Hi all,
I'm in the market for a TT or 5'er in the 28'-30' ft range. Goal is longer stays (2-8 weeks) in the southern or western parts of the US. I live and still work 8-10 months/year in northcentral Illinois so the locations where I intend spending time are all a minimum of 700+ miles away. Truck is a 2010 F-250 w/V-10.
My question is this: Do any particular manufacturers have a better than average reputation for towability, over-the-road durability and dependability (as regards bearings, brakes, etc)? I can easily envision 3k or more highway miles per year on the trailer so I'm very leery of screwing up and purchasing a unit that is more suited for weekend trips to the local campground rather than a unit that is built to handle alot of highway miles.
Any advice would be certainly appreciated.
