When we got ours the seller was an amazing person. He said there was no issues and when he opened it up for us a small nickel size hole was found in the vinyl over a bunk end. He was openly upset and cut the price in half (now that was the ONLY "big" issue after we went completely through it). The curtains were faded but they were 30 years old lol. Nothing else was wrong with it. The seller cut the price almost in half. We took it home and patched that tiny spot, replaced the curtains and have been enjoying it since!
Great video you guys. I agree with Robert.. make sure you raise the popup yourself and slide out the beds as well. Also check the tires and look at the date code. I'd also recommend looking underneath the camper, checking the axle and see if you see any leaks underneath the camper.
Worth asking to have the seller hook it up and pull around to verify the hitch, suspension and brakes function, no abnormal creaks/rattles or cracks, the first thing you're gonna be doing is towing it down the road. And make sure the lights work and the electrical is correct to tow vehicle prior to pick up.
Check between the canvas and the side, front and back boards of the roof for water damage. This is easily done by only raising the roof a foot or two and pushing the canvas back. Use a flashlight. If they won’t raise the roof leave. There is wiring in the canvas that goes from the box to the roof. Check and make sure this is in good shape and hasn’t been pinched. Check tires. I picked up a 20 year old pop up with the original tires. They were to the cords. Also one pop up (a high wall) had tires that were below the load limit of the tire. I didn’t catch this until one exploded on me while driving and did a lot of damage. When I buy a trailer I like to ask the person selling it to turn the fridge on a couple hours before I get there to see if it indeed works. Not everything is a deal breaker but it is a price negotiation point. Thanks for your videos.

Saw one where they fancied themselves a welder and extended the hitch for storage...not original factory built was obvious
OOh.. I need to figure out how to make an Amazon Store front. Very cool.
