Interested in Travel Trailer

So the wife and I have been talking about this for about 2 years, bought a truck, built a RV gravel pad on the side of the house, just need the trailer.

I live in Happy Valley, OR and love camping. If I had my way, we'd sleep in a RTT, roof top tent, but she needs more. :-)

Any insight would be gratefully appreciated.

Well good luck on your search. Once you have a length you want and a weight you want, make a list of any must haves and would be nice to have and then visit some dealers. We usually go to the shows in the winter to look at things. Surprising, once you start looking you will she what you want and what you like and don't like.

Consider going to a RV dealer with the day available and look, learn what you want, what you can afford, what you can tow. Check out Curtis trailers, we spend 1/2 a day there looking and there was no pressure to buy. I have purchased 8 rv's in the PDX area and been on their lot afew times. They do have a free owners workshop. At the same time of sale the salesman covered everything about the trailer, most I already knew. From the questions that come up here from new owners. Either the new rv owners are not listening during the walk thru or likely not told how to use their rv from where they purchased. Good Luck

When my wife and I started we went to the boat sport and camper show to look at campers. There was so many campers there we took 9.5 hrs and didn't see them all. But we did find the layout she liked. Then we went home and did more research online. Just be sure to get a camper within your weight limits for your truck, safety first...
