IF you go with buying a travel trailer, you should consider two things for the options you listed:
1. Given that you have 3 kids under 4 years old (will you have more?), you need to plan for a TT that will accommodate your family. Remember that it does rain and you will all be inside the trailer for extended periods of time. And those kids will grow and get older and take more room. Personally, I would find something with a bunkhouse on it. Some TTs have a separate room at the back that has bunks, closet and a door.
2. All other things being equal (maintenance, no leaks, etc.) generally, the newer the TT the better. While some trailers can last a long time, when you start getting 25 years old, you are asking for problems. If everything else was equal, I'd shell out a few more hundred bucks and go for the newest TT you can get. 10 years old is better than 25 years old. Even newer would be better.
