Hi, I'm new to the forum and I have a lot of questions that hopefully you can answer, since nobody at the nearby RV dealerships could. I'm beginning my search for either a travel trailer (24-26 ft.) or a 5th wheel (under or near 30 ft.) I've had a travel trailer before and experienced a lot of sway even with a WD and anti sway hitch. I was way under the towing capacity on my half ton pickup, but now I have a Ram 2500 Cummins diesel and was interested in 5th wheels as well. I'm going to list a bunch of questions and let me thank you in advance for shedding some light on these topics.
Are all of the smaller 5th wheels designed for half ton vehicles making them unsuitable for my 3/4 ton truck with taller bedrails? The few I've seen ride too low to be compatible with my truck.
Is a travel trailer the answer and have WD and anti sway hitches improved and by how much?
We are looking for a used travel trailer or 5th wheel for me and my wife. Are the prices listed by dealers open to negotiation and how much? Will they see below NADA low retail?
My wife may be driving too ( she hasn't towed an RV yet) so would a TT or 5th wheel be better.
We will do a lot of beach camping and may venture to other locations as we get more comfortable.
Any recommendations on models to look at that are not top of the line or the bottom? We would like it to be as reliable as an RV can be but we are also on a budget.
I'm looking forward to your advice in our RV search.
