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.
Finding a good TT in that price range really isn't that hard, it just takes some looking. Best value will be from a private party but a reputable dealer might know more about the true condition of the unit.
As for cars, a used car is only as good as it's last owner. Once I got over the "it has to be new to be any good" part of my life I learned that what you pay has little to do with the quality.
And also, if you find one you really like, Camping World and several other dealers offer a multi-point inspection. You can have it checked out by a professional before you buy.
