We spent the evening just enjoying our "new to us" motorhome with plans to deliver the check in the morning. Being excited we sat up late and explored every cabinet and gadget. Just before we went to bed, I noticed that there were extra strips of trim down the driver's side of the vehicle. Upon inspection, I realized that someone had tried to stabilize the whole wall with firring (sp?) strips on the inside behind the sofabed attached to extra strips on the outside that ran from the driver's seat to the kitchen area because of water damage--about 15 feet. For me the deal was over. I still feel bad about backing out because he was angry, but I just wish he had pointed that out when he showed us everything else. What do you think?
"What do you think"? That was the OP's question.
I think you gave your word....after inspecting and reviewing the motorhome...you had the seller drive and park the MH at your home....you took possession....you had buyer's remorse.....you broke your word.
It happens all the time. I wouldn't do it if I had given my word, but you do what works for you. You at least owe the seller some gas, and one nights rental of his RV, and a few bucks for his time.
