Is this delamination? Something else?

[jimx200]

I've been looking for a solid trailer to put in my backyard for a family member who is handicapped and wants her own place. Our rents here are sky high and she's on disability so renting a studio apartment is hopeless.

I found this trailer on Craigslist, but just noticed one photo showing what looks to me like delamination..not sure. I'm going to look at it tomorrow, but if water damage, I won't waste my time. Thoughts on this?

Look at photo on bottom row, right side, third to the left.

Very, very good decision. Good luck in your search.

Yes, there it is clearly visible that this is a delamination. Do not waste your time. For a goal like yours you need to find the best option! Good luck

Looks like the filon came loose from the cross supports. May be from water intrusion, might not.
Take a moisture meter and test all over the front. If wet, then leave it. If not, you can either fix it or leave it be.
Seems like a high price for an 8 year old trailer with a wrinkled front cap.

I have a lot less delamination and a dealer said he too off $4000! So ask for at least that much off or run.

Looks awful, and probably is! Don't waste your time even going to look at it. Run Forest! Run! (and don't look back), you'll be sorry if you do.

Looks like the support under it is broken.

Could be a run-in with a tree with an even worst attempt at trying to mellow it out.

Under no circumstances should she buy that or even take it for free.

Run Away. Yes, it's delamination.

I would keep looking. Definitely delamination, likely water got in the seam.

Pass on this one.

If the front is the only place, it is one of the easier delams to fix. ( some would say that this particular damage is not classic delamination) If you buy it cheap enough, it could be a good deal. Use this as a bargaining point... And get some quotes using the pics on fixing it before plunking down the cash

I’ve heard those front walls are floating. It’s very common for the fiberglass to breakaway from the backing. It may just be an age thing. What does the wall and floor inside look like?
