Every used TT we looked at smelled worse than the new one we ended up with.. Cigarette smell, wet dog smell, musty smell, poo smell..... The list goes on...
Our new TT did have formaldehyde smell in it, but after a week of airing out, it was fine (I told you my story in one of your original posts about new trailer smell.. ;) )
So, IMO, if you find a good used unit that does not smell of the things I experienced, call yourself lucky and it will probably be a good deal... But, after the first dozen smelly used units we went thru, new was all we could deal with..
Good luck!
