While I am a cheap person and not against buying used, I will also say I have nothing against brand new and would not shy away from it.
I have a relative who bought recently, for their first TT, a brand new Micro-Lite TT that is almost exactly what the OP described -- and it was right about $10K, not much over.
I also know there are often better deals on new than used. The MFR's and dealer WANT to get them sold.
BY the same token, good RV dealers do offer warranties on used stuff. 4 or 5 years back, my siblings and I all threw in together to buy a $3K 10YO pop-up for our assorted young adult kids / nephews / nieces to use to come camping with us. The daeler fixed mechanical items no questions asked, under their used-sale warranty. The downside was - it was 10YO, and plastic body / trim items that where deteriorating where Not covered in the warranty and parts where NLA from the MFR. It got used for just 2 years before it began leaking water in through those cracks again (after a ton of work to attempt to seal it up when they first appeared) and we had to nearly give it away before it turned into a junk pile.
