Hello every one,

I am a bit apprehensive wrt asking my first question...as I know it is unanswerable/unknowable, but your input is valuable:

We are mid 60s and have upgraded from pop-up to TT and are planning our
next (and hopefully last) upgrade to a 5th wheel. It will also require an upgrade in our TV. We plan to travel most of the year, for at least one year.

We are currently looking at the Cougar and have just about decided on the 1/2 ton versions (which are not really 1/2 ton TV compatible).

Must haves:

1. quiet AC!
2. comfortable seating

and maybe
3. outside kitchen.(cabinets, stove, refrig...and water?)

We have about 1600 lbs of stuff in our TT and I don't see adding much more and I think we want a max of 10.5-12k ....not sure yet if TV will be gas or diesel 3/4 ton (Ford or GMC), so with gas we are at 12-13k lbs limit.

any and all input will be beneficial....I wish I had ask this question before purchasing the TT a couple years ago....I know someone would have given us a heads up wrt to noisy AC and extremely uncomfortable seating.

What should we consider?
