We're new RVers. I'm in my third pull trailer since June 2012. First two were used and pretty nice but smaller. Finally bought new Skyline Koala 26ss to fit our needs. First two trailers didn't quite make us happy to stay in for a week or more. We bought new because we couldn't find a used one like we wanted that we could haul with a half ton Silverado. Plus the dealership is 15 minutes away and the factory is only an hour and half from home. So long story short, I wouldn't want to buy new unless the dealership was really close by.
