A 15 year old camper can be anywhere between pristine (always under a roof when not in use, not used extensively, well taken care of) and ... junk that is not worth restoring ( all the opposite of the before listed).
Six Pac were not famous for their superior quality. The are/were more of an entry level brand. There is nothing wrong with that.
Just beware. The price is any number that the camper is worth to you.
If you do not know what to look for, even serious water damage can be hard to spot, and even the seller is not necessarily aware of the state of his camper.
Read through some of the restauration topics in the truck camper university sticky.
I looked for water stains in all of the areas I could get to. Opened up all of the cabinet doors and looked at the corners. I did not walk on the roof but looked at all the vents from the inside. It does not have an air-conditioner so that area was not hidden.
I'm in Southern California. The camper was made in California. So there is a good chance the camper has spent most of it's life in California. Not counting this last season we don't get much rain. I did notice the roof should have fresh sealant on the edges. Looked at all the openings and windows and nothing looked horrible.
Can't find any comparable campers in my area. I see some in Midwest that go for half the price.
The weight and COG was why I was interested with the Six-Pac.
Need to think some more about this.
Thanks for the tips.
