When I bought my 1st TT several years ago I just wished someone had told me:
1. Do not drive more than 65 miles per hour on trailer tires.
What do you wish "they" had told you?

1. This will become extremely addicting and you will trade up several times before you are satisfied!!

1. There is a lot more expense to this than you will even begin to realize.
2. Learn about all of your TV's tow ratings, not just overall rated tow capacity.
3. Welcome to your new addiction. Once you are hooked, there is no turning back.

2. Get a bigger truck!

Maybe not me, but from what I see, more people need to learn to back up.

Only one thing I wish someone would have told me !
Once you buy a TT and then are forced to buy a bigger truck you will not be able to afford to go camping near as often.

I wish someone had told me, long ago, how much fun it is to have a trailer. I missed out on all of the years when my kids were small. DW and I are making up for lost time, though.

so true but that is where my above post about understanding all specs would have saved both of us.

That my 3 year old truck was too small and that I'd spend more then I did on my house when I eventually replaced it, twice.
Happy Motoring
