When searching for a TT for retirement after years of tent and canoe camping, we looked at Airstreams.
The DW did not like the floor plan and the shape. At that point they could have sold for half the price of any other TT and it still would be sitting there.
In the end and after a very long search and a TT rental, we bought a little used three year old model. You guessed it, it had the right floor plan and overall size.
For most folks RVing is a hobby, it can be a rather expensive hobby but it is still a hobby. Its impact on the family budget should reflect that.
Also, like many hobbies, folks migrate to certain aspects such as boondocking, full service parks with pools, State or National Parks etc. and adapt their TTs accordingly.
So in answer to the original question, buy the TT with the floor plan you like, at a price you can easily afford.
