Thanks for the advice guys
1) I don't know enough to disagree :)
2) No to having owned RVs, TT or Hybrids. I have always tent camped including 18 nights in the Grand Canyon. Therefore a pop up would be a big upgrade and a hybrid a HUGE upgrade! LOL
3) What I really want is a professionally restored 1960s 25-28' Airstream. As soon as I find one for 5k, I am on it! Or I win the lottery. The second being more likely
4) I could post some photos if needed, but I felt like a leaking roof/title/price either said YES! or NO!!!! I feel like general consensus is NO!!!
The pictures show the camper looks really nice in general. Has some delamination of the corner of the interior ceiling. No picture of roof. Walls seemed solid, floor seemed solid. and no smells.
5) I had offered 2500. For that price, at worst, I could probably get at least get a season or two and use the guts for a conversion or restoration project later on.
Anyway, thank you for the advice. I have always negatives about the quality of modern built TTs and had looked at doing a cargo trailer conversion. I really like the idea of metal and aluminum construction, but I don't have that kind of time. Regardless, you still see alot of 70s 80s and 90s TTS on the road still so I thought I would consider some built in the 2000s
