I prefer the "Lightly Used" approach.
Purchased pop-up less than one year old from a guy who selected for his desires, but wife and kids didn't come around to his way of thought. Savings was OK, rig was in Pristine condition, his wife was a clean freak.
Moved up to TT with a very lightly used 18CK floorplan that was literally purchased from a "little old lady in Pasadena!"
I have to clarify that I know exactly what I want when I buy & I am heavily into mods and upgrades. Many cite warranty as a factor, and it can be a big one. I have been lucky with no major component failures (I did have to replace TT axles, but that was my doing that bent them.) My fellow campers have had mixed, at best, experience with warranty repairs on some pretty expensive new rigs.
