Older well built or newer TT
If you had a choice of buying an older well built TT (Artic Fox, Lance etc...) or a newer (not new) TT with less quality for the same price what would you buy? I'm getting ready to buy a "newer" TT...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Auto leveling, quiet A/C with return ducting is just one of the features now standard on the newer units.
THere are bugs and kinks to be found in both new and used. There are gems and lemons both new and used.
I keep my RV's a long time. I prefer new simply because I want the full life expectancy. yes I want years 1-6 when things are new and maintenance is relatively minor. By year 7 things are worn and will need to be replaced and sured up.
By used just puts you farther down the life expectancy curve. I agree there is savings to be had on the used market however it is a trade off in how the unit is equipped. I factory ordered my unit to get the options I wanted and the colors I chose vs. what was available and the compromises involved.
I did not want to compromise on features colors etc.just to say I saved but now have someone else's choices.
There is well built and there is inferior but contrary to what many believe those qualities are not defined/determined by new or used.
