It started innocently enough. My wife and I went to the Seattle RV show on February 5th, "just to look". After 13 years with a tent trailer, we were thinking about moving up to a hard-sided trailer with the luxuries of a real bathroom and air conditioning. Since the RV show we have visited 12 dealers and looked at 16 brands of travel trailers. Today we have "pulled the trigger" on a Keystone Cougar. Thanks to everyone in this group for patiently answering our questions as we have explored 1/2 ton towables and navigated through the brochures and sales hype. The time we have spent on this forum has helped us to be informed consumers. We feel very comfortable with our selection and are looking forward to some epic road trips this summer.
