Thinking HARD about this trailer?

2009 Keystone

It's at Demontrand RV in Conroe. Owner says I can have it for $7200. Nothing needs replacing except the curtain in front of the back bed. No rust, no soft spots in floor, walls, and ceiling. I stomped, pushed, knocked, opened every cabinet, took out the drawers and looked underneath them, etc.

Thoughts?

  • This is pretty much my TT. I have the hideout 26'. Just got it. It is going back for a few fixes, but nice in general. This is our first TT. I wouldn't say that this is the best made on the market, but decent for the price.
  • Looks nice, very clean. Only concern is the price....seems too high, although I have not checked NADA. Suggest you go online to NADA/RV. Enter only the year, make and model....no options. It will ask for condition. Believe also the zip code. That will give you the suggested price. Not having a slide will be a negative. Otherwise, no glaring flaws. Is this a consignment on their lot or does the dealer own it?? If you can, finding out how long it's been there may be a clue that it's overpriced.

    One suggestion....if you haven't already checked the manufacture date on the tires, do that. If they're at about the 4 - 5 year mark, you'll be shelling out about $500 pretty quickly. There is a code on the edge close to the rim...a 4 digit number such as 3109, which will mean that the tire was manufactured the 31st week of 2009. Trailer tires need to be replaced at the 4 - 5 year mark regardless of how they look. You could either reduce your offer or ask the dealer to replace the tires.

    Good luck. Hope you can work this out and start some great camping.
