fellows on this site that could possibly help you or steer you to
someone who can. See if you can make a deal with the owner to hold it
for you. A 30 day $500.00 "refundable" deposit dependant on a good
inspection by a pro. Most deals that seem to be to good to be true
usually is a bad deal. If you buy a basket case you can spend a ton
of money fixing it up. There are a lot of very good Wanderlodges that
have been well taken care of on the market now. Don't let the fever
lead you into a bad deal. The smoke probably is in all the fabric's
and on a hot day would be obnoxious. Be careful!

I would also advise you to get a professional to check out the rig.
I paid a little over 20,000 dollars for my rig and all it needed was
new brakes on the back end and up dated tires. I guess if your hubby
is a person that likes to fool around with machanical things at the
price your getting it for it might be a fair deal. But by the time
and unknow problems you might run into you might just pay a little
bit more and know what your getting. I would defenitily get a real
RV mechanic to check it out and see what the real price would be
after you complete getting in order. Jon
