Campers 101

Yeah, I thought so too. Im going to go look at it on Saturday and they said everything will be able to be tested (water, pipes, oven, etc).

Nevermind. She sold it from under me. I offered to come up last night and she said to wait until Saturday and would let me know if someone else became interested in the meantime. Emailed me today "It sold last night". UGH. I hate people.

Going to look at that guy next week when he's back from vacation. Has some hail damage (only cosmetic per seller) and had a little leak in the roof when a skylight was broken out. He said it's a small spot and doesnt leak anymore. He replaced all vents/skylights. Dual propane tanks that were just certified and filled. He made a small deal about the certification but I dont know why? Is it that hard? If it doesn't leak any longer, would that small spot be concerning? I plan on feeling around every window/vent/skylight for squishy. The hail doesn't bother me too much since it's a camper, not a show queen.

If it all checks out as he said, seem fair? Would I be better off waiting until December/January? I heard campers are cheaper around then.

Seems pretty high priced for being almost 20 years old and has hail damage. I'm thinking like $3k tops with all the history. Not to mention it really isn't camping season any more, and it will be stored for the next 5-6 months.

propane certification is I think 10 years and then a shorter duration after that. Some places will fill them either way.

That is a lot high. Yes it is 2' longer than mine but it is 5 years older and Jayco's are OK for quality. It is going to need an awning as well and looks to have had some repair work done. Almost the same layout as mine but $3500 tops. Inspect the roof very carefully.
