Coshoo makes a good point, keep it stored inside will greatly lengthen it's life. Ours is a smooth side tandem hybrid..both ends will open up like a tent trailer. It is almost 20 years old and has likely around 30000 miles on it. I did some repair to the floor area due to a leaking window, but the roof is still good. It has started to delaminate, so I put some bolts through the side in a non conspicuous area with a large flat washer....not pretty but it will keep the sides in place. Get a tandem axle if your vehicle will tow that size and get an air conditioner.
Having travelled extensively with it, there are still pros and cons, and Bruce does bring up some valid pionts regarding costs. You do have a bit more freedom with the trailer since booking hotel rooms ahead of time to assure availability does tie you into a schedule. If travelling with more than two (We had as many as two adults and 6 kids in ours on holidays) then the trailer does have the advantage. Getting AAA coverage for those long trips can also be a good idea...one fellow we met in the Yukon said it cost him 20 hours down time plus a thousand dollars to have his trailer towed in for repairs since he was far from any repair shop.
Look used ones over good, any leak will have progressed to the floor, so check out those areas where the sides meet the floor for soft spots.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
