It's cute, Deb. I didn't see a tv, I guess you could add it, but does it have an antenna or cable hook up anywhere?

Here's my little rig...believe it or not - sleeps 5, toilet/shower.
Thought, I honestly can't imagine 5 people in there on a rainy day.
But it's lightweight and easy to pull.

What kind of rig do you have?

Sorry - didn't see this until today (Saturday). It's a Cruiser RV Fun Finder X-160. My van has a towing capacity of 3,500#, so I was very limited. Next trip, I'm going to have to leave the husband home so I can bring the new ice maker. Sorry, George, but you'll enjoy the quiet time...

I just looked at the specs of a 196RD. None of the 3 I looked at had a TV. I don't do TV so that is okay, but if you put much in that trailer it will be hitting over 4,000 quick. Then you always have to dump to travel because that "stuff" weighs a lot - like water then some. The length blew me away it is 22' 11". Definitely need weight distribution hitch with that. Saw where it has a full pass through storage - yikes. That is nice I love that on my rig - but it means you carry more stuff. So the options will add and subtract weight. Nice looking trailer. Just saw that Camping World in Tallahasse has a new one for $12995. Not sure of options, but $$$$'s look nice. Then one on e-bay, new with a reserve of $9995 that didn't hit reserve.

Welcome Deb, tried to find Peachland in our state here and wasn't on map. Must be a small place. I was just curious as to how far from me you might be. As far as any info on buying a TT, will leave that to others, I have a small class C, so thats where most of my knowledged is directed. Which I learned the hard way, after my husband past. I have traveled many a mile alone, and with my SiL and others, but mostly alone. So you get your TT and if you want to do something bad enough you can, and we're all here for you.

Glad you joined, sorry I am so late in my welcome, but the welcome is still most sincere !
