Whoa as him
The soon to be SIL purchased a 2004 Thor 21' travel trailer. I've been a member here for 15+ years. I told him to get advice here before buying a trailer. Guess what?
Well, I went by yesterday to drop off my grand twins. From 30 feet away I can see the small waves of delamination on the front of the trailer. The closer I got....not one square inch of the filon siding was attached to anything. I couldn't even feel the luan under the skin. The sides were nice. The back? Right where the tub is, all the plywood was completely dry rotted away. Couldn't even feel the studs. I didn't want to climb on the roof. I was afraid of what disaster might be awaiting up there. I told my daughter to get rid of it as soon as possible, while the market was still robust. Next time....they better drag me along.
