Soooo OP
if you were in the market again..... and say you lived in the LA, IE, Mohave craigslist areas and had 20-25K to spend what would you seriously look at?

Sorry for the late reply cxr. I bought a new (to me :B) TT and went on a shake down run 1,300 miles and been to 2 races since you posted. So I have been just a little busy! :B
So to answer your question: I found and bought an Arctic Fox Silver Edition 30' TT.
I was looking at the AF and a Snow River TT. The AF won out because it was about half the cost of the SR. The SR was only 3 years old and was super nice but I can buy a lot of diesel for 10 grand and the AF is in just as good of condition; it's just older like me!
The shake down cruise went perfect except my new TT tows WAY, WAY, WAY heaver then my old Layton. I don't know what the AF weights ready to travel but it is HEAVY and tows way heavy! It must be close to twice the weight of my old trailer and that takes getting used to after 20 something years of towing the old trailer. I bet it's close to 11K! Here is a picture of my new love. (BTW it cost half of the budget you set.
