You can find nice, working trailers for $3k-5k, but they are NOT easy to find. If it has a leaking roof, window, seam, light, ac unit, the wood rots and the unit is basically junk. Think about what you get for a car that you can buy used for 20% of the new MSRP... its a gamble.
Concider renting, using hotels, renting a cabin.
Saying that a trailer is junk because it might have some soft wood somewhere is like saying your used car example is junk because it has rust around the wheel wells or rockers. That's a gross exaggeration. Many, many people have trailers that had leaks, got some soft spots, fixed the leak and continued to happily use the camper for years to come.
Given the economy, there are lots of good used trailers on the market in that price range. It's a disservice to the op to try to scare them out of at least looking for something they like. It seems quite apparent they have assessed their personal situation and want to buy a trailer.
