I'll join in the chorus here.
I purchased a 2720SL that was located over 1,100 miles from where I lived. In my case, the owner was willing to take a number of digital pictures and e-mail them to me. I then spoke over the phone and he was very forthcoming about the condition of the trailer. In the end I trusted my instincts (over my wife's rather vigourous objections I might add) and it turned out very well.
Your situation is different of course in that you are working with a dealer; however, the dealer may be willing to put you in touch with the previous owners and you could get a reading from them.
Good luck. The biggest problem I have found with my TM is the overt couriosity the trailer seems to inspire. (I actually rather like the "ice-breaker" effect. :-)
