If you been around RV's for a few years you're bound to hear horror stories around both new and used purchases. I have been very lucky with both my used trailer purchases. In both cases I spent money either fixing or changing things to bring them up to specs I would be happy and comfortable with. The primary reason I bought used was price. You always take a risk buying a used trailer just as you take a risk buying a used car or truck. Be prepared to spend money above the purchase price. On the bright side, many trailers have been rarely used with few towed miles. Do your homework and trust your gut. Good luck.
