Since the RV life style is not new to you, you will understand the advantages of trying before you buy.
Find the type TT you think you want, rent a similar sized unit and see if your tow vehicle, spouse, and temperament are up to the task.
What comes to mind; are you willing to accept 250 to 300 mile days, driving at 55 to 65 mph, being passed by everything on the road, a total TV and TT length of 50 plus feet, backing a TT into a campsite, setting up and taking down, winding your TT through city streets to find a quilt shop and a host of other issues that one has to experienced to understand.
We are park it and wander people so dropping the TT so we are free to sight see in the TV is perfect for us.
