No problems with my 36 footer.
We are able to access lots of state parks and love the coach. You get used to it, quickly

I think you can get use to any length.

We love our 36' and think it's a perfect balance of storage room, maneuverability and ability to get into many parks.

A 36 ft gets you more room in the LR/Kitchen area and in the basement.  Both are nice to have in a non-slide coach.  A 1998 would be a good choice.  Floorplans are hard to change, colors and decorating details con be changed.

VMSpc can show you important information.

My only issue at the moment is the 36' length. I would prefer 34' for maybe a little better manoeuvrability, but I actually don't know if there is much difference.

I am of a different opinion regarding 34 vs. 36. I find the 34 much more maneurverable. That two feet difference in wheel base makes a big difference to me. I would say one negative on the 34 is down below storage. The 34 has a narrow little joey bed vs the full size on the 36. I'd take either but I'm partial to the 34.

Thanks to everyone that has responded. I decided that a 34' is what I really want. I am not going to be full timing. If I was the 36'or even a 40' be my choice. To be honest a 32' would be enough room for traveling.
The problem with 32' is the handling and towing capacity. 
So I decided to pass on this 36' that is for sale. It was a tough choice because I believe this was a good deal for this unit especially since it was within 2 hours from me.
The good or maybe bad is I am really sold on the quality of FT. I am keeping Country Coach on the list also, but I put the FT first.
Thanks again to everyone who has replied. This board is another reason I am sold on FT.

fletch,

In that case you should consider Eric's 34' coach 2002 34' U270 For Sale (Revised Listing)

I know it is a long way from you but several of us went across country for a coach.

Yea, that's the thing about the 34s. There aren't that many around.

The Foretravel FTX on the Oshkosh chassis is a good rig.  I don't know how short they made them, but the quality is still there.
