I don't think I have much of an option....I want to buy used in order to avoid the new smell and also for the same money I could get a much better quality trailer
Have owned 3 new RV's and none had a new smell problem. IMO with no prior RV experience I would suggest you buy new or find a unit just a couple years old. If you look for something in the 5-7 year old range and not knowing what to look for you could get yourself in trouble. When we went looking we decided to go new as it was an eye opening ordeal. After owning 3 RV's now I would not have a problem looking for a used one. You certainly get more value shopping used. But those savings can go down the drain fast if you aren't able to inspect one properly.
