My husband and I decided that we were just going to go with something little just to avoid all this headache. I mean like a 26-28' ( That's little to us for a family of 7)-one of the lite versions.
But then we were talking it all out and I said,"well it comes down to this: would we rather have a big TT with plenty of room but have to deal with the headache of towing it. Or would we rather have a small TT that might be a bit cramped but will be a breeze on the road?" I had myself convinced of a smaller TT at this point until I immediately ponder this: "We'll only be towing our TT for a few hours every week or two. But we will be spending weeks in our TT. Oh wait..." lol
Crap! I thought I had made my mind up but now am not so sure once that thought came into my head. I have actually started dreaming about TT, particularly the Dutchmen and how to make it work. Seriously, even when I am asleep I am still thinking about this. Just praying for clarity here!!
I had my husband read through all the posts and he was equally surprised by some of the vehicle recommendations. We would have never thought of a big van or a bus. They seem opposite of what we need for some reason. Such great advise!
Thanks everyone, keep the input coming cause I still don't know what we are going to do for a vehicle or a trailer!
Our house is up for sale and when it sells we will hit the road. So kind of need to get this figured out lol
