Don't know about "TT for Dummies" but there is a book called "RV Vacations for Dunmies.. This forum is a good place for a sanity check for you. Also http://rvhowto.blogspot.com/ has some good info. RVs are not, in my opinion, are not for people a good fit for people who not very handy rigging and fixing but if you can learn it if you want. My opinion on your TV TT combination is that it should work if have a good hitch and go easy on the extra gear. Also all listed weights will be below the actual. Only real weight is one done on ready to go.
