Used RV Dealers new tacticks

[Cris Wiedaman]

Befor I called the dealer "Big Bob" This is not thier name but untill
they decide not to give me my deposit back I will not name them.

On ebay the used RV dealer sells used RVs that they can not if the
person sees/smells/inspects.


****************************Reality********************************
RV hasn't Had much of anything repaired in atleast 15 years.
Some repairs=Total rehab
After the dealer required a deposit he thought he had me. I took the
Grayhound 400 miles to see the BB. I had 4 requirements.
1. It had to have good tire ruber so I could make it home safely and
hopefully go on a couple trips.
- Tires have not been replaced in many years. Rims were not only
rusting but spalding. The metal was coming off in layers.
2. A minimal amout of mold was to be detected.
- The porouse wood of an RV holds mold once there is a leak. Every
window had no seal whatsoever. The tracks for the window were filled
with moldy frozen mush and the snow from that day was sitting in the
RV near each window. Dealer pretended to check the locks on the
windows. That was funny. This has been leaking for years and years. I
would fear the frame may even be damaged. Maybe not.
3. General damage had to be at a minimal.
- The Generator did not look like the picture. It looked like a
dead cat in a rusty hole. The back window of the buss was broken and
the dealer said he thought that was the film on the window. The back
of the BB with broken glued together taillights, chrome coming off
the bumper in a large sheet, has been used to stop this BB many
times. The dealer made sure not to put this in the picture.

After I said I did not want it because it was way to much for me to
handle he said 3 things.
"By the time we get them they are trash heaps" and "we put the ones
we can not sell on the internet" and We will only refund you the
difference of the deposit and what we end up selling it for.
Translated=You will not see a dime because I dought we can sell it
now that Ebay did not even work for this RV.

If you have lots of time and atleast 23k This may be a good buy at $1-
2k. The engine seamed to run well. I didn't dare to look in on it. :-)
