New Travel Trailer

[samsontdog]

HELP My daughter and S I Law recently retired and are looking at new TTs. They found a 2022 29 ft, 2 BR, 7,000 pounds, fully loaded. Forest River brand. He has a diesel short bed. half ton. The price is just over $45K. WOW !! They put a deposit on it and then called me. I have towed thousands of miles, 5th w, TT, Pop Up, you name it in the last 62 yrs. I think it's too much money for the TT, not enough truck to tow it or breaks to stop it. Tell me what you think and I will forward the comments to them. I know what you will say I think Help me out. Also, he has never towed anything other than her Toyota on a trailer from New York to Calf and little cargo trailers

Well, if they are ready to buy now, then go for it. If you wait a year or two, something else will come up (like needing money for food, lol!).

What make and model truck does the son in law have? At first thought, a diesel half ton should be fine towing 7,000lb fully loaded.

What is the ratings for the truck?

Prices are dropping fast !

A 1 or 2 year old similar trailer would be 1/2 as much !
