New or used 5th wheel?
We were looking to buy a TT around $20,000 at most. Since we are now considering 5th wheels, I have seen that the prices are higher. Would it be alright to buy used? Or is new better due to warra...

Just bought a used truck and used 5th wheel. I prefer someone else take the big hit on depreciation. Both were from dealerships, but I looked at private sales as well.
Zero in on what you're looking for. The internet makes doing your homework vastly easier. I set up a spreadsheet and tracked truck and FW makes/models for the better part of a year to know the selling ranges was for each. Read forums for suggestions, such as above, for what to look out for and what items are deal killers; e.g. stained ceiling in closet.
Take your time and enjoy the process.
Ditto.. I am just one step behind you, figuring it all out before buying our first. I am in the used equipment business, the only time I buy new is when I can't get what I want used. This and some other forums took me from stow behind TH on my Tahoe to now looking at 5th wheels and 1/2 ton and 1 ton SRW pickups. Having fun so far!
