The big difference between a TT and a Class A is about $100,000. With that in mind it's worth it for me to get out and level and chock.
OTOH, TTs now come with electric levelers as well. Depends on your priorities.
On the bold, to a point yes, to a point no - it all depends on the level of equipment. A nice TT these days is $30-40k. High end 5th wheels are over $100k. A nice PROPER truck to pull it is $50-80k. A PROPER hitch arraignment is $1-3k.
If buying new today you're looking at $80-175k to pull a trailer. That kind of $$$ buys a pretty decent Class A.
It all depends on what is important to YOU. There is no wrong answer as we all have different wants and needs.
You're right. That said, I drive a 2005 Dodge Durango with 350,000 kms and the travel trailer cost me $8000 new on a bankruptcy return to the factory.
Maybe I'm cheap or just a good consumer.
