3 primary concerns of a first-time "tower":
1. Wide-turns
2. Reversing (steering a trailer in reverse)
3. Braking power to stop the tow-vehicle.
I am new to "rv's" also, and I love that I chose my first as a 28 foot travel-trailer. Used and needed cleaning, it was only $400. With all renovations/updates, it will be a small TOTAL investment of $800. I would recommend buying a CHEAP TT as your first.
1. You can rent a truck for any weekend trips to tow it.
2. Use it as a cheap opportunity to get familiar with appliances and features of TT's and RV's.....
3. Then decide if you would want something with more space inside, different features, or just a totally-smaller TT.
I have never had an actual RV, and they may be great....but I love having a CHEAP TT for "getting my feet wet" before I ever consider the larger expense of an actual RV.
