X2 With a family of 6 ( sometimes 7 if grandpa comes along) it is roomy enough for us all on a rainy day. The kids have their own room with a door and the dual slides are on the back side so you do not lose any space under your awning.

To the OP....you definitely want a bunkhouse model. A poster mentioned the Jayco Jayflight 32BHDS. IMHO that would be a perfect trailer for you...or at least the floor plan. You can find that floorplan being built by a LOT of other manufacturers.
Another question....your location is listed as "Shelby". Is that Shelby, Ohio?

Hi, thanks for all of the input!! I really appreciate it! My TV currently pulls my husbands work trailer, as he does home improvement, so I know it does well with weight
Yes, I am in Shelby, Ohio! GO BUCKS!!!
We want a big rig, one that will hold our family of 5 comfortably and want it to last a long time. I only want to buy once (not literally) I am not into upgrading every couple of years. I have some friends that keep doing that.
We will only be camping in campgrounds, fairs, the lake, no further that 1-2 hours away, and this is pretty flat land here.
Ok, my husband is totally against a 5th wheel. But what is the better, fiberglass or aluminum?
Whether aluminum or fiberglaa is better is argumentative. Aluminum is usually less expensive, less expensive to repair and lighter. You don't have delamination issues and don't develope a yellow cast from the sun - but maybe you don't have that problem there. Fiberglass holds up better to hail damage, is nicer and more expensive looking and is easy to clean. So it depends how you balance those factors off.
I was in your position just recently. I have a family of 5 as well, and we wanted a TT that would last us for a while (none of this..."Boy, I wish we had gotten the bigger trailer" thing). We ended up ordering a Jay Flight 32BHDS from the local dealership. A few things stood out...the first being the 2 year warranty (that was one thing I kept on going back on after looking at a couple other TT with the same floor plan that only offered a single year warranty). The other 2 things that caught our immediate attention was the separate entrance into the bathroom and the outdoor kitchen. Personally I do prefer the look of the fiberglass TT but I was not willing to pay another $5000 just for looks. Good luck with your purchase.

I'm happy with the aluminum -- most fiberglass models are still luan-backed, so they will delaminate... and if that happens, your trailer will go from full value to scrap in a heartbeat.
I do concede that if hail is an issue (it is here in TX), find another siding, but go with a better composite than what most RV makers use (Azdel is one of the best.)
