Should I Buy An Older Travel Trailer?

If you are handy with tools or have friends that are, even a basket case can be revived. My rig sat for a year while I was battling kidney failure, extensive water damage resulted. My high school buddy has been here for a few months and has completely rebuilt the roof system better than factory, a herd of elephants could dance on it now. He's added a few creature comforts and removed from kludge fixes the two previous owners to me put in. His skills on fabrication and my skills at finding RV parts on the internet cheap will make the Love Shack as good as new by spring. We took lots of pictures, and it is proof that even a basket case find, purchased for a song, could still save you thousands in cash, the flip side being a substantial investment in sweat equity.
