we got a keystone raptor 3018tt, it's 33 ft long toyhauler...... no garage or slides.. pulls better loaded than empty..... not quite a v nose but a sloped front...way better pulling than our old 28 ft tt....... the keystones are nice all aluminum frame and solid fiber ext..... usually a nice unit no matter the modle....

So is yours 33 feet bumper to ball? I'm leary on pulling a 30 -33 foot trailer around. How hard is it to find caming spots?

It sucks...you are very limited to the number of spots per campground. A gent I work with sold his Titanium 5th Wheel cause they couldn't go anywhere except the "Glamping Campgrounds". The older, more rustic much sought after areas were never set up for 28 plus units.

I always liked the idea of a v nose holiday trailer..... Could turn sharper(as i found out with our regular trailer and a deck on the truck with 2 quads - punched a hole in the trailer with the deck on a sharp turn), less wind resistance, a little cheaper, etc....

Also, forest river made my 28ft sled trailer.... Construction is good......just sayin'

We looked at the Windjammers a couple years back. Loved the extra space and the layout. Our preferance was for the larger living area at the front. Even the idea of reduced wind resistance and better mileage was appealing. We went a different route for now but our next one will be a V nose for sure.

Hey Ric, nice to see I'm not alone here. I load the quads alittle different now as seen in the pics :d Increased turning radius would defineately be a plus with the V nose getting into tight spots. With a larger unit wind is going to be a factor no matter what. Driving habbits are more of a factor than anything. You can only stream line a brick so much. My unit according to BC Ferries is 55' long. Some places can be tight to get into, just involves a little finess

it's about 40 bumper to ball......... and it's really no different than a 28ft er..... but yeah sometimes the space at a campground can be a bit of a squeeze.mostly no problem though.
