I bought new for my first TT - nothing wrong with it. You need to know the payload capacity of the tow vehicle. Payload will be exceeded before tow capacity. There should be a door jamb sticker that says weight of cargo and occupants not to exceed xxxx lbs.

Then calculate tongue weight by multiplying the GVW of the TT by 13% and subtract this from payload. If you come out with a comfortable margin, then go for it. Otherwise Google Cat Scale, load it up for camping and get it weighed.
