We are considering the purchase of a new TM. We have owned a Coleman pop-up for 16 years (a Sequoia model) and have enjoyed the ease of towing and space it provided us.

The new TM we are considering is a 2720. We would like to purchase a 3024KB but are concerned that our 2000 Ford Explorer 2WD with its 4.0L engine will not be really adequate for towing the 3024. Although we live in south Louisiana and will use the TM more often in the southern and eastern parts of the US, we do plan trips out west where the elevations will be higher. From the info we have found on the TM owners' pages, it appears that the 2720 would be a more realistic purchase for us and the TV we own. (We don't anticipate purchase of a bigger TV in the future either.)

My concern is one of storage options in the TMs. (Our current pop-up seems to have more storage space than the TMs.) We would appreciate suggestions from TM owners on how to maximize the storage space available in a 2027 TM.

Thanks, and we certainly appreciate the wealth of info posted on this TM owners' site. The information is very helpful us as we make our decisions.
