Getting ready to buy RV

As others have said, you would really be pushing it with a 32-33 ft trailer. People have the right to do what they want with their money, but I don't understand why people need huge trailers for just two people. My wife and I have a 19' Coachmen (21'10" total length from hitch to rear bumper), and it is plenty for us. If you're going to be living in it full time for weeks or months I understand wanting a bit more space, but you should seriously think about how much space you really need.

Good point. I know I would like a larger master bed, but that would make my trailer 30' instead of 28'. However, if there is a family of 4 or 5, like mine, sometimes even a 28' trailer can be a little tight, especially in foul weather where everyone is stuck inside. Mine doesn't have a slide, so was looking at replacing it with a similar model with slide, but every one that has a similar layout with slide is 32' at the least. I nearly pulled the trigger and put mine up for sale to get an Arctic Wolf, but decided to get a few more years out of my current one since I am not sure if the soon to be teens will continue to enjoy this or will do their own thing. If it becomes the latter, then the next trailer will be a 5th wheel I can retire with.

Jayco has trailers with slides starting at 28 feet exterior length. I have been looking at them for a while just cant pull the trigger now.

To the OP - 30 feet is bout the max I'd go with an F150, but that's just me. No way I'd tow a 32-33 footer, especially if that is the box size. If it is, that would make the overall length 35 feet or so. Way too big for an F150 to be safe IMO. I'm sure it could be done, but I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it.
