T T Decision Time
Hello to all. I'm still a relative newbie. I have been researching TTs as the wife has won the debate over going with; drive it or tow it! We are looking at 24-26' possibly 28' max TT. Of course there...

I was actually told by one dealer in Southern MD "if you don't buy it here then don't bring it here"
Good thing that is the exception and not the norm. That dealer is just flat out ignorant. Does that dealer not understand people with RVs can move, people travel with their RVs, etc, etc. In fact, we bought our trailer in OR and ended up moving back to CO a few years later. A dealer with that attitude wouldn't see a dime from me in service or sales. Again, that dealer will be the exception.
Couple of other comments. You've mentioned you are interested in a TT that has is better for winter conditions as you may be somewhere and experience that. Keep in mind that a better insulated TT will have benefits in both winter and summer. However, make sure you look into what that 3/4 season TT is offering as better insulation is only a part of a TT designed for freezing temps. You will want dual pane windows along with enclosed and heated tanks/plumbing.
If you are going down the path of used, I highly suggest finding a friend who is experienced with RVs and knows the tell-tale signs of poor maintenance and possible leaks. There are many, many very nice slightly used TTs for sale but don't get burned by someone trying to pawn-off a troubled trailer... know what you are looking at and for.
When you find a trailer you are interested in, new or used, make sure and try out everything... and i mean everything multiple times to know everything is working. Do not wait for a post sale PDI to do this as you've already signed the paperwork so the trailer will have to be fixed. Fixing smaller items after a PDI is OK but a slide not properly functioning, shoddy sealant work, internal bad plumbing, electrical problems are all going to be a thorn in your side. Make the salesman earn their money by proving to you everything is functioning before signing. Worse case is you've wasted your time and you move on to the next TT.
BTW, Lance is another well respected brand to add to the others already mentioned.
