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...

RAM 1500 4X4 CREW ST 5'7" BOX your payload is 1840.. Pretty good. Is it just you and spouse in truck?
800 lb TW you may be up over 1000 lbs when loaded. Add more people to truck and youll be up there at limits.
Thing with the rams I hear is the coil suspension is not that good.. May need to beef it up with sumo springs or air bags as people on this site suggest.
Jayco cargo CCC is 1200. Not alot IMO.
Grand design youll get a bit more 1600 and a 600 lb tongue weight.But pay the price for the name.. Better quality?
My theory is find as light as you can with max cargo hold.
yes sunset trails is a good option.

You will have warranty work I am sure... I fixed all the stuff myself because I didnt want the RV tied up at the dealer for months as they are always swamped.. Only if there was something major would I bring it back. I bought the RV from a dealer that was 4 hours away. Its where I got a fantastic price. All my local dealers were 4000 more...those dealers were 1.5 hours away.
Very good thing to know... Warranty work can run a month or more.
I paid a small shop to do part of my work, it is about 1.5 miles from my house. I left it with them on a Monday and picked it up on Thursday. Lots of little things I did myself. Still do.
