I'm looking at purchasing a used travel trailer in the next few months. Nothing fancy, just something that will sleep 5-6 people, has an AC/Heat, fridge, stove, etc..and pullable by my Ram 1500 HEMI. Any advice on what i should look for in a used unit? Things or brands to avoid? I'm looking at around $10,000 or less and i've seen plenty of nice looking ones for that price.
Any help is appreciated.

The biggest thing is pay real close attention to water damage water leaks kill travel trailers.

Make sure your fresh water and sewage tanks do not leak also

Check the floors under the water tank, shower and toilet for staining or soft spots as well as the other places listed.

Anything you find can be fixed with time, money, and complete disregard to aesthetics.
