We thought of the 26 footer but last week we were at the dealer and saw a 24 that had a soffa bed instead of the permanent bed, which give you a lot more walking room in the trailer. But my main question is how do you like the Elkmont and is it really worth upgrading to. We pull our TM with a 2008 Honda Ridgeline and have had no wind problems or sway, but we are both in our late 60's and putting up and taking down of the TM is getting tougher. We had taken a crosscountry trip last year with the TM and made 29 campgrounds some for only one night, by the end of the trip we were getting better at the set up and take down, but still it took a toll. Do you get any sway when towing and is set up quicker?
When we were thinking about replacing our pop-up for some of your reasons, we are in our middle 60's, we looked at several small TT including the r-POD all gave up the room of the pop-up except the TM additionally we didn't want to deal with the high profile so went with the 2720SL which even DW at under 5' can set up by herself in a pinch.
