Re: Buying 1st Travel Trailer Go Large or Not?
Folks, just so you will know, I appreciate each and every comment you have made and based on your more experienced views I am rethinking my plan for a TT and considering a 28' to 30' box instead and a rental tryout. I dont know anything about renting a TT, any advice on that? Think based on the comments that have been posted, I better have some insurance on the rental when if I get one.

Thanks, Mark Twain, As my wife and I are a few years from retirement, it will be just us two living in the TT. As we felt we might (and I stress Might) decide to go the RV lifestyle at some point, we wanted a TT that would be as spacious as possible. The TT we are considering has only 1 bed, no couch or dinette as we intend to put two high end recliners in it and will probably sleep in them a lot of the time due to bad backs.404Views0likes0CommentsBuying 1st Travel Trailer Go Large or Not?
Hi, I am new to this forum and I would appreciate the views of all you Travel Trailer experienced hands on this question. I am looking to buy a custom built 36' Travel Trailer made by Recreation by Design that will weigh approx. 8000 LBS. I intend to use a Reese or similar hitch and sway/weight distribution set up on a Ram 1500 with a 3.92 differential, 5.7 Hemi 8 cylinder and a factory rated towing capacity of 10440 LBS. I intend to keep my total vehicle weight below 10440 LBS including passengers and cargo. I will be installing a back up camera with wide angle on the trailer. I have been told by an experienced RV guy that the trailer is too much for my truck and that the length will cause me all kinds of problems, regardless of what Ram says the tow rating is and what kind of sway/distribution hitch system I put on it. Any Thoughts from your RV Trailer Trailer pros on this or anything else I am thinking about and trying to do here? Mark5.3KViews0likes45Comments
