My opinion and experience. Since you are so handy to be able to do repairs on vehicles, I would sure buy used. I too considered renting because we already had a horse trailer with a living quarters, we used to show so we did some camping. My husband said we didn't need a MH, my dogs & I thought otherwise. While I was like you researching I found one for $60,000 I really liked. Then on craigslist one day I saw one I actually knew the owner listed for 1/2 as much. It wasn't as pretty and fancy but I knew where it had been and the truck was exactly the same as the $$$ one with less miles. We bought it and have had more fun fixing up the inside nothing that cost a lot new backsplashes and just personalization. Best thing is we have no payments, I love it. The husband that said we didn't need one uses it more than me. Also if I took the grandkids ATV riding in a brand new one I would be a mean granny makes for much less stress camping IMO.
I still MH shop (It was fun) and I bought over a year ago, I'm still thrilled with what we got. Would love it to be newer but insurance would just cost more, everything is a trade off. I have 2 slides and sure appreciate them when we take grandkids... they bring friends.
Also didn't rent because it was $4,000 per week, hated to throw that $$ away, and I'm a germ freak and that is the reason for MH.
