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...

3 things started our search for our TT which after 6 months purchase love and feel we made a good choice
1. budget
2. matching tv and tt for comfortable safe towing
3. floor plan. (no bunks) just wife and i , wanted at least 1 slide
after giving these 3 pieces of info to our salesman who did a good job of narrowing a ton of TT's on the lot down to only 3 look at and walk thru. he spent probably 30 minutes with us on each of the 3 going over details, then recommended my wife and i go back thru each one just the 2 of us with out him and take our time and talk over things about what we liked or didn't like. he went back inside and said to take our time and come see him if we had any other questions. we did that and both liked the layout and features of our forest river wildwood 33 footer. of all places this was at a camping world. didn't really want to go the camping world route but they are our closest dealer and thats still a 2 hour round trip drive. lucked up and got an experienced low pressure sales guy.
i know the tt's rolling off the assembly lines right now are mass produced and quality may be lacking but you ultimately get what you pay for. so far after 6 months ive only had to tighten a few screws and couple of water line fittings. maybe ours came off assembly line on a tuesday, wednesday or thursday. i always heard monday and friday were bad for cars being assembled. a travel trailer is basically a moving earthquake so things will happen. i quickly learned to to maintenance on it from the roof to the ground. at least once a month i do roof inspections and also get on a garage creeper underneath and check bolts and nuts from bumper to bumper.
airstreams are considered high end but i honestly wouldnt have one due to the no slide thing and cost.
