Yeah,
The deal isn't final, and I can't get the owner to return emails to me.
Kinda irritating if you ask me.

I hear that... I work with a local sea scout troop and at least half our vessel donations end up that way... After a few months of no contact or paper work we just dump it back in their yard. BTW feel free to check us out at Sea Scouts Ship 5544 - PTF 3 Restoration Project. Not trying to advertise or anything but I fig that the USN vets will find it an interesting site. good luck!

Bollocks!
Well,
I received a mail this weekend that the shop with the GT committed to another buyer less than a week before I was to go and pick it up .
Looks like I am still in the hunt...gotta find one soon to make my rally in October.

Were you looking at a Safari Sport before this?

I called this lady shortly after seeing the post. This trailer was all original other than the new foam and upholstery. She has had it 20 years and used it 4 times. No floor or frame issues were addressed (Of course this one doesn't leak or have any issues).
I told her that I bought my Caravanner that had $34,000 into if for only $1,000 more, and it was a total rebuild. She has had 2 callers, and one person stopped by. She isn't budging on price.
People just aren't informed!

At that price she might have to sit on it awhile. I don't think any caravels have gone quite that high, without being a full resto-modernized piece of art, like winnick or VV, and those go for a lot more.
It still might be worth going to look at. She might not be willing to budge over the phone, but if you had a look at it and found some problems, or found it was really nice, negotiating in person might have better luck. I have found I get yanked around by a lot of goofballs while trying to sell my car on CL, I've gotten to the point where if they can't be bothered to come out, I don't want to deal with them.

Denny,
I was, but was unable to swing the extra $15,000 for the unit.

Steve,
I'm in discussions with Eric S, about doing a remodel for me. Would you mind giving me a call to discuss your experience??
