Truck is too small
At an RV show this Winter my wife and I decided to purchase our first travel trailer. Not know much about tow weights we gave the dealer our truck information to have him help us get a trailer that w...

No intention of being critical of anyone here, but there is a strong tendency to lean toward "size matters" and "bigger is better". Some valid point to it, but some folks have to make the best decisions they can to find a trailer that will work safely with the tow vehicle they have. Our '03 F-150CC is rated for 8000#. We barely knew our ROO 23SS was back there and we had wiggle room to spare. Our new TT has a GVWR of 6629#...we're not even near that number, still have wiggle room, still safe, but there is a noticeable difference between towing the 2604 and the ROO. I'm sure DH would love to run to the dealer and come home with a shiny new F250, but that's not gonna happen. IMHO, there is just way too much leaning toward the "just go buy it" and "gotta have at least 30' or 32' or whatever". Simply doesn't work for everyone. I would love to see some hearty recommendations once in a while for something in a great 24 - 25' for a small family with a suitable truck to tow it.
Sitting in our "little" 2604 one evening and admiring that it is just what we need...no more, no less. DH mentioned my dear cousin - and others who have to have the biggest toys on the block - and wondered "what the H... do they need X feet and 3 or 4 slides for 2 people???" Doesn't always have to be the biggest and the best to have the most enjoyment.....as long as you're safe doing it. End of fuss.
