Is this delamination? Something else?

I've been looking for a solid trailer to put in my backyard for a family member who is handicapped and wants her own place. Our rents here are sky high and she's on disability so renting a studio apartment is hopeless.

I found this trailer on Craigslist, but just noticed one photo showing what looks to me like delamination..not sure. I'm going to look at it tomorrow, but if water damage, I won't waste my time. Thoughts on this?

Look at photo on bottom row, right side, third to the left.

    I have a lot less delamination and a dealer said he too off $4000! So ask for at least that much off or run.

    Looks like the filon came loose from the cross supports. May be from water intrusion, might not.
    Take a moisture meter and test all over the front. If wet, then leave it. If not, you can either fix it or leave it be.
    Seems like a high price for an 8 year old trailer with a wrinkled front cap.

    Thanks to all you posters. I've decided to keep looking as there are plenty of trailers out there that exhibit no damage. Much appreciated

    Yes, there it is clearly visible that this is a delamination. Do not waste your time. For a goal like yours you need to find the best option! Good luck
