28' Foot is a great size. Room enough for car + all your stuff and even a golf cart. As others have said so long as you have the steed to pull it its a great way to go.

I have a 20' plus V-nose and I wish I would have bought at least a 24' and ideally a 28'.
I was worried about pulling such a long trailer but once you have 20'+ behind you, whats another 8' really?
The only possible consideration would be if you have restricted storage space for the extra length. Other than that, with a 350 dually, total no-brainer. More room, more stuff, more fun, just plain more.

Well boys, turns out the 28' has a wood floor. Early 2000s Featherlite when the extruded aluminum floor was an option, not standard as it is today. So, I'm gonna pass. But now on the lookout for a 24 or 28

extruded alum floor is still an option (not free) on featherlight, at least here in CA.

^ Huh, my featherlite guy here in canuckistan said the alum floor is el standard now. Maybe featherlite still offers to wood floor to impoverished californians? Maybe it's a canadian thing with our 11 month winters.
