We went for new. I started researching used trailers and a) couldn't find a floor plan that inspired me and b) there wasn't a significant difference (IMO) in the prices unless you went with trailers that were 6 or more years old. Looking through the forums at the problems people were having with trailers, new and old, I decided to go new and see what turned up. Also, at some point, Keystone switched over from wooden wall frames to aluminum wall frames. That struck a chord with me for a) weight saving, and b) rot resistance.
Another question to ask yourself is: Metal outside walls or Filon? Personally, I prefer the Filon. When I looked at all those individual silicone joints at the corners of the trailers with corrugated metal sides, all I could see was the potential for leaks.
