Looking at many new/used trailers will be a learning experience. Do you like to cook, then a larger surface in the kitchen will be needed, can you get by with just enough room for one pot or pan on the counter. Do you watch TV, can sitting at an angle for a few hours not effect your neck, or would sitting directly across from it be a more comfortable position. Do you need a king size bed, or would a queen with night stands on each side fit your needs better. How big is the shower, can you stand and not hit your head. Is a fully enclosed bath more suitable or does it not matter. Is there a place to put your coats and jackets near the front door, might be a drag if every time you need a coat to go to the front closet in the nose of the trailer. Are three steps to enter the trailer too high for you or would 4 steps be easier on your legs. Holding tank size, smaller means more dumping, larger mean longer stays in places without sewer hook up. Basement storage doors, do they open wide enough or high enough to clear your head, they do hurt when ran into when you least expect it. Is outside noise going to bother you, maybe dual pane glass is something you will need, as it also helps with cooling and heating. Just some things i looked for when I was shopping for the 2nd trailer, had I know about some of these things before hand I would /should have pass on the first one purchased.
