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...

For some reason, these thoughts just don't "compute" for me.
A new camper will have problems for the first year or two. I understand that. So the good years are between year 2 and year 7ish. After 7 years, you sell it, or get rid of it, or whatever.
Along comes someone wanting to buy a "used" RV. They look at the used unit, (now 7 years 'ish' old) and now you face normal aging wear and tear repairs. I don't see the any difference between repairs in year 1 or year 7, except during year 1, warranty will foot the bill. After year 7 ... YOU foot the bill.
Um ... it just doesn't compute.
So, Buy new. After the first year, you'll get 6 years out of it trouble free, then sell it.
The answer for me is I don't want flush 40% or more of my money down the toilet.
I will take that 40% and go on vacation and buy fuel for my truck. Even if a few things go out I can buy a lot of stoves or water heaters or whatever for 20 grand!
