Beginning of year my 5th wheel was broken into and vandalized. To me the RV was worth less than sending to salvage.
Wife and I had been discussing options in the year prior. Storage cost exceeded what we thought was its value.
There was 17 RV's broken into and vandalized in that one episode.
Insurance totaled 5th wheel. I was offered 19K more than what I thought it was worth. RV had been through several blizzards, multiple winters on the Northern Plains, plus a couple of Cat 2 and 3 Hurricanes.
Besides being drug from Florida to AZ or Texas to ND and IL as I followed work.
I did accept the offer from insurance and they picked it up.
Used those funds to buy a 1 year old TC from a gentlemen. He was asking what I received from insurance.
He was asking 10K less than what Dealers were showing online. His asking price was in line with KBB yellow book.
I feel like I won the lottery.
I am not sure when or if purchasing new will be like it was in 2007.
