KZ Spree, 2007 opinions?

I guess im going learn how to adjust a slide out!!
bought it yesterday

we finally got down to see it, and it has an issue or two, related to the slideout.
they towed the trailer some distance without installing the locking bars and as a result the sldeout has dropped about 1/2 inch at the back(lengthwise to the trailer) which is apparent when its open.
otherwise the trailer is immaculate and in great condtion, very low mileage going by the suspension system, some tire wear, but lots left and they are 2 years old, probably 1000 mles on them
im not afraid to fix anything, I just need to understand how the slide works, the electric mechanism is obvious, but what supports the weight of the slideout when its open?, the tt floor? wall bottom plate? other? it goes in and out perfectly and on the exterior appears in good alignment

I have a 1993 model TT that I am still using. ( Not a K-Z though) If it has been well taken care of, looks good with no leakage etc, and it what you are looking for then I say go for it. But, it's your money.

I'm adding to the Canadian content here....

We have an 08 290BHS and have had no major issues. Minor annoying stuff, like the drawer glides already mentioned, and some cosmetic stuff where they obviously finished the interior on the cheap, but it has served us well for 10 years. No delam, but it spends over half each year indoors so perhaps that has helped.

K-Z is still located where they've always been in Shipshewana, Indiana.

Nope they where not! Indiana I think.

Generally speaking back then they where a very decent rig for the money.

Obviously water is the big enemy, but others have chimed in on that. Here’s a minor thing to check. We had a 2008 KZ Spree in which they used plastic brackets to support the drawer glides. They had a tendency to crack. I fixed leaks on ours in 4 different areas, so check it over carefully.

My '06 KZ Outdoorsman had the same. Not much to replace. Also had/have delamanation issues as well. For the most part a decent unit that has put up with a lot of ALL weather camping and survived. Will get to the wall issues when time permits. Not the end of the world like some would have you believe

thanks for the tips, im an experienced do it youself type of guy, replaced rotted flooring in two trailers!! suspension and brake work doesn't scare me either but frame repair is out of the question unless the tt is basioally free
he's asking 8k Canadian which is pretty cheap for around here with 4 new tyres, of course new tyres can hide all kinds of issues with alignment
