Newbie...So Confused
Looking to buy a new TT and just don't know what Brand/Style to go with. Im sure many of you have been through the same thing. Very hard to find reviews and when you do you will get a real mixture....

Thank you so much for all the feedback so far.
For starters I am the wife doing my homework....lol... Not the husband....Surprise surprise I know.
We tent and shelter camped for years when the kids were young. Now the kids are gone and we still have our 4 dogs. This makes traveling and getting away very hard. My husband does a lot of traveling on the road and we thought if we got a trailer it would make it easier for us to meet up once in a while and start doing a lot of camping/traveling again.
As far as our vehicle. Its a Ford F-150 FX4x4. Gear Ratio of 3.73 GVWR is 7350. If I researched right. We can tow a trailer of up to 9100 lbs and combined weight of truck and trailer GCWR up to 15,100. Does this sound about right?
Alsoo any length we should try to stay under. Our truck bed is the short 5.6.
Thanks again for all the feedback. Much appreciated. Husband doesn't have a lot of time to spend researching.
That's ok the DW usually always wins on what layout they get! :W
As far as the 'max' weight your tow vehicle can handle. Unless you want to struggle on grades and be on all the time driving which is very tiring for the driver stay way 'under' your max capabilities for a more pleasant experience RV'ing.
Regarding the number of dogs you have. Call around to the camp grounds you intend to travel to. CG's have some VERY strict rules now in regards to the number of dogs allowed and a maximum weight allowed. It may change your plans on RV'ing with your dogs.
