Looking to buy
I am looking to buy a TT. I have found one I am very interested in. It's a 2003 Salem LE 26 foot. It looks brand new, and the owner has only used it twice(so he says).
I have a GMC 2500 pickup, is there any website I can go to, in order to determine, if I have enough TV? I don't have the time to go and weigh the truck.

What else should I look at. He is looking to get $6900 for it, but with the economy, I think I can talk him down.

Any input is greatly appreciated. I am excited about it, but don't want to make a mistake.

Try this site to get a good explanation of the towing terms and weights.

There is a spread sheet at the bottom of the page to help you with the calculations.

You will need to know the ratings and curb weight on your truck.

And welcome to iRV2.com. Got any questions after you have studied the website, post them here.

Good luck looking.
