Are you looking for what to expect in general going to a TT, or just regarding the towing aspect?
Both really. I was specifically interested in the towing aspect, but anything I need to know that will make the transition go smoothly would be helpful. We had camping in the PUP down to a science, and although I'm sure much will be the same, there will also be a lot of new things to learn.
Honestly. The TT will tow as good, and more than likely BETTER than the pup. That is what I found when we moved to a TT from a pup. Yes with the WDH it will take more time to hookup. But a correctly setup WDH will make the TT follow right along.
Biggest difference, Backing in and leveling. You will need more room, and some of the sites you really like. you can no longer get into. Plus you will need twice as many leveling blocks. And the TT will shake more when setup. (longer).
2nd big difference. Setting up, and hooking up at the CG. While you won't have to crank the top up, the setup time will not get shorter or easier. More hoses, and tanks to deal with. In short, pup camping is more simple than TT camping. For us, I'm still not sure going from a pup to a TT was an upgrade. But the bathroom does come in handy at night.
