Full time with travel trailer
Hi! I am looking to go full time with a travel trailer. We are looking to get about 26 to 30 feet. Based on most of the posts here it seems likes used is the popular way to go. I am looking for any ad...

I clearly remember the dealer telling me I would have no problem towing my new 23 ft. hybrid with a v6 GMC Envoy. By the time I had traveled the 50 miles home with the new rig, I was ready to drive them both off a cliff.
Will you be able to tow a 26-30ft trailer with an SUV? Maybe. But I promise you it will NOT be as enjoyable experience as it should be. Spending all my travel time in a wrestling match with the steering wheel is not my idea of a good time!
As for your choice of trailer, I am not a big fan of used RV's. I worked in the Service Dept of RV Dealerships long enough and have seen enough traded in used coaches to know that buying used is a big risk. That said, there are good used trailers out there. Just be very careful. Especially if you buy from a private owner, have a certified RV Tech give it a once over so that the surprises are limited.
Good luck and happy trails!
