While just casual surfing I came across this 5th wheel for sale on eBay.It states it has been Factory Refurbished but not what was corrected or the reason it was refurbished. Wonder what the issue was? I also don't think the seller is a RV Dealer either which makes it even more dangerous in my mind.5th Wheel for sale listingWould anyone seriously consider purchasing this 5th wheel if you were not in the area to check it out?

just ask what was done. For $54k i'd want to know

My guess? Leaks. They are stating that it is leak free. For a lot less than $55,000 I would make the assumption that any rig is "leak free". :) Email them and see what they say.......

No response as of yet but it has only been a little over an hour or so.

No response as of yet but it has only been a little over an hour or so.I haven't shopped in that price range yet, maybe after we are more convinced of our rv commitment but, is it a good price? It's a beauty with 4 slides and all!

OP here,I just got a response back and I'm posting it here. It was sent in to repair/replace some interior trim, fix shelf behind bedroom TV, and replace a slide-out motor that failed. The entire slide-out motor assembly has been completely replaced on both ends of the affected slideout. To err on the side of caution, the entire unit was sent in to ensure that this problem would not happen with any of the other slideouts and do a complete refurbishment since the owner wanted to sell it. In an effort to be transparent and honest, the owner wanted the factory to certify that this unit has been fully inspected, tested, and cleaned for the next owner.I'm researching the make and prices around my area on this unit to see how it compares but still not real sure about this. I did respond asking if they were a RV dealer or just selling for owners and I will let you know what the answer is there.

Good idea to walk away from it. I believe at one time they suspended manufacturing these because they were having so many problems..

OP here,

I did ask if they were a dealer or not and they are not a dealer. Just selling on behalf of the owners. No financing available and no place to connect to checkout and verify systems.

My position No deal

Only place I knew that refurbished old fifth wheels was NUWA. But not positive of that.

I think I'd give it a pass. It says it was sent down to the factory at the owner's expense. So the factory did not take it back, the owner is having it refurbished on his dime.

It sounds, to me, like he is desperate to get out from under it no matter what it takes.
