In my opinion a TT has only one great advantage; you are taking your house with you. Bed, bath, kitchen, television and microwave you name it. It is the ultimate in convenience if you like to travel.

If my goal was to take my kids fishing, my TT wins hands down. If my goal is to “venture forth into the wilderness” my TT would be my last choice.
