Remember, you can buy a big used, very good condition camper similar to yours for $10-15k.
Factor that into how much you spend on a repair that should never need to be a repair in the first place. IE, even repaired, anyone looking for a camper like that would not pay anywhere near market value for it.
This isn’t like you’re replacing the appliances. Structurally, it’s broken and unless you can do the repairs yourself, the cost will likely outweigh the benefit.
Hi Grit Dog,
So I'm currently in that space. I'm tempted to shop for a newer one and then put my baby in a place I can tear it apart and attempt the repair myself. Some of these rebuilds are above $20k or more. Also, I look at the complete rebuilds and I see a lot of work that didn't necessarily need to be done. I dont see the need to rebuild / restore it. Thanks for your post...!
