I think you just need afew times out in it and you will be fine, just a normal feeling that everyone gets when upgrading to a new TT, unless you drive semis' for a living.........

Bought my first RV tow behind when I was 62 and it was a 21'. I'm now 65, retired, and just stepped up to 33' FW. It's a lot different but I'm getting used to it. I plan a 1100 mile fall color tour in September and then will be going to Florida in February.

My first TT was 31ft now age 42 and I have a 40ft FW 54ft total with truck. I don't think age is all that important you just need to be comfortable towing or driving your rig.

Don't you know, never ask a woman her age? I'm getting ready to be 29 for the 10th time. I tow a 30' TT. I started driving horse trailers at 16 and was driving myself to horse shows without my parents by 17.

26 years old with a 25 year old wife pulling the same 36' sv305! To me age really has little to do with it... State of mind and experience are the big key factors!
A little off topic but how do you like the 305? Any mods you've done/suggest? Complaints?
I'm working on a set of awning poles that OC and Turbs got 3/4 of this forum hooked on.
