Lightweight TT Options

Just went through this ourselves and ending up purchasing a 2011 Forest River Wildwood XLite 18 bhxl with a dry weight of 3500lbs our TV is rated at 5300lbs. So far we have been happy with the way it tows I'm sure once we get up into the mountains it will be slow going. We looked till we found what really suited our lifestyle and how we wanted to camp. Our mpg dropped to 11mpg from 17, but that's all part of it. If your not in a rush you can find nice new and used light weight tts out there. Rv trader is where we found ours. We did have to go out of town for it, but couldn't beat the price and condition of the TT. Weight distribution and sway control are something you really want/need to look into as well, the previous owners of ours left behind theirs which works for us as well. We had looked into big trailers ( before the truck was totaled ) but am glad we went with a smaller TT at least to start with. It is easy to tow, store, and maneuver, and we have found it also keeps us from sitting around in the trailer all the time. We were very specific about what we want, couch, dinette, and bunk beds, with no real need for a queen bed, so it took us longer to find.
Hope you find one soon and can start enjoying it. Start looking at campgrounds in your area s we'll as places you want to see and things to do. I know we have a list so we an call Thursday book a ite and leave Friday after work .
