From what I know, the $75,000 new units cost can buy you quite a big house in several areas of this country.
How handy are you? You can buy older units in the $4000 range and when they might have small bathroom, they will need "TLC".
Just try to find 1 with electric jacks for 3 minutes drop-off.
For me shower and bathroom are main reason for owning TC, but everybody has different needs.
However I don't think anybody can last without a toilet.
Still making right choice from start is whole wisdom.
You can rent small unit what is Lance on Ford F150.
That will give you an idea what you can expect from "basic" unit and how well it works for you.
