TT Guest House
Hello RV folks! My wife and I are considering the purchase of a TT to use as a guest house at my parents' place. The plan would be to set it up and park it there for the foreseeable future, but I'd...

OK gang, I have a few more questions.
There are two trailers we're seriously considering. Both are new Starcraft AR-ONE MAXX 25BHS.
Unit A: 2014 model, no oven, no spare tire, non-ducted AC
Unit B: 2015 model, has oven, spare tire and ducted AC
There's a $1900 difference in MSRP between these two trailers (Unit A being less expensive,) however there's a $2300 difference in the quoted price from the two different dealers. The quoted price on the 2014 model is right at 30% off MSRP, 2015 model is 26% off MSRP.
Pretty sure I can get a spare tire and bumper mount fairly cheap. The lack of an oven seems pretty negligible to me (could always buy a toaster oven,) but I could be wrong about that. Dealer for Unit A says the ovens are only big enough to bake biscuits anyway.
My big question: Is a ducted AC worth the extra $$? I know it puts vents in the bathroom and front bedroom, and can see where that would be nice.
Dealer for Unit B says this trailer will hold its value better because of the options and newer year model. I don't consider resale value to be a huge factor and assume that price difference will shrink in 5-10 years.
Which would you buy?
Thanks!
