First timer looking for TT...so confused
Hello all, My wife and I have been long time tent campers, occasionally going with friends in TT and pop-ups. We decided we wanted a TT. I have a truck that has a trailer capacity of about 6000 lbs....

Greetings,
Personally I think your pushing the limits too close at 5900 pounds GVWR.
Have you actually weighed your tow vehicle loaded ready to travel? Remember that published 6000 towing weight is likely for a stripped version of your vehicle with a 1/4 tank of fuel and one 150 pound driver. Let us know what your truck is so folks can make a better educated guess.
Second. Do not buy new and expect it to go 20 years. Unless is sitting ina garage somewhere and never used expect life of 10 years for the bottom of the line trailer. One that light is light for a reason.
Third. NEVER EVER buy new as a first RV. Once you have it home you will start finding stuff you dont like. After a year or two most people trade for their next RV or simply get rid of it. RVs are a huge depreciating asset, so there is no need to throw your money away. Unless that is you like to.
