Greetings and welcome to the forum. We've owned our '05 2619 for about 15 months - it is the biggest that fits in our garage even with the swing away tongue. What everyone says about ease of towing and setup are true. You do give up some convenience - you need to set it up to pack it, fill the water, drain and flush the holding tank, etc. For us it has been a good trade off as we can keep it in the garage (keeping our neighbors happy) and save by not paying for off premises storage. One extraordinary benefit is the camaraderie among the owners and this forum. You would be hard put to come up with a problem that can't be answered on the forum and people we've never met have been extraordinarily helpful and kind to us during our first year of ownership. I have a suggestion which is to take your owner's manual for the TM and appliances and all of the checklists available on the forum (which are far more comprehensive) and put them in a binder to carry with you. Even when you start to feel perfectly confident in your knowledge of your TM and it's systems, it may prevent you from having a senior moment and driving off without unplugging your shore power or turning on the water heater before you fill it with water, etc. - David & Mary Lynn (Camp2Canoe)
