Newbie Pre Purchase Questions
Hi all, new to the forum (and the world of camping)! My wife and I got the camping bug and we want to get a TT. I've read a lot of conflicting info and have some questions before we pull the trigger...

Well, a few things......
On a 1/2-ton you'll run out of payload or hit your rear axle rating before you hit the max tow capacity. It's a common newbie trap. And since you're talking a bunkhouse I assume you have a family & maybe a crew cab? Passengers and gear count against your payload.
If you can, research customer opinions on the dealers service dept. It's not unusual to be quoted several weeks or even months to get an appointment.
RV's are a house being subjected to earthquakes rolling down the road. How handy are you at repairs? If you need to take the trailer back to the dealer for every minor issue you won't get a lot of camping time in.
