We were in the same boat back in 2014. We looked for several months and nothing came up anywhere that met our desired criteria. We ended up with exactly what we wanted by ordering from the factory. It was more than we wanted to spend at the time but we haven't had to do any major mods or repairs.

For less money you will likely get less options. If you plan to add options or do mods that will increase the amount you've spent. If you don't do the mods yourself the cost can be substantial.

What is the old saying "buy once, cry once"?

But good luck with your search. You just may get lucky.

Thanks for the insight, I know it’s a tough budget to work with.
So far I’ve seen a few that were close to what we want. The 3 we have seen are either too expensive (10-20% over budget) or did not have all the features we want. I know that perfect trailer is out there, we will keep looking! The prices of new ones are pretty crazy these days, I can’t imagine buying new- we will be paying cash and that’s a lot of $$ out the door!
