another new guy thread

My wife and I are looking at travel trailers. Locally, I have looked at several. I really liked the cruiserrv radiance 28qbss. We like the layout. We have 3 kids, 9,10,13
My truck is a 2010 gmc sierra cc 5.3,3.42,tow package, or hd cooling, however you want to look at it. Rated for I think 95 or 9600lbs.
Have read a lot of good info here, thanks for that. Pretty sure my truck would have no issue with the model listed by looking at specs on website.

Being new to this whole thing, I have been to several rv dealers, they all want to sell me the 30-32 footers. I just don't know if I feel comfortable "on the edge" of weight limit.
I would like the extra room...
As far as brands, I have no clue what to look at or what to stay away from.
I don't have a problem buying used, just don't know what to look out for.
I have tons of questions, and I feel like I get pretty straight answers to some of my tech questions from the dealer, but I feel like I am not asking the right questions.
Thanks for any input. Everyone was new to this at one time. :)
