item 1: my three TCL TV's have great pictures and work well. Unless you are some sort of "videophile", I'd recommend saving your money.
item 2: I have a 42' now, but my 35' was often unable to fit in National and many state parks.
Item 3: Get used to having a hard time finding a site on short notice anywhere you go. RVing continues to grow at a very healthy clip and campgrounds are not keeping pace. In a couple of years, that will likely reverse when campground owners over react to demand and overbuild.
Good Luck and Safe Travels

That's more urban legend than true. We went in 2016 up the ALCAN and back the Cassius and didn't have any problems. The Canadian roads in the Yukon Terriority are the worst and the AK roads comparable to most lower 48 roads. The key is slow down. There will be unexpected pothole, frost heaves, bad sections so slow down, enjoy the view and save the RV. When encountering oncoming traffic in construction zones, slow down, move as far to the right as possible. That may save your windshield. They only have the summer months to make road repairs so you will encounter construction, but they work pretty quick.

We left from central Texas in our ‘18 375 res in April...about 6 months now. It is a very solid trailer. My biggest concern so far are the springs, not flat yet... but getting there. Last time on the scale we were 16,105#. Not over...but right at the limit. Our only “shakedown”was a 2 night trip about 100 miles from home...then we left. In the last 6 months we have had very few problems, none major. A few screws here and there and a converter that went out last week. Replaced myself with a much better unit and grand design is picking up the tab. Before we left we had a chance to test appliances and systems and found a faulty oven. Called and they sent me a new one at my door in 2 days...less than an hour to replace. They absolutely stand behind their product. I’ll be calling shortly for springs and have no doubt they will do the right thing. You’ll hear a lot about the tires. We have about 6000 on ours now and they look fine. I’d buy another tomorrow.
