Greg,
Sorry to hear of your issues, but I have some direct experience with the '05 for 10 years.
It was a solid trailer, and I got $27900 on a trade-in--so the price on the one you are considering seems very good.
I pulled mine with an '08 450 and it was a load for it, even tho it was rated for much more. The '95 will not do the job, either pulling or hauling the weight on the rear axle.
My '05 was rated at 16000 GVWR and weighted 15085 as built--there was a label inside one of the cabinet doors above the stovetop. For most of its life, my TK3 weighed around 17-17500 as used. They are very heavy units, very heavy for the size.
If you get it, I will help any way I can with what I know about it.

By the way, my TK3 made it to Alaska and back--twice

And, welcome to the forum.
