Wow a couple pretty low standards. Why restore something with mold and rot (original post) which has been run hard and put away wet, missing parts when you can buy something for slightly more that has all the parts and isn't a health hazard.
Who says that everyone must have YOUR "high Standards"?
Just because you are not able to envision someone elses vision does not mean that they have low standards.
I most likely have higher standards than you since I cannot find ANY off the shelf cookie cutter RV that suits my tastes and life style..
SO, I bought a nearly 30 yr old TT for $700, with all that ROT, then gutted inside and out..
Then rebuilt it to the layout that I wanted and used BETTER material than even the highest high end $100K plus RVs will ever use..
Sure, I put $3K-$4K into it and a lot of hrs of my labor, but it WILL be the LAST RV I ever will need to buy and it didn't cost me $100K or even a bank loan for 20 yrs in interest..
Not to mention I know EVERY INCH and EVERY detail from plumbing, wiring, fit and finish.
For the OP, my TT the seller was asking $800 and I offered $700, the seller took my offer..
$1K is high, I would offer $500-$600 and see if they are willing to deal..
Around here, frames with GOOD CLEAR titles sell for about $400-$500 and you will have doors, windows and any working appliances that you can sell off if you don't want them..
In reality, if you have the time you can buy it cheap enough, sell off unneeded items and turn a bit of profit plus have whatever you need for your project..
