comprehensive book or article needed

X2. Buy or select the TT first. Then match a TV to it. Why 22 feet? Because of where you go? What you can “pull?” Where you will store it? Because 22 feet has all the features you want?

Welcome to the forums! :) . You have found the largest RV forum on the internet and you should be able to find just about any answer to any question you might have right here or in one of the many other forums on this site. Take a good look around at the many possibilities we have here.

We have a pretty good FAQ that should give you a good start on the answers. Some of the links are a bit out of date but the information is still good in most cases.

I hope you get all your questions asked and answered. DutchmenSport gave you a good answer above and hope it helps. Please come back and post often. :)

I am considering getting a tow vehicle and small travel trailer 22 ft or so. I notice there are controversies about one or two axle, construction materials, choice of weight of trailer as well as possible hazards and dangers in pulling a TT. I wonder if there is a book or long article that would lay out all sorts of advantages and disadvantages of various related issues with towing and choice of TT. ( forgot to mention choices of brands of TT) Thanks Doug

The first step is to decide on a TT before you buy a tow vehicle. The RV world is full of first timers who bought a truck only to find it would not pull the TT they eventually decided to buy.

You hit the mother-load right here on these forums. There are several groups of forums and by selecting one, you can go back and read the many and varied posts and comments. You can also do a general "search" in the search box on key words and it will bring up a bazillion comments. You can click on the main links for those comments and read the entire thread.

And then, you can also just post a new question, and if someone makes the comment that you need to search the archives, respond back and just say you've already done that.

These forums are a wealth of information. If you can weed through sarcasm, the joking, and even some of the angry-snarley posts, underneath it all is a wealth of knowledge.


I don't know of any specific type of "list" or resources you are looking for, except searching the internet and putting things together in your heard. There are some very helpful sites with a lot of information, if you take the time to explore them.

Changing Gears is one such site with a BUNCH of lists, helps, suggestions, do's and don'ts. It a great site for both beginner and a 100 year old RV veterans alike.

GoRving is a really nice site for someone initially interested in RVing. It's full of useful information, not opinionated at all, just simply lays out simple facts and let's the reader make their own decisions about things. They also have some pretty cool YouTube videos, which I still enjoy watching after all these years: Go RVing YouTube videos, click here. Remember, the official site is GoRVing.com.

Again, YouTube is a magnificant source of information too. In the search box, type in just about anything and you'll get overwhelmed with selections to watch.

Just something off the top of my head: Compare Chevy with Ford one-ton dually. Here's what I got... simply overwhelming: Click here.

As I said, I don't know of any single resource that has it all. But maybe the above links will give you something to start with.

Remember ... don't be shy asking questions on these forums. I think there's a LOT of folks just eager to chime in and help you out!


Oh, one more: Advantages of Single Axle or Double Axle trailers, click here.
