Good mid priced fifth wheel
Our son is looking to buy a new (to him) fifth wheel, 2011 or newer. He has a GMC 2500 Duramax truck, short bed. He wants a 30-32 ft. fiver. What brand or brands would you recommend? Open Range in...

The problem with a trailer that is only 2 years old is that most people selling them have paid virtually nothing off the principal they borrowed. So they basically need to get close to new price to get out of their loan. Have him do his research. Check out what is available locally on craigslist and other classifieds and what they are asking. Then go to a few dealers lots and find out what the lowest prices are for new trailers. Don't be afraid to make some calls to competing dealerships and let them know you are looking for the best price. Odds are you can get new with a warrantee for the same price as a fairly new used trailer.
Are you implying that the trailers don't depreciate much in the first two years or are you implying that people ask too much for their used trailers (and some people are dumb enough to pay exorbitant asking prices)? It's not really the buyers problem if the seller is upside down. The value is the value - what the market will bear... and that's in anything not just RVs/Trailers.
