I don't think there is any malicious intent on the part of the seller. I talked to them on the phone, and they seemed genuine.....and I am pretty good judge of that kind of thing....I can almost always see thru someone trying to feed me a line....but don't get me started on politics.
It is just my confusion....and possibly theirs....because of never buying a big ticket item from a private seller before.
Thanks for all the responses, I think I know how to proceed....If I decide to pull the trigger on this thing.
It is a Host Everest, and the more research I do...I think it may be heavier than I want. My truck has a cargo capacity of 5076 lbs, but that thing is huge....4350 dry...and I will be pulling a boat a lot of the time. If you add people, stuff, 81 gal of water, and a boat I would have to beef up my suspension.
I REALLY like the Everest, but I may have to look for a nice used 1191.
