We were at the dealership looking at a pop up for $2,700. And then saw this for sale for $3,995. So we ended up buying for that price. So I don't know how we did on the price but I was just lied to about the leaks. Really if this can get us through a few years. We can then decide if we want to upgrade to something nicer.
Any pup or camper at a used lot for 2 to 3k is garbage. I am a used car lot owner and resent the foul mouth reports. Yes all of our campers come from repossessed auctions and we don't buy leakers or abominations of pups, hybrids, or travel trailers.
Having dabbled in "pre owned" autos with my brother in law for about 15 years, who has been in that business for over 30 and still is, That's just the used car stereotype. No need to resent any reports LOL, it comes with the territory. Frankly that stereotype exists because the vast majority of used car lot owners and sales people are crooks. You will never see as many shady looking characters anywhere than at the auctions. Since my brother in law is a straight shooter and honest person, he gets most of his business from people who were screwed over or had the insight to see the upcoming screwing being set up, from the borderline criminal used car hacks around the area, of which there are many. He then ends up with lifetime repeat customers thanks to those guys.
OP...............the only thing I think you can do is either dump that thing or just peck away at repairs the best you can and get some use out of it. Finding a 10 year old laminated rig no matter the type, that does not have some amount of delam and water intrusion is almost impossible. Go to any used lot at an RV dealer and look close. The only ones I have ever seen @ 10 yrs old without it are one owner, immaculately maintained rigs, and there are very few out there.
