After a very thorough going over I went ahead and bought it. Drove a very good bargain I thought, after picking it apart and listing all the additional things I found beyond the sale ad disclosures. Nothing major, just lots of little things that come with 10 years of UV on the outside and a few mechanical items that can be fixed by myself.
The major cosmetic thing right now is it needs a new set of fender skirts. I see that there is one major clearing house for them (Icon) and also Sierra RV parts, but I am guessing they are a re-seller for Icon, same stuff.
Not cheap, but I built that assumption into the sale price. The previous ones were torn apart by tire blowouts. I wish they made the skirts in aluminum instead of plastic and fiberglass. I'm not a very good sheet metal guy otherwise I'd consider taking that on.
The thing tows very well. Has the same stabilized hitch that my toy hauler did, with the two chain bars and the sway damper. 2ft less height so better mileage. sailed right up the pass from sea level to 4500 feet where I live with no handling problems.
