Does anyone have any experience with purchasing a used travel trailer?
I have been to a few dealers now and have seen some interesting things on kijiji. Can anyone recommend which is the better path to take? Are dealers over priced? Brands to avoid? All info is good info to me at this point.
I'm looking for something under 15k with jack/Jill bunks and a queen. This will be my first travel trailer and I'm intrigued to see how much we will actually use the thing.
Needless to say if anyone has anything let me know!
Thanks in advance

Let me use this post to add a little about the buying new process. It's a big fat pain, going back and forth to the dealerships that are too busy to service everything they sell- with that said i'd do it again because I'm the type of guy that will do my due diligence to get everything working while it's under warranty (even though at times I felt like saying screw it). Really your best bet is to buy a 2 year old trailer off someone who has done all the warranty work, kept up the maintenance, kept the unit clean, and added improvements to it. My two year old trailer is way better then when it was brand new, because these trailers get shipped to the dealer with defects that you have to work out.
The problem is, if I put my buyers hat on, it's hard to know for sure someone did that work. Actually as I type this I think that might be a key to find a good used unit, see the type of improvements that have been done to it, even little things like an upgraded shower head show you the owner paid attention to the thing.
