OP I don’t believe the resale is generally better with one or the other.
To Lantleys point I could say the opposite and say there are sooo many TTs vs THs that the used market is softer or more diluted. But that’s not really the case either.
If anything, a TH may have a greater audience considering one. Can’t use a TT as a TH but CAN use a TH as a TT.
You didn’t ask for opinions on which is “better” , but I’ll share my thoughts. I was after THs only. Have toys to put in it but may not ever even do that. The advantages to me:
Heavy tongue weight, light in the rear (no toys). = pulls arrow straight and less tail wag due to further aft axle placement and open space in the rear. No wdh or sway even remotely needed (with the right truck).
Open space inside. More room more furniture and sleeping options and open concept
Ability to drop the ramp, use as a deck and have the camper “open” to the outdoors with the canvas/screen door on the back.
Copious room to bring whatever is wanted or needed. If I wanna get kayaks, they just slide in and shut the door.
Built in generator (wasn’t a must for us but handy and helps with resale) runs on gasoline from a 30gal on board gas tank. No propane sucking lower output generator.
CCC is huge compared to most/all TTs. May not use it,but the initial benefit is a chassis and axles/wheels that are comparatively heavier duty than the same size TT. 16” wheels standard on a 31’ long unit. TTs this size are all 15” wheels and lighter axles and frames.
