Most trailer over 15 years old are going to have some issues. At 15 years age most will only have 10 years use left in them unless you spend a little keeping them in good condition. While a vintage is nice ongoing repairs can make them a costly option to own. I wanted one but opted for a good used one instead that had more room and modern amenities' .
When I see a camper or motorhome my first thought is "I wonder where that one leaks?"
ReplyDeleteGood advice.

Good one Moe! :-)
DeleteMoe a lot o them do mainly because they need washed yearly and the seams checked.Plus caulked every few years on roof seams and vents.
DeleteAll good points and to add to them, never by a 10+ year old motor home. They are a can of worms. A good trailer towed by your everyday truck is the best combo.
ReplyDeleteIs that your new camper Gary?
ReplyDeleteYep it is. I agree motor homes are tricky. I like pull trailers if one has a problem the truck still works or vise=versa.
DeleteMotor homes and I've had a few, you never know what's not going to work because months can go by before it's used again and surprise, for no reason at all the trans goes.
DeleteYour everyday truck you know if something is about to go bad and you can fix it before it leaves you stranded. Trucks and trailers are the best way to go in my experienced opinion.
Gary, what size is the camper and what's the layout? Rear bath and front bed??? or?
ReplyDeleteMike its a 23 foot with front queen bed and rear bath but no slide out :(. Its a lite weight only 3200Lbs. It has so much storage even my wife is happy. We got it in 2014 it is a 2006 model we gave 5500 . I think the last trip put us at 97 days camped in 24 months in it.
