I have bought and used trailers since 1961, all sizes and makes.
5th wheel and tag along's. never buy a new one anymore, i buy used travel trailers 24 foot + or _ a foot. I all ways expect to work on what ever i get, after many trips in and out of mexico and Alaska,as wagon master and travel alone. We expect to have trouble as all highways are not equal in quality, so learn as much as you can about your rig before using it. Be sure you understand the heater need's 12 volts for igniter so will the refrigerator,and HW heater. Know and check your spring;'s and spring hangers, inspect your own wheel bearing's and brakes.Do not expect to buy one new are used,jump in take off,with no chance of troubles, not going to happen.Buy them use them enjoy them and just fix what ever happens.
