Very new to these forums, like today. We don't even have a TT yet, but plan on buying before the end of the year. I have read almost every forum here and sometime I am edgy and sometime seem to "cannot wait". Never done any traveling with a RV or camping.
Both hubby and I will be retired by next March. We have a small farm and exibit show animals nationally. This is the reason we want a TT and not a 5th. wheel. We can attach our alum. topper to the pickup bed and haul the show animals and pull the TT for us.
We don't know one single thing about buying or living in a TT. Hubby has much experience pulling trailers, we have a 26' Livestock trailer. We won't be going full time as that does not appeal to us, but we like the idea of RV'ing.
Our CPA has advised us that we can write off a new truck and TT if we travel to these national livestock shows. I now own a 2002 Ford Diesel Super Duty 7.3. We will be buying new next year.
I know this is long and I am just muttering, but found this website and can truly say if we have a question, I am sure we can find answers here. Great site with lovely people.

Patricia and Roland,
First of all, welcome to the RV Dreams forums. Well, at least as active participants instead of as a lurker. No doubt, you have probably noticed that there is a lot of folks here with lots of knowledge.
While the travel trailer isn't a bad idea, you might also look into the option of one of the stock trailers with living quarters. Of course, I know nothing of your financial situation as to what you could afford, so this might be more expensive than doing the traveling the way you are planning. The link below is to just one brand of those kinds of trailers.

Feel free to ask questions, and good luck with your research and planning.

Welcome to the forum where you can "mutter" as much as you'd like. Since I know next to nothing about livestock I'll leave answers up to others.
