From much time spent on RV forums plus my own experiences I have to say that quality control is severely lacking in the trailer industry. I found so much shoddy workmanship on my own toy hauler, which I bought new, that I'll never buy another one (Voltage). After 2 years mine is finally right. Most other brands have similar complaints. Don't buy new. Get one a few years old, like mine, that has had the bugs worked out of it. You don't want the hassles of a new one.
I do agree with you, but after ours and the problems we had in the first year I had to keep a close watch on it usually checking after any rainstorm for leaks and found that one of the windows leaked to the inside and 3 others literally had no drain holes on the outside and water built up in the window wells to the point of overflowing . If it had been a used unit kept in a storage compound, the previous owners may have missed that and now it would have water damage and out of warrantee. So I suppose in this case there is an argument for buying new.
