The RV market has gone loopy with high prices.


The wife and I have owned a couple of them.


They are indeed shit boxes sitting on a frame.


The biggest issue with them is they flex and seams leak. Sealants dry out and they leak. Once the inside walls get wet its all over. You are driving around with a moldy shit box.


If you buy used buy it opened and fully viewable.


Walk up to it slowly and smell as you get closer. Mustiness smells turn around and walk away.


Watch out for the tricks that private sellers and some dealers use to hide musty smelling trailers. Moth balls, oh we use them to keep mice out, air fresheners because we like the smell. ANY masking odor is a red flag.


ALL TRAILERS LEAK AT SOME POINT


If you buy new you need to inspect that trailer like you would inspect your Daughters first boyfriend. The seams around the vents, fans, and the roof line. Watch for rips, tears in the roof material. Keep a supply of Dicor sealants and tapes on hand, its the best.


We enjoy camping but never take the quality of the trailer for granted.
