Selling a trailer with water damage

We are going to sell our 2006 Extreme RV Monterey trailer that is the victim of recently discovered water damage/dry rot in the front corner. Obviously this is going to be a problem for most buyers.

Obviously.

IMHO: Unless you just happen to find a buyer who's dying to buy the exact TT you're selling regardless of the obvious water damage or someone just looking for a cheap fixer-upper, you're probably stuck with your TT until the damage is properly repaired and documented. Anyone who's been stuck with a water damaged RV knows that the damage you can see isn't the biggest proplem; it's the unseen damage found when you start tearing into ceilings, walls, and floors that quickly runs up the repair bill. I'd rather have any other needed repair to our 5'er than a water leak.

I can't speak for others but when I know of or smell or see water damage regardless if the damage has been repaired, thats the end of the conversation. I won't even entertain the idea of buying any RV with suspected or observed water damage, repaired or not. There's just too many RV's out there for sale that are water damage free to choose from. My hobby is camping...not camper repair. Good luck.

Happy camping!!! See y'all down the road!!!:)
