Good deal, what to look for?
Looking at getting into TC with the family on a budget.
My truck is a F-250 4 Door Crew Cab, 6.0, SRW, short bed, 2WD.
I usually tow a flat bed 16ft dual axle trailer with a Manx dune buggy on it. Don't know the weight of the trailer and buggy combo, guessing the buggy is between 1.5-2.0K and pretty light trailer. I push it around all the time.
We usually camp in a tent and thinkng about swtiching to a TC for a little more comfort.
Couple questions:
TC questions- Found this Sunlite TC and wanted inputs on what to look for. Soft spots on roof, floor, ect. I talked to the owner and he said its a 1999 and doesn't know the model number. He's had it for little over a year and just doesn't use it and pays for storage. He also said the heater doesn't work. Link to add below.

Thoughts on the PRICE?
Truck Quesitons- Owner siad he thinks the TC weights about 1500. TC is built for a long bed. Any problems with putting the TC in a short bed. Also, where do I find where the COG for my truck is supposed to be. I've looked in the glove box, no luck.
Also, I assume I'll need a hitch extender to tow the training. What are the possible problems with this setup?
Thanks in advance for any insites. Trying to do some homeowrk before jumping in.
