Palomino Columbus vs Carriage Carri-lite

Yes, I know that they are not equal in terms of quality, but I am asking, because we can buy a 2015 Columbus for the same price as a 2009 Carri-lite. I am nervous about buying used, due to not knowing what kind of hidden issues there might be.

Any feedback on the showdown would be very helpful. Thx in advance!

    Yes...I am well aware of the gap in quality. I also know that the Columbus is about 4,500 lbs lighter, which may keep us out of driving a dually.

    I think comparing a columbus to a carriage is like comparing a BMW to a Chevrolet.
    I will always buy used over new. All the bugs are worked out of a used unit. We just purchased a used Jayco and there were no issues with it whatsoever.
