Don't worry about it. Just keep asking. I have a question for you, (too many threads started to keep track:)), what is your price range and do you have a preference on size of TT. The reason I'm asking is if you're looking to semi full time, that is stay out for 4-5-6 months at a time then you really should consider a larger truck and TT or 5th wheel. The 5th wheel will give you more storage in the basement but not necessarily inside. That of course depends on the model. They do offer more headroom and you get more room inside for the OAL. After we went from a smaller no slide no sofa (only dinette) TT to a larger 31' with sofa, recliners and dinette I don't see how you would be happy with a smaller TT when being out for months at a time. Not everyday is sunny and 80deg out. If you do go to only warm places and do plan to be outside more than inside then a smaller unit may work. While we haven't been doing the RV thing for all that long we have found that the more comfortable a TT/5'er is inside, we find ourselves enjoying being inside more. You also mention liking to watch tv, so that tells me you will be spending a fair amount of time inside. Sounds like you need to really get out and spend a few weekends looking and sitting inside a few. Everything looks good on the net. When you actually get inside is when you see the good and the bad. Make sure you try everything out. Sit in/on dinettes, chairs. Check the bathroom out. Stand in the shower. Can you sit on the toilet without being a contortionist. Is the fridge, bathroom, pantries, or dinette accessible with the slide in? Check the payload capacity on the trailers axles. You don't want to get one that has very little axle capacity. If you're going out for even a month at a time you'll be packing 1500lbs or more of gear. Not trying to discourage you from your choice, just trying to offer a different perspective.
