I recommend looking for RV shows and check out the various brands and floor plans that might suit you.
THEN go on line and search for the models you like. The used prices you mentioned in your original post are well within the prices of NEW TTs. You can find great online reviews of many trailers, especially on Utube. Www.rvtrader.com lists models by state and distance from you, includes a lot of pictures.
I decided on my floor plan and primary concerns, such as a dry bath, a bed that does not get assembled each night to sleep in, & we wanted bunks for the grandkids. We watched some great video reviews and decided on the model we wanted. Then we searched for it. Closest was about 50 miles away, dealer wanted about $15,500 USD for the 2018 TT. Searched online, found another in the neighboring state 150 miles away for $11,500 and they just got it as a 2019 model with a bigger refrigerator.
For an individual, there are a lot of great small, easy to tow TTs with features for $10-12,000.
