IMO the width of the trailer makes a big difference in "feel" -- oh, and I am with Paula on the age thing. I'm almost 70, and am a solo 'streamer. I have a 28' and find the size perfect for me (and my two basset hounds). I did a lot of back and forth on trailer size when I ordered mine. A lot of this is just personal preference (floor plan especially), and affordability. If you read a lot of posts on AF you find in most instances people wish they'd gone to the longer trailer. Esp going from 25' to 27'. Also, think of what happens when you encounter the inevitable rainy days and crappy weather where a little extra space per person can make a tough situation more tolerable.

Nothing really comparable to an Airstream.

Then again, I am definitely biased...

We started with a 2013 25FB International Serenity (made in July 2012 and purchased in October 2012) and the cross frame queen bed was a major issue for us. In May 2014, we ordered a 2014 Classic 27FB with twin beds to get the bed issue fixed. Then we talked some more about how the dinette (last 15') of the 25FB and 27FB are identical in layout and measurements. We changed our existing order in October to a Classic model 30 for just the difference in list price on the price list (about $3,012).

That was the cheapest upgrade I ever accomplished.

We are looking forward to a local run this weekend as a shakedown trip.
