I have been in a few places where there were serious limits on the length of the trailer. These limits can result from the length of the campsites, or the condition of the roads on the way in. For example, there is a beautiful campground in the Chiricahua Mountains of Arizona where the interior road is pretty good, except that there are a couple deep drainage swales. A too-long rig would drag as you enter and leave the swale (I've watched it - it is ugly). There are a couple campgrounds in Oak Creek Canyon (Sedona, AZ) that were built in the 50's or earlier, and the sites are short.

If you plan always to camp in a commercial campground, then any length is acceptable. But if you want to go out into National Parks, State Parks or BLM lands, bigger is not always better.
