Buying an old trailer
Hello, I'm looking at purchasing an old 80s travel trailer. It's about 20ft long and it's been sitting in my buddy's yard for two years. What should I be looking at when I'm looking over it?

Thank you all for the feedback. It looks like the biggest thing i need to look for is leaks. I am buying it from a friend for 500 dollars so not sure how concerned i am about the little things.
Im not to sure with these older guys if they have battery charging systems? is this a silly question? Is it easy to buy one and buy new batteries?
Kinda hard to go wrong for 500 bucks. If it's too bad you can strip off the camper and use the frame to build a snowmobile trailer. Helped friends do that a couple of times.
It probably has a converter / battery charger but, it will be the old school type. They work but, if you plug in a lot they can overcharge your batteries. And, they take a long time to completely recharge the battery / batteries. But, I've used them and gotten by just fine.
What brand name, model, and length is the Travel Trailer? Knowing that may allow the members here to help you out more.
