20152 Rockwood Mini Lite 2503S
Notice how quickly these things depreciate? :)
Edit: Hey, here's a great example. Better construction in this trailer than many new models. It may look a little dated inside, but for the savings, you could easily update fabrics and interior. Kinda small, but I'd take quality first, if the size was acceptable.
2006 Northwood Nash 19B
Here's a walk through of a 2009 model:

Another example (Arizona) Lots of "snow bird" trailers here.
