Best of luck to you, and happy camping. See you on the road.
Good advice for anyone.
I would add the net search brings up all types of forums (RV and non RV) that use some type of trailer. Its not a pretty picture.
For all new folks I would suggest http://www.rvtiresafety.com/.
Roger has pages of LT vs ST in his blog. He eliminates lots of myth on the subject that we see on RV forum mostly.
