Thanks for the info. It was really helpful. Now I'm going to figure out if my TV will be enough.

When "Shopping" always spend Time in units with the Slides "In and OUT" and play Make Believe! Units Really Change with slides In or Out! Traveling Use and Campsite Use are important issues for some! Bathroom,Refer,Lunch breaks,and Naps! Lots of Members come back after the fact with,"We cant use -----? without the Slides Out! I see the 274DBH has a Door on the Drivers side for Bath! Youroo!!

The Cherokee 274 and the Grey Wolf 26DBH have both doors on the same side....The Grey Wolf 27DBS reverses the layout in the back, making a door for the bathroom on the drivers side, and has a slide out in the bunk house with a jackknife couch as the lower bunk.

X2!
And as suggested spend time in it while it is still the dealer's property. Have them pull the slide in and out to see how it will look when camped and when traveling. ALSO check to see if it can be loaded for a trip with the slides "in", a big help if your TT is stored in a narrow spot and you can't extend the slides. Also can you get to the bathroom for stops on the road or when the gas station looks a bit sketchy? Just some things to think about during the process of choosing the TT your wife likes.

Need help in choosing TT

Just want to thank each and every one of you for taking the time to reply and give great advice.

The DW and I just put down a nice deposit on a 2017 Cherokee 274DBH. Should be taking delivery in the next couple of weeks. We are beyond excited.

Congratulations and I hope you have years of fun and adventure in it! Perhaps we will see each other in a campground one day! I agree with MikeT, perhaps referring to your partner as DW (dear wife) or perhaps LOML (love of my life) will assist with the happy camping!

So what was the deciding factor since that was not wife's first choice?

Once we figured out we could safely pull either trailer with lots of our "stuff", she quickly changed her mind. I was pleasantly surprised.
