We spend in excess of 100 nights per year in our RV, so it is well used. We purchased used (2 year old) and when we go with something else, it will also be a slightly used model.
Most people spend 1 week and then a few weekends in theirs, so within the first month, we have spent more nights in it than the previous owner did in 2 years.
For a TT, I would spend no more than $20,000; a popup less than $10K, and for a fifth wheel, $30,000. Now if you get into the motorized, whose guess is is as to how much it will or should cost.
That's just my thoughts on it and I guess a lot of it depends on your location and what is available.
