Shopping for first TT...not seeing used that much cheaper
I'm considering buying a small travel trailer to pull behind our Honda Ridgeline. I've never traveled by RV...ever in my almost 49 years. I've read often that for a first timer, it's best to buy used. I almost always buy used with cars, so it was logical. However, I'm not finding that much of a price difference.
One example: an rpod rp177 is $14k locally for a new 2014, and the few I've seen used seem to run $10k to $13k for a 2010, for example. I've seen similar relatively small differences on a few other models. I realize the used models might have more equipment than a basic, new model. But personally, I'd buy new if I'm only saving a couple thousand dollars by buying a few years older. Am I missing something?
I am in the VERY early stages, just researching. I'll visit a couple of dealers this weekend - I haven't even checked out any rigs in person yet.
