Going to the Syracuse NY RV show next week PLEASE READ

Flooding of parking lot where RV's are stored before the show

  • So I guess we should never tow in the rain? Seals and caps keep water out of bearings, and water runs out the bottom of brake drums.
    The water could have been higher before first light so I do agree check those puppies over good if you're buying one.
  • Pssst....That's not rain, that's a Kansas sprinkle. No damage there, didn't even get to the bottom of the floor.
  • Could be water in the wheel bearings and brakes so MAYBE you want to negotiate that before you take delivery.
    Also you may want to look for leaks and realize what happened. They used to store the RV's in a HIGH and dry lot that was at least 35 feet higher than where they stored them this year.
  • Some of you can poo-poo the OP but I appreciate the info. Anyone thinking of buying an RV at the show needs to look it over real good.
    Maybe some of you naysayers might want to go a buy one sight unseen ?

    The worst I saw was a TT with water just below the belly. All the 5er were high and dry.

  • "Yes siree...we have a Show Special. All the rigs have been thoroughly washed top to bottom at no extra fee. Guaranteed to be spic-n-span inside and out"
  • Don't tell me they will "sell" all those "flood damaged rv's" on the open market? :S
