Need help buying a travel trailer

[SamRoc]

We live in NJ and spent the day looking for something about 20'. Looked at a few dealers in lakewood today. they were all around $10,000 for a 4-6 year old trailer. We liked the passport ultralite. Does anyone have an idea where else we could like here in Jersey. Don't want anything affected by hurricane sandy so we're kind of afraid to look on craigslist.

Have you checked the RV Trader publication (it can be accessed online). Unfortunatley with any trailer water leakage can be an issue even if it has not been through a hurricane. An RV that spends the winter in the north also has the additional issue of ice and snow on the roof (water gets in any crack and when it freezes and expands, bigger leak). At least when you buy a used unit from a dealer you get their warranty. We have stored our TT under a roof in NH. Too bad you live so far away, it's a beautiful Kodiak 20FL ultralight, used 4 times, mint condition. We are going to list it as soon as we return to NH in May with our new motorhome.
