I'll presume someone will tow the pup with something. What might that something be? 94 Subaru? 02 Chevy 1500 truck? 2010 CRV? They make some pretty large and heavy pups the last few years.

Just look for leaks around the corners and under the bunk end mattresses and be sure the lift systems along with all the other systems and appliances work correctly. Look the running gear over and especially the tires.

When purchasing ANY used RV the most important thing is it's CURRENT condition. I did exactly what you're talking about, purchased a small light weight PUP for friends and family to use when camping with us and some other times. I found a Jayco Eagle that was about 6 years old when I purchased it and it's been a way to keep myself busy on many weekends trying to keep it in condition to be used. I shopped based on price NOT based on condition and I"ve been very unhappy with the overall quality of the unit but that's MY fault and the fault of the previous owners. In spite of that it has brought many happy hours to our group.
Good luck / Skip

Tent trailers are pretty simple,the only thing that's pain is doing cables on the lift with the new style, even on the old ones that was easy.

But the roof that's where the grief comes. Avoid ones with a seam. Or any water marking on the paneling behind the curtains. The problem is the new ones have plastic so you can't tell. Check the axel,you will see the bend at the wheels,most people overload them. I know we did. Flip the sink box down,make sure it's a hose all the way to the outside drain. It may not drain ,but at least it won't flood your drawer.

My grown kids are now traveling to those same spots we got that old trailer into.
