The lower curbside skins look pretty wavy. I like the sunset though.

A tougher question would be what did they do right.
I'll start with a few obvious things wrong... They gutted it and worked from the inside. They removed cabinets that hold it together. They covered the rotten ceiling instead of repairing it. They painted the interior to hide rot. They couldn't reach the rotten sill along the bottom (sides) from the inside and the camper is collapsing in slow motion.
With that said, for $400 with a title I'd buy it if it was local.

What a mess! And a sag in the front to boot...

What a bunch of spoiled sports! Can’t you see that the window trim matches the folding chair? It doesn’t look like they painted the inside, it looks like they covered the rotted mess that was inevitably there with 1/4 inch drywall. And they put planks on the ceiling? I hope nobody gets hurt when this abomination dissembles on the highway. Of course it’s “very light and easy to tow,” it’s missing all the parts that hold it together!
And nccamper, $400 might be an ok price if you could get it before the sagging all around the bottom ruins the skin beyond repair.

I kinda like the TJ Max end table Your humor is much appreciated. I laughed. The really sad part is that this will go to some unsuspecting person who has a dream to have one of these old vintage trailers and the trailer will continue to cascade into a mound of broken detritus. I can only hope that it falls apart in their driveway and not implode while towing. (sigh) Rod |
