Thinking of getting into the TT market
I am a total newbie, I am thinking of buying my first travel trailer... my wife and kids are sick of the tent. I have been looking at a Jayco Swift SLX, but I don't know the first thing about RV'...

Don't know about buying, but they are a great place for seeing lots of different TT models.
Not sure I'd go to the show ready to buy something. Read alot, ask a lot of questions, know all the details for your tow vehicle before hand, such as, max cargo capacity (which is on a placard on the driver's side door frame), max tow capacity, max distributed weight your hitch can carry, whether your TV has a factory tow package, etc.
I'd use the RV show as another information gathering tool. Get brochures for all the TT's that you think might fit what you're looking for.
And enjoy the hunt. :)

What do I need in terms of accessories when buying the trailer?
Is the Jayco Swift SLX a good model?
Also, in Denver this weekend there is a RV show - Are these the best place to buy a TT?
Thanks,
