2005 Fun Runner 262

[alaska_guy1]

Any ideas what I should offer? Can't seem to find anything but what they cost new... 17k.

Right rear window has a crack, flooring is rough, has a small hole in the front of the hauler from a bike handle poking through (it's caulked closed). Missing both queen beds in the rear... He needed to fit his dune buggy in. The rear flooring is looking a little rough.







I am planning to put a rzr4 in the hauler.

He was originally asking $11,500... I then looked it over and said yeah, its not worth that. He said make an offer.

Thanks, I decided to pass.

Word of caution the side walls are sagging slightly. Look at the wheel well on the left side under the sofa and see how it is angled. Hard to tell on the right side but it may be tilted as well. WHen the trailer was new those wheel wells would have been square to the wall. This was a common problem with several manufacturers around that time due to weak outriggers welded to the outside of the frame that hold the walls up. I had this same problem on my 2004 WW FK19 Superlite. FWIW I sold that trailer last year for $4,200 and it also had a soft spot in the floor from water damage.

Have you looked at the roof yet? The inside will need some love, flooring all needs to be redone, you will need to find some sort of roll up carpet. Those were also "budget" trailers to begin with, which shows in the quality of materials used in the kitchen.

If you are a handy person, you can buy it for half of what he is asking and put money into it. If you would rather vacation in it instead of working on it then I would keep looking, there were lots of MFR's that made that design (front bed, lots of storage) in the 2000-2010 year range.

Good Luck!

So here's what I go by if I'm not laughing at my own offer it too high and don't feel if you offend them who cares you not going to marry him are ya? Offer $4.500 you have nothing to loose. I've bought so many things this way I shock myself when they say yes!!

My buddy has one, piece of junk. Keep looking.

Little rough for an 05. The price seems steep. Im sure you could do better. I looked at 1 a few yrs ago. Wasnt impressed with the plain setup

[alaska_guy1]

Thanks, neither one of those have a queen bed up front. So different models.

I want one with a queen bedroom up front.

They're in better shape than the one you're looking at.

[alaska_guy1]

What you see is what you get.

[dedmiston]

Where's the carpet? Is it in decent shape?

[alaska_guy1]

Yeah, I asked him the same thing. He said he forgot he left it in the trailer. Said he was storing it there. He removed the metal plate and the floor looked and seemed fine.

[dedmiston]

Why did he add the metal plate to the floor? Did something happen there?
