After some extensive research (mostly from this board), I finally bought my first TM. I found a beautiful pre-owned 2005 3124KB. I had to drive 350 miles to get it but I'm sure it was worthwhile...I'll let you know after I get a chance to actually take it out for a weekend.

I just want to thank everyone for sharing their knowledge and experiences. I learned a lot over the past few weeks as I perused through old threads and messages. This turned out to be a huge help when I went to purchase the TM. The dealer was not a TM dealer...had very little knowledge about it. In fact, I ended up showing him how it works, and that was the first time I actually saw a TM in person. It was like blind leading the blind. It took me forever to convince him that the water heater could be used with gas and electric (we couldn't find the electric switch). We never found the pole to bring down the awning (I finally found it after bringing it back home). However, I was still able to do a thorough check after being armed with knowledge from this board.

The best part was being able to negotiate the price down. After looking like a fool, the dealer was anxious to get rid of the trailer so he wouldn't have to go through that again! Now, I just need someone who lives in Mass. to show me how this thing really works.
