Thoughts and suggestions appreciated!

Hi to all on this forum.

I am planning to retire in 2021 and would like to full time in a TT for a couple of years. I have not owned a trailer before, and after some research, I and am considering this unit.

Comments from those of you that have "been there and done that" would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    Forget new, buy used as your first ever RV. No reason paying the huge depreciation if you dont know if this will work for you. There are probably a dozen recent threads on this subject. So you might want to search more.

    At nearly 50K asking price I would suggest looking at a fifth wheel before deciding. 50K will get you some decent sized fivers the advantage is way more storage, and closet space. Plus better towing.
