Unfortunately, many young owners are financing the max with little to no down payment. Travel trailers are notorious for losing their value very quickly and the new owner may be upside down in the first two years.
This is exactly why I would never buy a new TM, unless you get an _extraordinary_ deal -- they're simply too expensive, and drop in value too quickly from their high to justify a new purchase.

Conversely, I would be sad if no one had bought my '09 new -- I'd not have had to opportunity to get it so blastedly cheap (used) otherwise. Same with my Expy -- I bought it for 1/4 of it's original sticker price with low mileage -- can't beat that...

Someone's gotta buy new - I just don't want to be the one who does.
