Would you buy this?
I'd like to get a TT soon so I can have as much time as possible to fix it up the way I want it before I have to hit the road. I've watched trailers come and go on ebay. Haven't found any other place ...

I'm not rich. Limited income. But I have the time and my neighbor will help me with work.
The two posters have already seen something wrong here. I'd like any and all pointed out to me as if it will take thousands to fix, there is no reason for me to purchase it.
He also says it can be towed with my 1988 4 cyl toyota pickup. So far it's been 50/50 between folks on whether I can.
My previous comments were based on a couple of things. First, think about if you were buying a 40 year old house. You might reasonably expect to have to fix a few things up that have deteriorated. Same, if you bought a 40 year old vehicle. Most likely have to do some fixin' to get her road worthy again.
Travel trailer....yep....both a house and a vehicle, you see where I'm going here.
I'm not trying to talk anyone out of taking on a restoration project, merely suggesting it's best to go with eyes wide open, as that gives a much higher likelihood of success.
Maybe if something like this had been stored for 40 years under cover in a desert environment, it could be very good. But outdoors, in 40 years of summer sun, rain and winter storms, it takes it's toll.
I had a '92 Toyota 4 cylinder, five speed truck, that i bought new and put 175,000 miles on. I towed a small open motorcycle trailer, and a small cargo trailer with it a lot. I would not consider it an adequate truck to pull a camper like this. Just my opinion.
