There are 6 of us (2 adults/4 kids) so the dual beds plus dinette seem like enough sleeping quarters, as long as we can find places for our gear. My garage has about 19'3" so I think a 2720 with a swing hitch would make it in.
We usually carry:
Clothes for 6, linens, towels, shoes, jackets, etc.
Pantry of food
Perishables and drinks
Weber Q-120 grill
6 camp chairs
Camp tools, hand tools, and emergency repair parts
Trailer equipment / leveling / chocking / sewer / etc..
8 spin fishing rods & tackle box
2-3 fly fishing poles & vests
14' folding Portabote with seats, transom, ores, lifejackets
55lb trolling motor
4-6 mountain bikes
Aside from the mountain bikes everything fits into our current 25' hybrid bunkhouse just fine.. And when needed we can place four bikes inside the trailer while on the road.
I do like the hybrid but I can't store it at home due to zoning. I'm only allowed 24hrs max for loading/unloading. Naturally, as soon as I bring it home I'm assured that the police are already on the way.. Aren't neighbors great? After seven years it starts to get old! I miss the old popup days when I kept it in the garage out of the sun & weather, didn't have to worry about neighbors or police, could work on it whenever I liked, and didn't have to spend $2K+ per year in outside, uncovered storage..
I'm also bummed to hear that TM is having "issues" just when I'm starting to consider one!
Thanks!

A 25' Hybrid is a lot of space, and you probably won't be able to duplicate that in a 2720 without compromises. Maybe towing with a full sized van could provide an extra bedroom.
I've had RV's that were big enough to haul stuff without having to think about where we were headed or what we were planning to do, and I was able to use the RV for storage of all that stuff so it was always all ready to go. But today's gas prices make 7mpg less fun that it used to be. These days we're narrowing our priorities by planning more carefully so that we can travel lighter.
Besides, it seems like no time at all before you're travelling with fewer than 6 (and some of the kids eventually have their own RV's).
