Heil Harvesting, Ulysses KS/Limon CO | These guys have pretty well hit the nail on the head. Look for stains in the cielings. If it has been pulled much look for rotting wood on the lower front where the tires splash water up. Fiber glass is preferred for leaks. All the aluminum siding ones leak eventually. You can see general condition. Make sure and look at the spring hanger areas, and above the tires. If they have ever had a spring broken they are neverr the same again. Give aways for that are the condition above the tires and signs of strain in the frame webbing. Brands--they are all the same in this way--same age, same demensions, if the blue book on it is higher it is a better trailer. You definitely get what you pay for. Slides are nice, but also require maintenence.
We have 2 and live in them all summer, so if you have further questions you know how to get ahold of me.
For family fun, your kids will remember that camper a lot more than a hotel room. Even if they have to hold pots to catch the leaks when it rains...
