This has been my experience in shopping not only travel trailer, but also equipment trailers and horse trailers. Not uncommon for late model trailers to be selling for close to new prices, and still may have to buy tires and/or have wiring or brakes issues. There goes whatever savings you had hoped for by purchasing used.
So I buy new.

Wife and I decided to buy new because we could pick the specific floor plan we liked , at lower loan interest rate and I know what's going on with TT. From bumper to bumper from day one.
