Thinking of getting into the TT market
I am a total newbie, I am thinking of buying my first travel trailer... my wife and kids are sick of the tent. I have been looking at a Jayco Swift SLX, but I don't know the first thing about RV'...

No. As a first trailer, buy used. Why take a bath on a new trailer that you likely will be selling in a couple of years for another one. Just does not make any sense.
humm, We bought our first Trailer new, and glad we did...and we still have it too
I would tend to agree with buying a USED trailer first especially for new comers who may or may not "like" camping after the first outing (this HAS happened and will happen again).
Used allows you to save some money upfront without taking a total bath on the devaluation. It also allows you to see what you like or don't like in the layout.
If you don't like the layout you can resale and not lose much money a new one you will take a huge hit in loss of value.
I would however suggest renting a trailer for one outing to test the waters, camping is not for everyone..
