buying 34ft trailer

So I finally have a lead on my dream trailer and I am wondering about the benefits/liabilities of this trailer. I think the price is right. It is a one owner 1992 excella 1000.
I have had a quick visual inspection and it is currently being checked out by a friend. I didn't think I would have these second thoughts but I am not sure now whether I should sell our 31ft AS and buy this one, what with fuel prices continuing to rise. Any idea on comparison costs between owning and travelling with these two trailers. Does it cost substantially more to tow the 34fter? My 77 31ft is in good shape but its also 30 yrs old. I know I will always have things to repair and replace. Like, I just did the axles on it this year. So how long would it be before I will have to do this to a 1992?
I like the idea of owning a trailer half this age but I am also attached to the old one. I don't think my wife is going to let me keep both of them, which is what I really want to do. Anyone have experience owning both? Any thoughts?
