We have owned 2 pop ups and 4 travel trailers. 2 were new,the rest were used. We saved a lot of money buying used. Over time we had to make some repairs like replacing the awning or water heater.But in the long run,used worked out for us. I agree that many dealers will take their time fixing warranty issues. We bought a new trailer in 2015 that had 2 small warranty issues.it was a 100 mile round trip to the dealer so i fixed them myself. We sold our 2003 Sunline in 2014. We paid $9,000 used and sold it for $3,000 11 years later. It had a new toilet,new water heater and new awning material. That was a great deal for the buyer.If you buy used,make sure you check for any evidence of roof leaks. That can be a no no. But most other things are easy fixes and the money you save by buying used can easily pay for any repairs you may need to make down the road.
