cummins diesel. 8.6 mph pulling a loaded 2 horse trailer, and 10.5 when I’m not towing.
This is my 2nd 30 ft TT. I live in mine so the 30ft is nice and I do travel every once in a while with it. If i were to travel a bunch I’d want a smaller one though, just more maneuverable.
Older 35′ Winnebago Class A. Well built. In a few years hoping to get a little small rig, in the 30′ range.
Ours is 41′. As full timers, It’s just right for us.
2000 Fleetwood Bounder 39z DP
1 slide
Perfect for the wife and I and our 2 Chi’s
10.8 mpg
Love it
29 ft Class A, no slides Just the right size for the wife and I.
41′ of luxury. Love it.
30′ Skoolie
Self-Converted 2005 Freightliner FS65 School Bus
The perfect size for our family of 4 and we have all we need, and want. By building it ourselves, we know where and how everything was installed in case we need to repair or redesign. And for a fraction of any RV cost. Best decision ever.
315BHT sandpiper by forest river 5th wheel… seems good size… Poor quality on structure… aluminum studs have pretty much all came apart at welds…and filon has unattached all over…just a few years old but looks decades old…floors sag… constantly has new bends and wrinkles in it Everytime I take it on the road… Which is about every 3 months average… It was too overpriced for the substandard quality of what you get for your buck… Constant repairs going on …weekly projects that sprout new weekly projects…not as efficient or durable as was told at time of purchase… And the manufacture who should have had recalls for repairs will not be held responsible for their factory defective welds or the damages those defects have caused… Never again will I ever buy this camper brand or line.
336tsik chaparral 36ft
Our 5th wheel is 36′. It is perfect length.
We have had larger and smaller. We are very happy with the floor plan
We have a 20 foot Rpod 179. It tows well and we can get it into almost any campsite. It’s a bit small for extended trips and we don’t like the wet bath. We will be upgrading soon to a 25 foot trailer, which will not only be longer, but wider.
My 5th wheel is 42’ long. Makes it difficult at times to find a spot, but we haul our Harley in the garage.
45ft Newmar Ventana Is our “apartment on wheels!” Plus we tow a RAM 3500, sometimes with a motorcycle or two 🙂 !! And we LOVE it!
Great for boon docking but not so great in some National Parks. But we manage and are flexible when traveling around the country!
In past days We’ve experienced tents, pop-ups, and trailers, plus Vans & smaller Motorcoach’s.
And yes! That 3500 RAM is handy to have when you have a tendency for off-roading and wander too far off the road well travelled!
Our Grand Design Imagine XLS 17MKE is 22 feet long and perfect for us. Has a slide and Murphy bed and the longest kitchen counter in it’s class.
30 ft is perfect for us. Able to access the campsites we want, and able to navigate the loops on the water in a favorite DEC Adirondack park. 30 ft provides wonderful accommodations for just the two of us, or when our children join us.
35 ft
Just the right size for the 2 of us. But sometimes hard to park unless it’s a pull through.
40 ft
43’ – just right because it has a second toilet accessible with slides in AND a fireplace PLUS my wife loves her huge closet and W & D. Requires a toad to get around but very comfortable when home. AND my wife loves driving it on comfortable roads – and I love driving in the mountains. 2020 Newmar Ventana. About 1/2 time.
40 ft and just right.
We have a 43 foot 5th wheel. Rear bedroom front living room. 5 slide outs. We love it. had this one almost 3 years. Been full time rv living for 7 years.
Hi Ronald, what brand do you have?
46′ with 4 slides. We live in it full-time. It’s a DRV Mobile Suites and though it is supposed to be a top line RV, we feel the quality of our RV is definitely not there! How it got through Quality Control is beyond us!! Luckily my husband worked at Country Coach an knows how to do many of the repairs!
25′ travel trailer that I pull with a Ford F-150.
1 slide-out.
A little small, not because of size of living area. But because there’s not enough room to add a couple things in. I.e., washer/dryer, larger refrigerator or more of a pantry.
However, I would still enjoy a second slide out for when I’m parked for a while.
We live full time (5 years now) in our 36′ diesel motorhome and find that maybe a Class C or travel trailer is in our future. We haven’t been locked out of anywhere yet due to our size, but also realize that bigger isn’t always better.
35’ 5th wheel; cocktails for six, dinner for 4, sleeps 2! Usually no problems finding a site.
23′ pull behind 2019 model fully equipped I pull it with my 2012 z71 4 door . I love it
We have a 1957 Spartan Imperial Mansion, 45 footer. We lived in it for 2 years while we searched for a house. I had to rent a bigger truck to pull it from Peru Indiana, so I have mixed feelings about the size. Great to live in, nightmare to move!
Hi Robert
Where can me and my husband purchase a 1957 spartan imperial mansion at,would love to own one God Willing
Rhonda
That’s a sweet ride dude
21 foot bunk model from coachman. It may be small but it does the job well. I tow with a jeep grand cherokee. Both do great on the highway. Had one person come up to me and say that tows that? Wow.
