My thoughts are since you are new to this....if it is in the budget, buy new! Yes you may lose money bringing it off the lot but people do with vehicles also. I would really look around for one that suits you and from experience go a little bigger rather than smaller.
If you are not familiar with fixing things yourself on the unit you could be in for a lot of $$$
repairs. You don't know what you are getting with a used unit. The salesman may not know or disclose issues.
As suggested, it might be better to get your TV first Then you can figure out exactly what you can tow. With 3 small children you are going to have "stuff. Your payload will add up quickly.
You will get lots of different opinions, listen to them all and then do what you feel is best for your family.
