Just finished checking out the Foot, unfortunately it didn’t go to well. The water damage was severe all throughout the camper. Just about every window, cabinet, and locker had water. Soft spots all over the walls and shell. Powerful, almost dizzying musty smell throughout, along with numerous interior seams pulling apart. Carpeting under the dining table was still damp, and much of the wood was either blackened from water, or just crumbling apart. One of the anchors was cracked, and another was completely separated from the shell. Surely the jack mounts were similar.
The sagging roof was probably water damage, as when I squeezed it, water dripped out of cracks in the roof hatch sealant. I offered him $3k and he countered with $6k, but to be honest I didn’t really want it at all after what I saw. Really disappointing, and a lot of expensive lessons. The owner was nice though, and gave me a snow cone.
While they say that a picture is worth a 1000 words, seeing is really believing!!
Contrary to the images you posted that showed a camper in good/decent condition upon actual inspection it was far from that.
Don't give up, there are well maintained campers out there. However I'm afraid your going to have to waste a lot of time looking at 'duds' before finding one.
best of luck on your search!
