I have the opportunity to purchase a wrecked and totaled popup real cheap.the wreck bent the frame at the tongue and the whole back side of the Coleman popup has been destroyed. you can see into the PU.
RUN, don't walk away from this one!
It will cost WAAAY more than $500 to fix it even if it could be fixed.
AND, anything with a bent frame is nothing more than a piece of junk that can not be restored to correct and it needs to go to the junk yard. Which is the reason the insurance company totaled it.
The owner got paid from the insurance company and you want to give him more money for his totaled RV.? I hope he is not your friend trying to put the screws to you! :W
There are plenty of older used fixer uppers out there for sale that your money would be better spent on. Keep looking you will find one that fits your budget. :C
