Keep looking and be flexible when looking for used. We looked for two years to find our current trailer perusing the dealers, craigs list, eBay and other online sources. Went to a dealer to look at trailer they had advertised and didn't like it. The salesman left us alone and we toured the lot. Happened that they had another trailer that was very close to what we were looking for, but they wanted $2K more than we were hoping to spend. However, for that floorplan and size of trailer it was $3K less than we had seen previously. After thoroughly checking the trailer over for any issues and a little negotiation we bought it. 2 years later dealers are still asking $4K more than we paid for the same trailer. I still don't know why the price was so low and from a dealer no less. Bargains are out there but they are hard to find. CL tends to be the worst. Owners who are seriously upside down expect you to pay a "new" price for their 2-4 year old trailer so they can pay off the loan.
