We looked at new travel trailers when we first got into this lifestyle. We rented a 19 footer for a 10 day trip, and found out things we wanted and things we didn't need. We ended up with a new Nash 22H, sold that and moved to a larger high dollar unit (which we crashed), then bought a very slightly used 3 year old TT, which we've pulled all over the west.
One issue (to me) is the fact that folks spend large amounts of money for a unit that sits alongside the house for most of the time because folks work. Is the high cost worth it?
Importantly, remember a salesperson is there to sell you his product--and will tell you fibs to get your pocketbook loosened up. Someone on this forum has the info you will find helpful because we've pretty much been where you are right now.
We would rather RV then motel it. It's just our way of enjoying the country we live in, so come on out!
