I am a try before you buy guy. We thought we wanted a TT so we rented one similar to what we wanted. Quite and education. The dealer set it up so I new what I would need when we bought one.
It is the same with other details; generator, extra batteries, and all the other stuff people have are only useful if you need them. Our TT was fine as equipped by the factory because we usually camp at State Parks.
The Good Sam camping section of this website is good, or my wife goes on-line and types in "Campgrounds near such and such city".
TT camping is not for everyone and some techniques such as boondocking, or dry camping do require certain TT mods. No sense making them if you do not like towing a barn down the road.
Also remember that you will most likely; travel about 300 miles a day, get 10 mpg. drive 60 to 65 mph. and learn to park a TT.
Renting shows you all this stuff without a major purchase.
