So I have been reading and I have been learning.
So I know that I need for a TT or I think I need LOL
Brake controller
Hitch
Sway control
I am trying to come up with some sort of budget on these "extras" that I never thought about before LOL
Also I have seen on here about the sleep number beds for the RV. Can you use one from your home? We have one and we are maybe on planning on living in a TT for 3-6 months so I am thinking I can just put in the one we already own.
Thanks!

You might try checking out craigslist in your area for some good used parts or try the dealer. They often sell used hitches for good deals. Also, if the sleep number bed is inflatable per your choosing. I read in the Trailer Life magazine that they can expand and hence leak when traveling in high altitudes. The owner's advice was to let our more air when you plan that kind of travel. As for the length, yes, the other poster is right, RV mattresses are often shorter but you may be able to accommodate it based on the length of your bedroom.

We have always considered the house and the RV as two different places. Therefore we always have the trailer fully stocked and ready to roll. That includes clothes, dishes, food, everything. It is far easier to have two of everything than to forget something in the middle of no where.

Donno, read my last posting, we tried bringing everything. My compromise is to not camp in the middle of nowhere and we don't need as much.
