Downsizing - How much?

[Gulfcoast]

Sold the class A and ready to downsize back to a TT.

I really prefer an RLS (rear living room) rig for just two older folks.

Is a 21' tandem-axle way too small, or would you go with a 26' RLS camper?

I could name a dozen or more reasons to get a smaller rig, but larger is nice only for the extra room to roam around in.

Decisions.....

Thanks

Edit: this is actual body length, not including the hitch.

I have traveled in fifth wheels, travel trailers, 34' Class A motorhome, Sprinter chassis class B, and just finished up three months in a truck camper. What works for me, might not work for you.

IMO you cant get much more spot on than this^^^^^^^ While some may judge it as "fence sitting" only the OP knows what he & the wife needs are.

We like the Puma 26RLSS ... but it’s not 26 ft. More like 31 ft.

Thanks!

I (widow) went from a 31' fifth-wheel to a 26' travel trailer, with a cocker spaniel. I do have a front bedroom, sofa and dinette floorplan, no slide.
Personally, for just me is doable, but for 2, would find it pretty tight.
Outside pass-thru storage in front, but not very high, so not easily accessible. Depends on how much you use it and can cope with bad weather days.

We found a 26' TT too small for two people on rainy days - and not many options for comfortable seating. TT furniture is not in the same league as what you had in your class A.

I down sized temporarily. My new rig does not have enough storage. A trailer needs for clothing and a pantry at least. I like around 23-25 feet including the trailer hitch.
