Warranty considerations: A 2-3 year old unit will probably not have any warranty, which tells me to buy a simple, easily maintained unit over one with all the bells and whistles. Jayco and some other brands have a two year warranty which will get you to the front of the service lines and should keep you out camping instead of repairing. For a handyman, RV maintenance/repair can be a fun hobby.
