Better to put same money into a slightly used high end unit than a new mid or low market unit. The high end unit will have taken its biggest depereciation hit & all the new unit bugs, if any, will have been worked out.

Personal opinion you have better off with a shorter 30-33' triple slide than a longer 36' double slide.
My wife did not think she wanted a clothes washer, until I bought her one. She now loves it. We have a solar powered clothes dryer.
Whatever you do, get a 4 season unit. Remember the extra insulation is also very valuable for hot summer cooling.
To save cost, look at work camping. We find it very rewarding to volunteer and you get free camping. Sitting around doing nothing all day is not my cup of tea. We still have plenty of time to do tourist stuff.
