Jennifer -- You certainly should not buy this without inspection by a qualified tech person. If the seller will not agree the deal is contingent on the results of an inspection, RUN -- do not walk -- to the nearest exit. The seller should hold a nominal deposit and then refund this if your mechanic is negative. Don't be pressured by remarks that a 'hot buyer' is on the way. This is usually smoke. Others on the List can comment on the price. How many Wisconsin winters has this camper seen? I used to live in Chicago and know the kind of pervasive damage you get from midwestern road salt. It's not obvious until you get under the vehicle, or pull some electrical connectors. Quick test: horn should blow loudly. Ask how owner 3 knew owner 1... Possibly some List member in Wisconsin can help you. Should be a few in the Madison area, certainly.....?? Best of luck, Glenn McComas, Queenstown, Maryland
