Went from a 25 to a 29 and found no difference in mileage or towing on the road. The problem is when making turns,you just need more room. My real problem is parking and leaving room for the slides because trees can be in the way. More length,bigger slides,more room needed at campsite.

I went from a 19 footer to a 28 footer, It does make a differance on towing skills! The weight also went from 2500 lbs to 7000 lbs.

Wheelbase of TV compared to length of TT makes a huge difference in stability on the road. There are guidelines for you to use for towing TT.http://www.articlesbase.com/rvs-articles/hitch-your-trailer-how-trailer-length-affects-towing-stability-431929.html Here is one article to view. There is also an online guide for wheelbases and how long of a tt they can pull.
