wbwood,
Thanks for the detailed post I appreciate it. I see your point of view from your experience,but whenever I speak with people at campgrounds I keep hearing "you will always want to upgrade your trailer." I really don't want to go from pop-up to small TT and then to one that is adequate.
One of the main reasons for this is my height. I am about 6'03'' and we have looked at 30 plus trailers at various RV lots. I can barley stand in most of them due to the ceiling height. This does not seem like an enjoyable experience even if we are just in it for sleeping and bad weather.
The only trailers I feel comfortable in are the ones with the "dome" type ceiling. When both the wife and I walked though the Cougar it felt great for both of us. I didn't feel all closed in and could see myself enjoying actually being inside. Plus it has the double bed over double set-up, which would allow our children to sleep comfortably when they get older.
Maybe I am going "too big" for our firt TT, I don't know. I just don't want buyers regret and be saying "man I wish we would have went with the Cougar." I understand the towing will not be a picnic. I believe we have settled on purchasing a 2015 F150 ecoboost as the payload will be around 2,000 and plenty of power to tow.
