How did you decide on which TT to buy ?
We have had four trailers in our long lifetime and we bought them all based on floor plan. The biggest problem has been that each has had the perfect floor plan, but have been the lowest quality tra...

I now lease my 1500 trucks so I can be in a new truck every 3 years with no extra equipment other than a factory tow package. My previous trucks were 2500's and a 350 diesel but more expensive to lease. Lots of deals/rebate money out there on 1500's.
I wanted a TT short enough to do state parks and dirt roads off the beat n path. After towing countless trailers of many brands and types. I found a floorplan that would work for 2 people and a 70# foxhound in an aluminum sided , non slide floorplan which both save weight.
I wanted an island bed, dinette and sofa and found all these things in a 27 ft ball to bumper TT.
The bonus for me was a 90 gal freshwater tank and a large full width rear bath that's large enough to add / install a 2nd toilet, a porta-potti for boondocking without having to drag the TT to a dump station ( i camp for a month at a time off grid) .
My Jayco fit the bill and has been a very good unit with simple issues that I took care of myself. I put 7500 mi a year on it and it's been real nice.
I have owned better brands that folks here like a lot but I didn't find them to be the better option mechanically. If you don't have a good dealer that will help you, you are on your own with any brand of RV and they 'ALL' have problems.
A good dealer can resolve things to make it better in any brand. MY advice, buy the floorplan you like from a good dealer that knows what he's doing.
