When I was looking for my first TT I wanted to buy 'new'.
That said, after just one day of looking at the new I decided to buy 'used'.
I opened the door of the first new TT and almost ended up in the hospital from the smell of formaldehyde.
Thought well maybe its just that brand. So off to another dealer lot.
I opened the door of that one and the SAME overpowering smell. BTW I found Forest River Surveyor to be the absolute worst one.
That is all it took to decide to buy used. I was not going to be the one on a respirator for 2 years waiting for the smell to dissipate and/or my friends kids to have brain and lung damage!
And truth be told I changed my plans and bought a MH. No smell of formaldehyde in those. Just saying. :B
