APT – My wife recently retired. I’ve been retired for 10 years. I admit that I don’t drive every day, but when I do, it’s usually driving 75 miles or more roundtrip, or at least 4 hours one way. I can’t do a 3/4-ton anymore.
A 25’ TT would do the job, if designed right. But the right features are tough to find in that length. It gets a little easier in the neighborhood of 27’. One I’ve got my eye weighs 6520 dry (and probably much more after options are added, we know how that works) with a dry hitch weight of 970 pounds.
With a Class A it is easy to find the features we want and I could buy a good used one for about the same as I would pay to trade the truck and trade the present TT. Big unknown right now is how much I would leave the Class A sit between trips because I know they like to be run and not sit.
