Re: Airstream for $2000!?!?!
Yeah so it ended up being fake as heck - I could "see" it "when it got to my house after shipping" It smelled fishy so I Google search and found a forum that had this same scam, using different names but the exact same story and the exact same wording. On the bright side I found a real, better, not scammy find - a 1975 Shasta 16' SCS. For $900. Went to see it, she plugged it in and let me check it out - ac and plumbing worked as far as I could tell, no water damage. I didn't check the appliances as I plan to replace them anyway, but had things like string lights and electric clocks working, lights worked. Fridge worked too and had some snacks in it! I loved it so much that I gave her 1200 instead of 900... and now I get a nice Shasta to make my own :) I've never been happier.455Views0likes0CommentsAirstream for $2000!?!?!
So I have stumbled upon a "too good to be true" scenario methinks. The Price: $2000 even The Trailer: 1993 Airstream Excella, 25 ft Supposedly in good condition, no leaks, everything works, sent lots of pictures - AND I can go see it, too! The curiosity is killing me! The Story: Woman divorced husband, trailer is in her name, has title in hand, selling it to get rid of it. It looks really good in the pictures too - I honestly can't wait to go see it. Taking a taser and a friend, of course.7.8KViews0likes34CommentsAge Limit on Used RV?
So I'm looking at a trailer (either fifth wheel or travel) that is affordable - and, by extension, used. I see some great looking trailers that I could outright pay for, however they are anywhere between 2004 and 2014... Obviously, a 2004 trailer would be 12 years old - how old is too old? I'm okay with replacing some things and plan to do some "remodeling" (aka, paint, maybe floor... do some DIY upholstery changes...) but I do NOT want a junker or something that has to have important things like piping, wiring redone. I've been watching a lot of "what to look fors" when rv shopping and definitely will be checking, but is there a point where a trailer is just "too old"? Or is it well and dandy to get one that's been broken in?4KViews0likes18CommentsNo Travel Full Timing Questions
So long story short, we have a piece of land and decided we wanted to stick a either a park trailer, travel trailer, or fifth wheel on it. So, for questions: Is it possible to have running water if we can hook it up to whatever water system will be on the land? I know that the black and grey water tanks need to be emptied - can we hook it up to the (likely septic...) waste system and simply keep the valves closed, emptying the tanks as needed? My father has a WiFi source in his truck - can we put a WiFi source in the trailer? The land is currently cleared but undeveloped - what needs to be put in for water, electricity, dumping? Perhaps a concrete slab to put the trailer on? Is there anything else that we need to put on the land for the trailer? Thank you for your time!3.1KViews0likes10Comments
