We haven't had our 23' trailer even a year yet and we're already thinking
it's a little small :-) It's only the 2 of us, but it sure would be nice to
have a 5th wheel with slide outs. But that would mean getting a bigger
truck (drooling over Jon's diesel Ram). Lesson learned: buy bigger than you
think you need ;-)
