Even if you’re buying new, go through it with a fine tooth comb. Bought a new travel trailer in 2021. Dealer and I both missed that the fridge wasn’t wired in. Complete PITA to resolve.

As for tow ratings - aim for 80% of what your truck can handle.

As for fifth wheels. Whoo boy. It’s easy enough to run through floor plans for the big manufacturers - Jayco, Coachmen, Grand Design, the Forest River conglomerate, Thor industries etc. then watch YouTube reviews of models you like. Josh the RV nerd is pretty good in that regard. Most of the 2023 models have some level of solar and many have tankless hot water heaters etc

Have fun shopping!
