    2024 TT SR - RWD
    None - yet
    I'm 3 years out from my retirement at 65. I will be buying a trailer and hitting the road.

    It occurred to me to buy my TT now before prices just became outrageous and unaffordable.

    I'm here to learn whatever I can before my launch date...

    Buying new or used? If you are buying new, i'd just wait till you are about 3 months out from hitting the road. Trailers now are getting made cheaper and cheaper. It would be better to buy closer to retirement, do a few short shake-down trips to iron out the kinks, and then hit the road while your still under warranty.
    We had a 2014 forest river evo and now have a 2022 cruiser MPG. I'd recomend getting somethign with a slide out and as much automatic features as possible.

    I remember hearing about a $30,000 dollar GMC pickup a long time ago and I was thinking to myself "Who the hell has money for THAT?"

    Can you even buy a decent car for 30K now?

    Sounds like a good plan. Don't have any camper experience?

    If not, this would be a great opportunity to rent some trailers to see what you do and don't like. Different sizes, options, etc.

    I sure wish I had done that a few times. We would have never purchased the camper we did...if at all.
