Factory Refubished RV on eBay Wonder what was fixed?

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 listing

Would anyone seriously consider purchasing this 5th wheel if you were not in the area to check it out?
  • Just think how many people have posted on here about their problem prone RV, saying the factory should take it back, etc.

    Apparently this is one of them?? Refurbished, I wouldn't buy it.
  • If you were thinking about making an offer on this I would go to the Crossroads owners forum first and do some reading in the Rushmore section. It may change your mind.
  • Unfortunately, appears those Rushmmore line of 5th wheels are problem prone.

    I've seen new units listed in the $40 something grand range, as it appears dealers are just trying to unload them.
  • 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.

    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.......


    I did message them asking politely what was refurbished. 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!
