It also depends a good deal on the manufacturer. I would be more confident buying a used Airstream trailer than many others. Research at irv2.com the owners of various makes and the problems they have encountered. Some trailers have had structural and fatigue problems where the axles are fastened to the base of the trailer. Others may be more prone to leaks and the structural damage this can cause.
Replacing a fridge or hot water heater is trivial compared to fixing a structural defect or similarly damaged trailer. The problems with a given model and year may have been corrected and not present in later years production or the reverse may have occured.
For future resale there are brands like Jayco where people are more likely to be interested in buying your trailer when you decide to sell it.
