This is your first trailer? You may be much better off going used for at least the first one. It took 3 tries before we found what is ideal for us. I've seen many people buy new first and then find out they don't even like RVing. Until you try one or two, you could save a bundle by starting used.
Very true...MIght even possibly look local...Many times people who "think" they'd like to start camping, buy the camper, the tow vehicle and either never go, rarely go or just seem to find out they don't care for it....More "like new" TT's and 5er's out there than you might think. I'd look for one of those new to newer one's that is 1 to 4 years old being sold by the owner...Might find what you like and cut your own deal....the owner is probably wanting to get rid of it badly.
But what your truck can tow and buy something you think you can live with for the next 2-5 yrs...usually the only way you come out ok.....just my own .02 cents from having been there, done that, got the T-Shirt.....spent more money than I needed to..learning the hard way sometimes can help others if they want to hear it.
