You can do what we did, we looked at the size TT we needed. Then rented a similar sized model.
With just dumb luck we had chosen a TT that kept us within our max cargo capacity. Max cargo is on the door jamb and It is lot less than the towing capacity and will fill up easy with kids toy and other must haves. We learned that a bit late in the game.
Finally by renting we learned a lot about RVing, mileage, performance and most important Floor Plan. Then we could walk away and think on what we learned before we spent the big bucks.
Since the TT we rented was two years old and in excellent condition we decided that there were probably other used one we would like.
We ended up with a three year old model and have not found anything we like better in the last four years.
