Going from a pop up to a TT decision. Want something towable with a 1/2 ton truck. Started looking at TTs on the small side. Keep in mind that everything looks big next to our small pop up. After touring RV lots with shady built flimsy feeling small TT's, we finally decided on the NT21FBS. Nice TT, well built and had all the bells and whistles for a 1st timer. We got everything offered except the front cap. Really love the little guy. Pulled great, and seemed to have plenty of room for me and the wife and occasionally, the grand kids. Really enjoyed our 1st time out. On 2nd trip, we took the two of our grandkids along. On the last day, it started to rain. Since we spend most of our time site seeing, cooking outside and just enjoying the outdoors, I never gave it a thought about the seating. Dinette is a kids bed, Papa is having to sit on the bed. Started getting old quick. Don't get me wrong here. The NT21FBS is a great TT and we've had no issues with it. But, had I looked at it a little longer and opted for the NT22FBS, II would have had an extra 3 feet with a sofa. Space is a premium in the smaller TTs. Shop wisely and think about all scenarios. I'm looking at 8G's on upgrading to a 22FBS now. That's a big hit on a 4 month old TT like new. For the few dollar difference and the extra space and seat, that should have been our logical choice. Had I looked at the comparison and saw the weight difference was about only 265 pounds, I think I would have opted for it. Again, love the TT we have but it could have been better. I new we would probably upgrade when I retire, but not this soon. lol For any new people that are buying their 1st TT, shop wisely. Look at your TV and decide on what size you can handle and get all you can the 1st time. More is better. Going to the dealer today to try and not go upside down on the 8G's. Hope he'll work with me on this. Maybe he will if I let him know I want a 5er when I retire.
