Good for you , doing your homework . Make a u-turn and run.
A 9 or 10 yr old RV is only as good as it was maintained. Forget about book values in units approaching the 10 year mark. For this dealer to post that is an 'elementary lure' to fish in a potential buyer. That $15k amount is totally useless and the dealer knows it.
He will end up selling it to some unsuspecting buyer with little experience.
The trailer may look nice and repaired , but for how long ?
....I mention it only because mold microbiology is my daughters business. She has always advised me to let her treat any mold issues because most people have no idea of how to do it.
She sent this some time ago for me to read .
Stachybotrysatra – This type of mold is also known as black mold. The health effects from black mold can be quite dangerous. An allergic reaction to the black mold spores can compound other reactions and symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and bleeding in the lungs and nose.
Mold can be difficult to eliminate on your own as it is very tolerant to temperature and humidity makes it thrive.
***** A common misconception about mold removal is that bleaching the mold or using other household cleaners will “kill” the problem. Painting over mold will not solve the issue either. These quick fixes can make the mold problem even worse by creating a cross-contamination effect.
Because they are not federally licensed mold experts, most mechanics can easily miss mold spores that hide in unsuspecting areas. Therefore replacing floors etc., only goes so far as to mask a potential problem.
