Newbie to tt -- looking to buy--and confused! Lol!

I think you are going about this new adventure very smartly. My first was an older 27' Class C that we paid cash for and created lots of great memories. We discovered what was most important to us for our latest TT like a walk around queen bed, more counter space, and designated beds for the kids instead of using the dinette. I've managed to avoid spending big bucks and plan to keep our current TT until we become snowbirds in 15 years.
