Kinda getting the itch for another MH only this time with a walk around or at least half walk around bed.
Have been to a few RV places even the local CW and looked at a few.
It amazes me how thrashed a 2 - 3 year old MH can get.
These people buy these overpriced heaps for big bucks, trash them then ??? I don't know loose them or just don't care trade it in and get another one to trash? Have more money then brains???
Not sure how many of these RV dealers get MHs from auctions ? But I'm willing to bet a cold one its a large part of their inventories !
Every single used one we looked at , just doing a quick walk around and walk through I could make Snowman's list look like about a 3 beer afternoon.
I guess the RV outfits figure let the buyer find out what's wrong with it and needs fixed then they will negotiate up the price from there and gambling people miss a lot of stuff ! Kinda like how the ol used car lots do...
I've only bought two MH's both used and several years old.
Right off the bat I cleaned them from top to bottom found out real quick what needed repaired ,adjusted or replaced. Then replaced tires, shocks, full service all fluids, filters,belt and hoses.
Then did a full strip wash (heavy on the Dawn Soap) , buff and polish then wax job.
First one was 12 years old drove it to Washington DC and back Not one bit of problems. Sold it made $4,500.
Bought the second one,it was 9 years old, did the same to it as the first one.
We drove to Florida and back , once again Not one bit of problems with it.
Like Steve ( Desert Captain ) said normal maintenance loose screws here and there is all I have really ever had to deal with..
