We bought ours (and did a LOT of work not normally necessary to a new camper owner) knowing nothing about them, really. Neither my husband or I had ever owned or used anything bigger than a cabin tent. That said, my husband is a master mechanic and very handy, with some open trailer towing experience, and my son is an engineering student and willing to look up and study any problem to its solution. If you're going to be doing weekend trips to campgrounds with hookups, and you are willing to do basic maintenance (caulking, screw tightening, paint touch up, battery service/replacement, etc.), I think you'll do fine. Like any vehicle or home, a TM does require maintenance - tires, batteries, caulking, etc. As stated above, any more complicated problems can be brought here for help from the forums. I would definitely join if you buy a TM, as there is info available to members that trial members don't see after their 30 day trial membership.
