My wife and I are a couple months away from buying a used 5th wheel, maybe 2 years old max.

Question: If we find a 2 year old trailer we like at a dealership, and say the asking price is $70,000.00 - what should we beable to buy it for?

Any opinions appreciated

Thanks

Ha Ha Ha... I knew it, I knew it... even a subject with infinite variables has an "average".

We are looking at a Mobile Suites 36'TKSB3

That is a pretty vague question, to many variables. Depends on the make and model, condition of the rig, and how long it has been on the dealers lot.
On edit, now that you posted "some" of the info needed, the year would be fairly important.

Look on "RVsearch.com" or "rvtrader.com"
These can give you a lot of information and availability.
