I'm glad someone pointed that out! A new TT can depreciate mighty fast. I kept one for 3.5 years and was happy to get 75% of what I paid when I sold it. Some aren't so fortunate.
Have you sat in a TT with the AC running or with the furnace blowing? You need to be aware how loud these things are in the small space of a trailer. And these units are not usually well insulated, so those things will run very often.
There are a few trailers that hold their value. Molded fiberglass body type TTs often sell 5 years down the road for the same amount as what was paid originally because of their superior body integrity. No seams to leak or come apart (although windows, doors, and interior plumbing can still leak). Scamp, Casita, Bigfoot, Oliver, Parkliner, and Lil Snoozy are most of the brands, and all sold factory direct only.
Among the more conventional bodies, I do read plenty of good things about Lance and Arctic Fox/Nash. Most of the other brands are tacked together as quickly and cheaply as possible... but they can sure look pretty on the inside.
