I thought I decided on a TT, Now studying Class C

I agree with jmtandem on going for a TT that's within your budget, get one that isn't too big for the pickup to pull. Then after RVing for a year or two with the TT, you may decide that if a MH fits your style better; then start shopping for one. I'd stay in the under 26ft length though and go for an older used top-line Class C such as Coach House or Chinook. You're probably looking at $30-40K or more for a 10-12 year old low mileage unit.
