Ruger is right on. Don't, and I repeat do not buy new. Trailors depreciate faster than most other recreational vehicles. I bought a
96, 27' Aljo for $6200. Yeah, it is a little old, but it has hardly ever been used. The same unit new would probably be 25k new. Heck, my kids sure can't tell the difference.
The best bet is to talk to RV owners, not salesmen. Experienced use is where you get the best info.
I like the pull behind, but I don't like the fact I can't take my boat. I am considering double pulling, but that length seems to be a bit too much.
Check Craigslist.org, rv trader online (thats where I bought mine) and ksl.com.
Make sure when you buy, check EVERYTHING. I got burned on my first trailor. I thought I was getting a great deal for $2000. After putting a $1000 more into it, I was glad to let it go for $1600[cool]
