Our First TT, will it be a hobby nightmare?
We are 2 weeks away from buying our first TT and we are not sure if this will be a nightmare or everything we dream about? We have our own business and can work from the office or a cruise ship, so...

I looked up your TT - it has a gross weight of 9250 lbs. Calculating by a reasonable 12%, that is 1110 lbs tongue weight. When you say your Tundra can handle it, are you referring to the manufacturers stated towing capacity? Or are you calculating against payload which is how much your Tundra can haul - it gross vechile weight rating? Stuff like that 800 dollar hitch setup, and the weight of passengers and cargo in your TV subtracts from payload. Post your door jamb sticker for help on this. Proper loading helps but don't let someone tell you adding water to the fresh water tank will reduce tongue weight.
If you are going to be on a long trip while under warranty, you will need to be able to get to a place that is authorized to do the work. All your other concerns come under the heading of stuff happens. Mold and mice being the least of your worries. Jayco has a good reputation and a two year warranty. Any Plumbing, leaking and electrical issues should be covered under warranty. Proper maintenance should prevent issues like a "poop" problem. This comes from learning how to use your TT which is part of the fun. Tires need to be maintained as well - aired up to the proper PSI, covered when not in use, and observe their speed rating - 65 mph for ST tires.
