Don't know exactly where you want to camp, but some of the more snooty CG's place "restrictions" on how old a trailer they will allow.... Not my idea of a "friendly" CG, but a '96 may not be allowed in some places...
As for the unit that you are looking at, my biggest concern would be the roof. Get up there, look for cracking in the materials and seals, look for any signs of a repair, which may indicate a problem area, and look inside for any water staining. Tires are also a likely issue, but can be easily replaced. You can check the mfgr date of tires by looking up the codes. I wouldn't run tires more than 5 years old anywhere too far....
Good advice. If you are confused, then your reality testing is probably pretty good. Comparisons are very difficult.
Before you buy anything I suggest doing the weight numbers on your 1500 to make sure you're within limits. Good hunting!
