Does anyone have an RV? We are looking to buy an RV, a fifth wheel. We have been looking around and we have found a good deal on a couple of them but they are salvage titles, no major damage, just minor damage that has been fixed. Does anyone here have one? What are the best brands? Any experience with salvage titles? Any advise or comments is greatly appreciated. |
Anyone.....:confused: |
I don't have an RV, but I saw a show on HGTV about them. Here's the link: http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/ah_travel_l...438550,00.html http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/ah_travel_l...438626,00.html |

We have a 5th wheel for our guys at my work that travel. When they bring it back in town, next week. I will look to see who its made by. Its nice! |
My parents have an older model for sale, but they live in Nebraska. They wouldn't be able to deliver as my father no longer drives at night. |
That sounds like fun. We don't have a 5th wheel but we have a camper. My husband told me when we were looking that we were going to get a 5th wheel and I was so excited. Well, 3 years later and hundreds of miles driving around looking at campers and him researching everything he could...yes, he is anal....he bought a little 17 foot Casita....looks like a little egg!!! I was so upset but so tired of looking that I told him to get what he wanted just as long as I didn't have to look anymore and it had a bathroom and airconditioned. After 5 years of traveling over 40,000 miles, I wouldn't change a thing. It is small but has everything the big guys do and we can go places the big guys can't. Until my knees went out we were usually gone at least 2 weeks out of every month....Murfee has over 37,000 miles on him and he loves it too. Good luck, Patty |
I would make sure I knew where this 5th wheel came from, the reason being after all the hurricanes down in this area, you might be buying one that was flooded or wind damange, slavage is where thats the price if they were to junk it. just be careful there are a lot of cars and stuff from mississippi, new orleans and alabama that are being sold else where, I think it's a law they have to tell you if it has been in a storm or flooded before, check the orginal title and tag reciepts see what state it came from, people down here were just giving there cars and trailors away to anyone that would haul them off. us included titles went with the vechile. |
I also think I am not sure on this, a slavage title is where the insurance has paid off the orginial owners, you might need to call your court house title dept and ask them about this, also check with your insurance agent to see if they cover slavage titles, we have been through so much down here that I would be very careful if anything came from this area. |
ok I check with my agent and a slavage title, is where the vechile has had a claim on it and insuarance decided it was not worth fixing so they wrote it off as slavage, now the insurance people have sold it to an auction for parts or whatever or it could be resold to someone who fixed it, but it still has the salvage title on it. the problem is how bad was it hurt, if it came from this area it would probaley look fine because it was pick up by the wave and carry 12 miles or more down the road, but all the wirirng as become wet. and they have time to dry it out. see where I am going with this. I know that our car and boat look great but they were 15 miles where they statred from. just be careful and research where it came from. |
Kentucky has been "flooded' with all these hurricane vehicles. People have set up little car lots in their front yardss all along our highways. I can't afford a new car or new camper right now but I would almost rather do without than buy a used one unless I know for sure and had no doubt where it came from. we are looking around for a small RV too since we are retired and i might be going to a lot of dog shows. |

I have a brother who restores airstreams on the side. They are supposed to be the best, but I don't think they come as a fifth wheel. He lives in Fort Pierce. Anyway if you live in cold winters then you should check into the Mallard. It's a great RV with much better insulation than most others and very well made. Our first one was a Mallard, but we lived in MN. then. :D |
I wish you were closer to Georgia:p My parents have an RV for sale that is just gorgeous. It has no more than 70,000 original miles on it and the interior was decorated by my sister (who does custom draperies, etc) My Dad is recovering from major surgery and just can't drive it any more. (He'll be 77 in November) PM me for the price because it's RIGHT |
