I am totally confused and overwhelmed. I am looking to buy a 16' or 19' travel trailer but the more I look at all the information on here and online the more confused I get so I thought I'd take a ch...

I've browsed through all the replies and I really appreciate all the feedback. I am in a hurry right now so just wanted to make a short reply and to clarify myself a bit.
Yes, I live in Montana but I do travel south to visit relatives in the winter. I hate the moniker of "snowbird" because I'm not retired, but rather work a seasonal job up north so it makes sense for me to come south and help out my mother who lives by herself. I was thinking about 4 season mostly because of wanting it to be able to go through spring or fall weather up in Montana which can sometimes be pretty cold.
I also just bought a newer F150 V8 4x4 so now have the truck (drove it off the lot yesterday). It has trailer brakes already installed so that was a plus for my buying it.
I didn't mean to imply that I wasn't willing to get my hands dirty or roll up my sleeves if need be, just that that it would be nicer if I didn't have to do too much to a TT. I can do some repairs and am willing to learn if need be. I just don't know a lot about travel trailers and my math skills are not the best although that's what a calculator is for I suppose. I'm worried the learning curve for a travel trailer is really steep and I didn't want to make a large mistake right off the bat. I'll read through the replies you all posted again when I have a little more time. Thanks.
