What about haulability? Should I get my mechanic to take a look underneath?

So many variables with a question like this.
A. What kind of tow vehicle do you have/plan to use
B. What kind of camping are you going to do with it. Long summer vacation trips or mainly weekend getaways.
C. If you are looking for an end of season deal, then I would assume you are thinking of buying new, not used.
My take on this is as a minimum...
-avoid aluminum sided models, it hails here every year. If you want to have a pock marked trailer or dont mind dealing with the hassle of insurance claims and siding replacement, then go ahead with aluminum.
-Having a bathroom is a no brainer.
Really you need to figure out a lot of basics like I listed above first, then maybe we could help you narrow down some of the other items/questions.
