One source of pricing is NADAGuides.com. Be aware that this site is NOT a holy grail, but more of an indicator. Prices vary, depending on condition (of course) and installed options. Prices can also vary depending on location, with west coast being higher than east coast. Since you did not give us a location, I entered something from the central midwest, and the indication is that the asking price is quite good. By the way, when using NADAGuides, they ask you to indicate which options your trailer has. Then they give you a dog's dinner of possibilities, almost none of which are actual options on a TM, and therefore should not be selected. On a TM, about the only options that have any effect on price are the air conditioner and the awning.
As Larry said, there is no hydraulic system on a TM. (The term sounds like it is describing a HiLo trailer, which has only superficial similarity to a TM.) The TM shells are "spring loaded" - the "springs" are actually torsion bars, which are used by a few cars instead of coil springs or leaf springs. They work well, and the nice thing about torsion bars is that the amount of lift they provide can be adjusted, as Larry describes in his article.
The market for RVs is very hot right now. Don't be too leisurely about making a decision.
