It also depends on the time of year you are looking to buy. We bought ours in May. That's just how it worked out. No way would they go down 30%. It was closer to 20% off MSRP.
I'm also curious about what SUV you have. With kids and a trailer that size you may well run out of payload capacity before you hit your towing capacity.

The trailer you are looking at has a GVWR of 7570. Granted you will probably not put 3000# of "stuff" in it, but you will have at least 1000# of "stuff".
And don't be afraid of a slide. In fact now that I have one I'd never want to be without one.
