1987 Holiday Rambler Aluma Lite

I want to thank all for the input. We will be taking a look this weekend and have some ideas of what to look for,

Yes, I think mine weighed around 7000lbs. It was a low trailer, but good towing. I got good gas mileage with it because of that.

We had a 1986. It was a quality trailer. Many great trips with it.

My biggest complaint was the suspension. It was very low to the ground, and I personally believe HR matches axles too close to their maximum weight. On the recommendation of a very reputable spring shop I had a leaf added all around.

Underbelly was galvanized and rotted off. Had it replaced.

If they haven't already been replaced - expect appliance issues.

Even though it was an "alumalite" - its was a tank - have it weighed so you know what you are getting into TV wise.

I had a 1985 32' Alumalite XL 5th wheel that I bought new for $17,000. I kept it for 11 years. The roof was painted galvanized metal. Rubber roofs came later.
The trailer developed a number of leaks over the years, mostly around doors and windows. The roof held up well and never leaked.
Since the trailer is that old, the first thing I would do is replace all of the caulking and roof seals. Damage may already have occurred and been fixed on yours, but I'd definitely give that a thorough check since you're well beyond the life of that old caulking. I'd also give the brakes and bearings an extensive going over; replace rusty springs, grease the bearings, check the tires, etc. Aside from that, as long as all of the appliances work, you're good to go.
