Most of the time you will be on a level roadway thinking "this ain't too bad" but what you will remember the most from your trips are the times as described above, or worse, and this will make you tentative about doing it on a repeated basis.
Avoid RV PTSD and take into consideration the possiblity of a smaller trailer that still fits your needs.
Good advice here. After 4 months of towing a 33 foot TT with my ford f150, im getting ready to upgrade to a f250 super duty. with factory towing package on the f150 and wdh and sway control, and packing light it was doable, but after a couple of 8 hour round trips wife and i decided it was time to upgrade trucks. i do not regret buying a 33 TT though because honestly we love the space even thought its just the 2 of us and 4 small dogs. I would not be happy with a smaller TT. but to each his own. we spend most of our time outside the camper but its nice to have plenty of room because both of us are semi claustophobic
Glad to hear that you are taking advantage of options and deciding to upgrade to a more capable "tool".
I've seen far too many folks go sour on a hobby (RVing, woodworking, fishing...etc) because their chosen tools are inadequate and the desire to avoid the frustration becomes greater than that of engaging in the hobby.
