30' and longer is not uncommon here. But not with 3 axles. Those look a lot heavier than what we see here.

Another concern is all the distance between the hitch and the front axle. Monster tongue weight or three light duty axles?

Fairly might be an understatement.
At least in our local area it looks like 5er prices are driving buyers to behemoth travel trailers. Most being pulled by 1500 short bed lifted trucks.

Would be a real ask to hav these pulled by a Ford 150

Those look bigger than 30 feet. The first one appears to have an aluminum frame, which is interesting.

30' are not uncommon here in the US. Both of those look considerably larger than 30'

You would be amazed how many are like that as regards interiors. Very very competitive market here. Grit Dog you could learn a lot how others do it outside the US and Canada as you do not have much of an idea
