Did you forget Alberta and B.C?
Your dollar is worth 25% more in Canada, and you wouldn't have to travel so far. Also, many used trailers have been winter hardened for Canadian weather.
Good luck on your search!

Holding tank
It's not just the lines that act as a holding tank. The black water tank under the toilet will fill up with sink water if you open the valve. Of course you have to ensure the cap is on tight. 😵
