Congrats on the new TT.
I bet that your kids will love camping.
Just remember the ONLY people that have to believe that you have the BEST TT at the BEST price is you and your family. Thats the only opinions that count so ENJOY !!!!

That was a gret response from Crickeydog and I'm sure everything will work out okay. If you go up to northern Wisc. check out the Hiawatha Trailer Resort in Minocqua/Woodruff.....great family RV park on Arrowhead Lake and always lots of activities in that area for everybody. Great bike trails also. We will be up there beginning of June for the summer. Good luck and fun on your first trip.

Our best friends just bought a new 2008 Antigua and it is great! They selected it because it was one of the nicest looking with great attention to detail. I am sure that it will give them many years of service.

IMHO, Crickeydog had some good advise with one exception.. Don't get hung up on the tires. He has a 5th wheel and most of them are quite a bit heavier and pose different problems. It is very difficult to find a set of non Chinese tires on any new TT these days. Mine came with "Mission" brand whic had very bad reports here. 3 seasons later and 20,000 miles, I finally cut one on something and replaced them with a set of "TowMaster" ST tires. They look identical to Marathons, but they do say China. So do most of the Marathons. BTW there have been may posts about problems with Marathons also. Make sure the trailer is not overloaded and the tires ar kept at the proper pressure and enjoy your new Antigua!
