A couple of summers ago, we did a cross-country road trip with a travel trailer as newbies with three kids (17, 12, 4). Portland, OR to NYC and back (5 weeks) .. It took a year to plan, research trailers, tow vehicles, techniques, methods, etc. I had experience with utility trailers, but not travel trailers. We only had one shakedown run (couple of nights at the coast) before we took off on our road trip. Because of all the research, we didn't have a single issue.
It was a trip that we will all remember for the rest of our lives! I was terrified of all the things that could go wrong, but I was glad we did.
