My cousin has an Arctic Fox. It is the most solid trailer I have ever spent time in. They are heavy but then quality and solid construction go hand in hand.
I would suggest looking at something used. You never really know what you want until you camp in something. Outdoor kitchen? You give up some interior space/options with one of these and you might find that you don't really need one. Best save the depreciation while you look into your interests and needs.
I bought a used pop up, took care of it and sold it 16 years later for more than what I paid. I then purchased a new hybrid because I couldn't find a used one that was in decent shape. After a few years in we knew we wanted something larger and hard sided. Took a bath on the sale and then purchased our current trailer used. Saved a ton of money which made up for the mistake with the hybrid.
Good luck with your hunt.
