How often do you buy new trailer?
We were having a conversation and this question was discussed. Just wondering....how often, on average, do you guys trade in/buy new trailers and why?

NEVER EVER EVER!!!!!
I have never bought a new trailer and I never will. I can buy a couple year old trailer for half of a new trailer or less and after the first camping trip there is virtually no difference between the two. I will never buy any RV through a dealer either! That is just another complete waste of money. I would rather look an owner in the eye and ask them what issues they have had with the trailer? If they say they have never had any issues... RED FLAG!!!
A new trailer is just as likely to leak as a used trailer. I trust my ability to find the damage from a leak on a few year old trailer. If there is a leak on a new from the lot trailer the damage will not be apparent unless if it is a huge leak and there has been a huge amount of precipitation to make the leak apparent. Yeah a new trailer does have a warranty... great if I want to skip a whole camping season while a dealer butchers a brand new trailer fixing the poor workman ship from the factory.
I am very glad there are a huge number of people that are willing to waste money buying brand new trailers... I will just never be one of them!
