Differences to consider with the 30' wide body

I am planning to buy a 30'. Looking at a 94 30' Excella tomorrow. Just noticed an ad in the AS classifieds for a 96 30' wide body. How much more weight does that add and what are the advantages/disadvantates of each.

Here is a list of trailer weights.

The '94 shows a weight of 6540lbs and the '96 is 6855lbs.

The '96 starts the widebody and they are know for headliner dropping and clearcoat peeling. I'm not sure about the '94's.

Difference

Thanks for the information. The weight attachment is extremely helpful. Also, any advice would be appreciated as I am a novice and this will be my first trailer. We have pretty much decided on a 30'. Went to my first rally today and gathered some great info. Someone said to avoid some one the models beyond mid 80's because they had the holding tanks in the rear under a rear bath and it had caused some problems. Do you know anything on that subject?
