I would say go for the new one. You have clearly thought this through and have your finances in order to afford it. Life is short and I am a firm believer that one should do what they want to do when they can.

We had a 2005 30' high end fifth wheel that we bought new and kept it absolutely immaculate. In the meantime we had a baby almost 6 years ago and started to take longer trips in the trailer so it all of a sudden was getting small. We made the difficult decision to sell it after we found a 2008 35' triple slide unit from the same manufacturer in good condition. Now that we have used the larger unit for all of this year, we absolutely love it and wonder why we didn't do it sooner! We really don't miss our old beloved unit at all. Having a better layout, storage, features, etc. has brought a whole new world to us for camping. I think you will find the same once you get a unit with the features you want. You worked all of your life for it and deserve it :B
