good to start here, investigate old posts, it will help.
also good to rent a couple of types. it isn't a waste of money if you are new to camping as your title states. Every type has advantages and disadvantages. For example, are you going to have additional transportation or are you willing to disconnect the water, sewer and cable to go to town when you are staying several days or more?
You may have it all figured out but since you asked, these are the things that commonly come up. Will you want a car, golf cart or boat?
As for your pick, if it is in good repair and no leaks and you are handy then it is probably great. If you can see no evidence of old leaks or if there is maintenance records, then you are even better off.
Go thru them thoroughly before purchasing. Try out all the features. I would even ask to rent it for a week or week end with the rent going to the purchase price if you buy it.
Just don't buy it and hope. Hidden problems can be costly even if you do the labor. good luck.
