There are three things to consider when purchasing a TT. In no particular order;
• Floorplan
• Tow Vehicle
• Cost
In your case with a used TT I would add a fourth item Condition. Make sure it does not leak!!
If your DH is handy most other problems can be repaired or lived with.
Matching the TT and max cargo capacity of your TV may be an issue, but you indicate you are going to only haul it a short distance. You have some wiggle room there.
The DW and I were in a quandary about TT type and size we wanted, so we went to a dealer and rented the unit we thought we would like. It was a two years old unit.
Renting showed us the size we wanted was fine, the floor plan was not right and our TV was underpowered. Rent was not cheap about $100.00/day but it did give us a far better understanding of what we were getting involved in; before we spent several thousand dollars.
The dealer we rented from was in Coloma Michigan.
