I know you have your mind made up as to the trailer. My suggestion would be to carefully revisit that issue and be sure you are getting a four season coach that is designed for full time living. Arctic Fox and others make coaches that fit that description. For a few dollars more and another few pounds weight you might enjoy the full time life style better than in a coach that is made purely for recreational weekend use. Look at the windows, tank sizes, etc. It is more than just how much something costs or how much off the price you can get.
This information is more important than any you will receive about pricing.
FWIW, my situation and use dictated that I would need a trailer that could endure harsh Winter climates. I soon realized that a typical factory built TT could not meet that grade. My decision then became how to accomplish my goal and what to use for a base as a starting point. I ended up buying an older TT with good bones and excellent running gear. The whole interior was removed, insulated. and reconfigured to meet my needs. I know most folks wouldn't even try this but the point is a buyer needs to consider the function and use of what they're purchasing instead of cosmetics and price.
If I had to guess, I'd assume the OP has a smallish tow vehicle and is bound by weight restrictions limiting his choices. Maybe he'd like to share what he will be using to pull this new house on wheels to get some more ideas about livable TT's?
