Buying first TT - New or Used?
Hello! We are a family of 5 with three small children (ages 7,6,2) and we are wanting to buy a travel trailer - doing alot of research - and wondering if we should buy new or used. New we are thinking...

Thank you for all your many helpful responses. I am now considering a preowned newer Toyota Tundra with the iForce 5.7L v8 2WD or the Sequoia SUV counterpart. Do you think that would be able to safely pull a 7,000lb 30ft trailer? Again any thoughts, experiences and advice we greatly appreciate.
I'm pulling bigger than that with my Tundra, but do your research and check your payload and make sure you're within specs, especially the Gross rear axle rating. Also, when you say 7,000 lbs, make sure that's not the "dry weight". Go by the Gross weight of the trailer. Having said that, a lot of folks are pulling 7,000 with a Tundra 5.7.
Can't comment on Keystone as I've never owned one but I'm very impressed with our new Forest River Rockwood Windjammer. Excellent quality IMO. Have had it about a year with no problems.
