$10K says used, no matter what size.
I don't know how long Travel Lite has been around, I've not seen their products in this part of the country.

There is actually a model called "EggCamper" being manufactured today (17 foot) but at $25,000 new it is out of your price range, and has not been around long enough to depreciate to $10K used.
