We bought used for 30 years. Bought new in January. There are positives and negatives to both-ish. In theory, used is cheaper. We started looking this time at used and for what we really wanted new was a better option. There's no perfect. I wanted something we could pull with the Suburban. My wife wanted a slideout. We both wanted something in the 26 - 28 foot range. We both wanted something that didn't need any repairs. I wanted new tires, central heat and air, a new roof, two axles, a nice sized bathroom. What we got tows really well never had any sway issues. The only down side with the trailer vs. the motorhome is speed. I keep the speed down while towing, 60-65. In the motorhome if I had a lot of miles to go in a day I felt comfortable running 70-75 all day, or more felt OK. If you buy used pay attention to the tires and wheel bearings.
