My 2017 quest for the perfect TT!

It's a nice looking trailer. If you know you've never had water issues, and the floor is less than stiff (I know previous post) because of lightweight construction, then stick to your guns regarding price. Personally I prefer the pics that show everything. If pics look good and the rig doesn't, the seller is being less than honest.

The graphics...not the photos..are random.

Your photos look good. I get upset, as a buyer, when someone exaggerates the condition of their car, truck, boat, etc., shows only good or few photos, and when I arrive the item is a piece of junk. I value honesty.

Only missing your phone number :B

I think the interior photos are great but may not represent the true colors of the unit. Combine that with a beautiful sunny day outside and folks may feel the camper is darker than advertised and see small blemishes washed out in the photos. You also have no control as to how people see your photo. ($69 phone or $300 monitor) Just a thought from a guy who use to process a lot of 35mm film.

You see this is what I am talking about. The pics are original unedited pics. They are just like they came out of the camera. But people get out here and their in person impression is that the pics look better then the actual trailer. If I wanted to make the pics look, believe me, I know how.

Original


Enhanced



But, pictures cannot replace real life, no matter how good they are. That is why I am thinking of taking bad pictures, so that reality is better then what they see online.

I think it's your interior photos. They make the RV look much lighter and brighter than it should be in reality. If you look at the photo of the bed, you'll notice that the white of the comforter is washed out - that means you're over exposing the image. Try compensating down by two stops.

Dunno... Your pics look great.. And I'm sure it's a very nice rig..

I looked at 3 used RV's and was so disgusted with them, I would only buy new after that experience... This was back in 2002..

Still have that brand new trailer I bought back then and have seen a lot newer rigs for sale since then and they don't hold a candle to mine.... :)

So, do whatever you need to do to sell your used RV... If you think pics will sell it, great.. If it's a POS and you are hiding it with pics... Well... That's your choice..

I would never buy a rig from pics alone... I also won't won't buy from a private party either... Just my own prejudice because I've been burned once and that's that... Never again...

Good luck! Mitch

I am not hiding anything, but I understand that some people do. MY TT is what it is. It is a 2005, not a 2017. I am only trying to get $5,000, not $25,000. According to the NADA estimate, $5,000 is more then $1,700 under the average value, and in my area, small TTs are at a premium, because of the Midland Oil Filed boom and all the young single guys that just need a place to sleep.

Honestly, I love my little trailer and the only reason I am selling it is because, somehow a 5,10 man and 5,3 woman produced a 6,2 15 year old son, that is too big for the make down table bed. If it were just me and the misses, I would never sell it.

That is a very nice RV. You like it. Let the kid sleep in a tent, he is plenty old. In 3 years he (should) either be in school or have a job and not be travelling with you. And in 3 years your trailer will be just right for you and your DW.

Good Point! Unfortunately, we are planning for just a little more then a weekend in the mountains. This year we plan to go to California to visit friend who has cancer, Washington to visit another friend, and down to Missouri to visit some more friends. Next year we are planning to go all the way to the Arctic shore of northern Canada.

Are you doing that with the kid?
