To the OP ...
Whether one buys new or used everyone one of us is potentially in for a world of hurt if we assume that just because the trailer may have a "warranty" or "guarantee" of one sort or another that all will be taken care of. Reality is, it just doesn't work that way and your first line of defense against unexpected issues with your trailer is your own personal effort in understanding as much as you can about how the various systems work and the willingness to do as much of the maintenance / repair yourself. You're kidding yourself if you believe otherwise so as a self declared newbie I'd agree with others who say your plan to fully finance this little adventure is a really BAD idea. RVs are called recreational vehicles for a reason and generally aren't intended as a year round substitute for sticks 'n bricks accommodation, be it a house, or apartment, or whatever. Obviously you can do what you want but your plan isn't something I would recommend to anybody I know. :(
