1977 wilderness 22ft --whats it worth

[MCharlebois]

going to look at a couple campers tomorrow... the guy says it`s in mint condition new fridge new tires stayed in a park all it`s life

they are asking 3k for it???

thanks marcel

New refrigerators run $800-$900 dollars. Get the receipt & warranty.



After that, IF the tires are new (check the date codes), and there's absolutely no sign of water entering the trailer, it may be worth $2,000. You know how to look for water entry and dry rot?



If it is "mint" and you get it for 2k, it should serve you for a while.

PS: I had a '74. Dry rotted under all the rubber strips on the rear.

Pickups towing recreational trailers don't stop at scales anywhere I've ever heard of.

Good on ya. I hope you enjoy it for a long time.



Have a look thru the Towing & Hauling/RV forum on this board if you're new to towing trailers. Lots of good info.
