With our first tt, we spent six months researching online and reading forums such as this one. We went to two RV shows. We went to four different dealerships. We narrowed down the necessities to a walk around bed and a large freshwater tank.
We loved that tt so much we spent 200 nights in it in two years and dragged it over 20,000 miles around the country. But we knew we had to upgrade to go fulltime. So we started researching again, went to about a dozen dealerships, some as many as five hours away. We had a list of our must-haves and didn't consider anything that didn't have them. Four months of back and forth and tweaking our must-haves and we settled on a new tt. We compromised to get what we wanted, but we are happy with our choice.
