Hello all I am new and do not own anything...yet. My Dad and I are looking for a fifth wheel or other towable type. Owners give the best reviews. Any and all comments , advise or bs are all welcome. And you never know I may run into you at the park next year. Texas Hold Em may pay my park rent...ha.

We bought a 35' TT (jayco Eagle, with 2 slides and a bunkhouse) three years ago. I agree so much with what others have said, so can only add this: although it was our first RV, we bought the one we thought we would enjoy most and grow into, and that has proved a good decision for us. The salesman was actually trying to sell us a used and smaller TT believe it or not, but we didn't think we would be comfortable or enjoy feeling cramped. This has proven to be spot on, especially on rainy days trapped inside with giggling girls. If we could have afforded a diesel truck and a hefty fiver, we would have, but that wasn't in the budget, so I'm working it into the retirement plan instead! I say buy the best and biggest that you can afford. We love ours and use it all summer long. Oh, and we have sturdy sway bars that improve the towing safety, although still not as smooth as a fiver, I'm told. Happy shopping!
